MY SPECIAL VISITOR

Im not the best for words but here it goes, I met Megan when I was around 5 and Megan would have been 3 on the slopes of our driveways in Viewbank.

Here are a few things we used to get up to -

Both Megan and I had swimming pools but mine was unfortunaly always cold being in the shade covered by trees and a carport. We always used to run into my pool then run into Megan's pool to get warm (which was like a hot bath) and we used do the best whirley pools.

(I do have a photo of those lovely peacock bathers Megan but thought hmmm you would kill me..lol)

Collecting Alliminum cans from being at the footy with mum and dad all day, Megan and I used to sit out the front and hammer like 100's of cans to nothing with the occational sand thrown into some to make them a little heavier when it came to cashing them in for cash.

Plenty of sleepovers, rollerskating and the best Tennis as we got older. We got coached then of to competitive tennis where we played together till Megan moved to Darwin which didnt stop us being friends.

Here are a few photos .

Here is Megan posing for the camera

We definately had our differences ...

KARA'S DAY AT BUZY KIDZ

So much to do so little time to do it in!!!

A Play inside with friends in and out tunnels,

through ball pits, jumping castles.

Time for outside. Grab a helmet and bike and start peddling.

Great place for the kids to learn a bit of road sense as you can see it the pictures there are traffic lights, round-a-bouts, give way signs and railway tracks.

Time to return that bike Kara, time to go home.

"YEAH RIGHT MUM...
COME AND GET ME"

Alarm goes off at 6am Sunday "sigh just another 20 minutes I say" next minute blankets were thrown off (now I no khow how the kids feel when i do it to them)

Leaving Melbourne was 5c (41F) was expecting a top temp of 12c (52F) for the day.

First stop petrol, followed by a debate on the direction we were going.. I lost, if we went my way we were heading to the beach dont think we would have found much snow there..lol

2nd stop - Breafast at MacDonalds

3rd stop - Buy fresh rolls for lunch (salad and meat prepared the night before)

**********

Fourth Stop - Marysville last town you go through till you start climbing the mountain

The kids getting all decked out in there Waterproof Snow gear.

Getting Closer - temp had dropped to 2c (36F) was beautiful road side views couldnt see much past there as it was very foggy as you can see in the photo.

Then we Arrive Temp has dropped to -1.5c (27F), It was snowing when we arrived which i was very pleased to see as I've never experienced it. The kids had a great day as did Colin & I.

Was hard work walking up the slopes, was a great day but was glad when we were in th car with the heaters on.
