Cass's Hawaiian Birthday.......

Saturday 7th January

We made it home from Darwin to attend Cass's birthday party..... Hawaiian style......  (and the kids were happy about a pool party.....)

Jade loves any excuse to dress up..... 

Blake would also suit this lifestyle... complete with blue hair.....

If I'm going to do this.... I gotta do it RIGHT... and have non-matching shirt and pants... ;)

Rob ended up looking like he was in some really bad school uniform.... (maybe it was the socks that made it look that way... but he was happy in hot pink shorts....)

Me with the birthday girl.... :)

Darwin - Day Fifteen - The Trip Home....

Friday 6th January

So, it's time to head home....  We headed to the airport early to get checked in which allowed Rob to go and wash and return Greg's car to save a lot of back and forth driving with Liv and Cruiz leaving them to just chill until they wanted to head to the airport to say goodbye :)

Unfortunately, we got there so early that check-in wasn't open yet... so Rob had to hang out with us as well before he could start doing his things.....

Such a social mob!

One we were in, we headed to the Qantas Lounge... they've got an awesome kids room in Darwin....

I wasn't given any Cruiz time as Aunty Jade came in and stole her again.....

Jade & Liv have the same sized feet!

And then it was time to leave.......

Blake wanted to try out the massage chair....

We flew Business Class from Darwin to Brisbane.....  the kids thought they were so special :)

Jade's plate at the Brisbane Qantas Loung.... Ginger Hearts and Gherkins..... that seems right!

Carrot sticks & hummus .... 

Uncle Frank met us at the airport to get us home again..... :)

Darwin - Day Fourteen - Crocosaurus Cove ....

Thursday 5th January...

I'd managed to get in contact with an old school friend Cheradin who was in Darwin for Christmas with her kids visiting her hubby who works up there.... so we arranged to catch up for lunch... which then turned into a "lets go to Crocosaurus Cove" at the last minute....

Poor Rob missed out.... AGAIN....  Damn his work expecting him to spend his holidays working... but... them's the brakes....

The kids table....  Blake, Jade, Mitch & Georgia

Some people did a dive with the crocs....  

We took the kids to do a photo shoot....

The Pics!

That night we headed to Hogsbreath for dinner for our last dinner in Darwin.....

Jade & Blake have discovered snapchat...
