Winter Stuff

Grandad's Birthday, we went out for a Birthday breakfast at The Anchorage for Dad's birthday, before he and Mum jetted off to the UK for six weeks.




We then had Aunty Helen arrive for a lovely (but ) visit...



Just after Helen flew to Melbourne to continue her holiday, we left on a 12 hour road trip to the snow...

On the ferry over to Wellington

First Stop for a break Bordertown

Feeding the birds at Bordertown

More Driving...

A Stopover in Ararat, Darcy loved his and Quinn's little room

Back on the road...

Quick detour to meet our best mates in Daylesford (very pretty place)


Lunch with Jake, Luke...

and Sarah!

Darcy and Jake had a good catch up!!!

Getting closer to the snow now

All suited up ready for the snow

Look snow...

Darcy is all ready to go

Putting (but not keeping) Quinn's gloves on

Fun in the snow

Quinn really wasn't too sure!

Darcy loved it when we arrived

We built a snowman with eyebrows and spikey hair!!!

Here he is...

A welcome warm up hot chocolate

On the playground in Marysville

Back on the road again...

Next night was in Ballarat

We stopped at The Giant Koala on our journey home

Out in Horsham on our last night
Darcy sums up our snow holiday quite well, he tells everyone "I loved it and Quinn hated it, then, after we had a hot chocolate Quinn loved it and I hated it". I think we might be more of a sun holiday family! Glad we did it, but can't say we will be rushing to do it again soon. ;)
