I've been a bit busy latley (Hi Mel!) so the updates have been few and far between. Sorry! The June school holidays are over for another year. Emma and Brad squeezed as much cool stuff as possable into their week with Dad. Ten pin bowling with Mel, Calypso and Tamsyn was great fun. Rock climbing at "The Climbing Edge" was cool. Emma did really well and Brad made it to the top of five different two story walls, but the highlite was our trip to Melbourne. Brett got us into the Grand Chancellor which was great as they had an open rooftop pool that had insanley hot water. Only Tasmanians would be silly enough to use it, but it was awsome to be outside in the freezing cold and yet be so warm. We had to swap our room for another one with three single beds as no one wanted to share a double! I probably should mention that I lost Brad after only ten minutes in Melbourne. After checking in at the motel we went up in the lift, but when the lift doors closed behind us Brad wasn't there. The dodgy wheel on his bag had malfunctioned and he was stuck in the lift. He cruised around a few floors before returning to us a few minutes later wondering why I looked so worried! We saw St Kilda get thrashed by Adelaide at the Telstra Dome. Emma belted her flag on the railing in frustration and the wooden knob flew off the end and cracked some guy below in the head. We took a tram to the train station, then a train to the bus stop, then a bus to the DFO factory outlet at Cheltenham. There were some awsome bargains and even I had fun buying stuff although I'll probably regret it when the credit card bill comes in. The best bit had to be Circus Oz. We had ring side seats so at times we were a part of the show. Check out the photo's in the "Our Pictures" section of the main menu.
