New Years Eve, Special Friends and Seven Mile Beach

Harvey's best friends are Angus and Sian Sinclair. They live at Seven Mile Beach ...in Tasmania and Harv has missed them greatly. The good news is that we all had a fun and fabulous day today just "hanging out" and being together.

Boogie boarding...well attempting to ...

Gus and Sian have two children - Cameron is turning 6 in a few days and Abbie is 19months old and very adorable. Today, Gus took the children and Harv out fishing in his dinghy "Snowflake 2". It was a first for Prue to not only go fishing, but on a dinghy ! The non-enthusiastic boat lovers ie. ME, stayed on shore. Since there was so many of  us, Gus went out twice, once with Madi, Julian and Cameron - supervised by Gus and Harv, and the second outing with Josh, Michaela and Prue with the supervisors. The children had a fantastic time ! Julian was the fisherman of the day - catching the first fish within SECONDS of putting his line into the water, followed up with two more ! Madi got a Flathead, Prue got one, Michaela got one, Josh got two and Harv got one. A great mornings work ! Well done sailors !
 
All geared up to go!

Getting outta the water.

I enjoyed basking in the sun, supervising the swimmers and eating junk food. It was awesome. We saw the funniest sight (photos to come). Some guy drove a tractor onto the beach...and he hauled up his dinghy ! I guess that's how he "rolls" ! :P Was such a funny sight.

Back at Gus and Sian's home,we had a delicious lunch of freshly caught fish and salmon....YUUUMMMM !!! It was SO DELICOUS ! Lots of laughs all around and the children enjoyed jumping around on a bouncy castle that the Sinclairs had hired for Cameron's upcoming party (tomorrow). Cameron had heaps of fun chatting away with "the BIG kids". Abbie was cute as a button hanging out with the girls.

Our catch! All cleaned, cut , crumbed then BBQ-ed...YUM!

It was so nice to have a relaxing day chit-chatting and catching up. I was complemented numerous times on how wonderful our children are. I was a proud mummy today. :) I kinda like my children - like A LOT ! They are so awesome !

In the evening, we sat and grazed on salads and leftovers. We also had snacks and watched two lots of fireworks that the city of Hobart hosted. The early fireworks are for families with young children and started at 9:30pm, the second lot at midnight. Large bonus being up on the side of the mountain overlooking the bay! SO swish ! Ha ha ha !

Happy 2012 world !
