Mat is up to visit!

Rob finally arrived back in Gladstone on Friday - just in time to get some sleep before having to head back to Rockhampton to pick up Mat off the plane... Greg travelled up with Rob.. and together they managed to lose Mat...

Somehow flight numbers got mixed up - or Rob just got confused... hehe - which is more likely? ;)

Anyway, before Rob had left for Rocky - I said "make sure you take up the camera.... get pics of Mat and Greg, when Mat lands" "Great idea!!" (being the usual response)...

Off they went.... then I went to check something on the computer - and there's the camera... hrmpf!!!

Well, I figured we'd get photos when we all went out to dinner on Saturday night... Aunty Lyn was in town - as well as Damian's father... so it was a good opportunity to get some photos... and the camera got left at home again!! (not having much luck!)...

Sunday morning we got up and headed off to the Bowling Alley... figuring that they would be open around 9am (as that's when Sea Urchins opened - and it's next door....) - we arrived at 9:45 - only to find that it opens at 10... unfortunately - Jade spotted Sea Urchins next door (that was supposed to have shut down at the end of March - so we hadn't taken Jade there in a while) - and it was open... So I ended up having to go there with Jade while Rob took the boys bowling....

Jade got bored with Sea Urchins after an hour (hard to remain excited when she's there on her own... usually we've got friends kids or Xander with us -so Jade has someone to play with - but she didn't know any of the kids there, doesn't appear that she's a huge social butterfly).. so we headed off to bowling to find out how long the boys were going to be.... all in all it was a good morning and we managed to get Jade down for a lunchtime sleep - so we were happy with that!

Rob and all of his kids.... (not a photo we get to take too often)
"oooh - let me do this!!!"
Rob helping Jade line up a shot... (not a very attractive position!)
Jade and her little helper....


Mat lending a hand....
Jade didn't care if she knocked down any pins or if she landed the ball straight in the gutter... each shot deserved a hi-5....


Helping Greg keep score....
Jade had to try her hand at taking a photo....

and then needing to see a pic of herself....


Boys waiting their turn....


Greg bowling.....

Jade was making sure that she soaked up as much "Daddy Time" as she could get - given that he hasn't really spent much time at home the last few months - she gets really clingy when he is here....

Mat bowling...

You'll have to excuse the quality of the photos.... I didn't seem to get the focus correct... I blame the camera.... Rob would use this as an excuse to harrass me into a new lens.. but it can all wait....
