Pete and I left Mandy and Graeme's house after breakfast and a few hours later as we were driving into Perth, Tash texted us to say Mandy and Graeme had to evacuate their home due to a bush fire that was close by.
Mandy texted me these photos ..it was scary for a while but the fire brigade had it under control by 8pm ...then Mandy could go home...they were lucky to have a lake less than a kilometre away, the helicopters could drop water at a good pace.
Chris is now in Denver and it is -10 degrees....he says it is a beautiful place ...

A leaping frog game...
On our way to Candy Cow ....the local lolly shop ....
The Pick and Mix bar...the boys took a paper bag each and filled them up to 150gm with their favourite lolly or chocolate...it's so exciting!!
Yum....
A rocking cow...
Pete and Ethan at the counter ....
On our way to Mandy and Graeme's Pete and I stopped at Point Piquet beach for a swim...it is our favourite bay beach and the weather was perfect.
A few little waves and clear water...
It is a very pretty beach...
This is the beach on the other side of the point ...
Mandy and Graeme's Cheap and Cheerful gathering this evening...whilst drinking champagne and eating nibbles we all participated in the Bocce competition... Stevie's turn....
Pete's turn....he looks like he has a rather large mohawk !
Geoff, Hugh and Pete discussed the world's problems...
Pete picked up my phone and took this photo while I was waiting for my turn. It was a fun night ...lots of laughs ....little did we know what the next day would bring....

We are down south this weekend...spent the day with Flynn while Mum was teaching...after a coffee and cake Flynn enjoyed playing in this car while Pete did some shopping.
...we spent some time at the Margaret River train park (that's what we call it)...
....such a happy chap....
In the late afternoon we all went to the Margaret River Brewhouse restaurant to celebrate Tash and Todd's friend and neighbour, Jez's 50th birthday ...we ate outside while the kids ran around the fabulous playground...the kids were happy to see the kookaburras...so was I...
Obviously it is a popular spot....the food was fantastic ...
A final photo taken...the birthday boy's can't be seen, holding his two daughters, Polly and Asher..Todd is holding Will and Ethan...Jez's dad, Ron is holding Max (his grandson) and Tash is holding Flynn...it was a really lovely evening.
A beautiful tree I noticed on our way to the car....they look so majestic at sunset...
This is a photo taken by Chris who is in Salt Lake City....aren't the mountains stunning... he is there for work...
