Jeremy's Netball team....so pleased for him and glad that he is doing so much exercise.

 

The Hotham Valley Steam Train...our reason for coming to Dwellingup...

After taking a good look at the engine we went to find our carriage...

Waiting patiently for the train to move...lots of whistle blowing and train tooting..

Enjoying his mini muffin...

After an hour of travelling through the beautiful bush and farmland we arrived at the end of the line...where the engine had to go from one track to another and back again to be at the front of the train to return to Dwellingup...this was very exciting to watch.

The return trip wasn't quite as exciting as the first hour of the ride...a lolly pop kept them happy while looking out the windows.

Flynn had a nap in Tasha's sling and thought the return trip very exciting when he woke up. This is my last photo from our five fabulous days away. I had a great birthday...and I still have celebrations with my big boys to look forward to...next Sunday with Jeremy and in August in Melbourne with Chris and Michelle.

 

They love their books...

He is so adorable...

Driving through the beautiful Marrinup State Forest on our way to the Marrinup Falls...

It was a beautiful walk to the Falls...

Having a wonderful time with their sticks...

Marrinup Falls

Visited South Dandalup Dam 

In the afternoon the boys took their bikes down to the bike track...

Will loved it..

Ethan decided to scoot it rather than bike it...

Beautiful oak trees in the town...such distinctive and pretty leaves.

The wattles just starting to bloom...everywhere....

A game before bed....

Ethan managed to win the two games! So proud of himself.

 

Tash had made me a birthday cake...with no sugar! It was delicious and just perfect with a coffee.

I love this photo that Tash took

Everyone loved the top bunk...especially the Super Heroes.

A wonderful children's playground was near by...

Checked out all the old train engines at Dwellingup Station.

Will and Ethan are very interested in the Super Heroes....

Shower, PJs, books, teeth, bed....

 

Mandy, Pete and I went for a short walk this morning along the bay....

The sun eventually came out.....

After saying goodbye to Mandy and Graeme, Pete and I drove up to Dwellingup where we will be staying for the weekend. This is the the view from the verandah of the house we have rented. Tomorrow, Tash and the boys will arrive in the morning and Todd in the afternoon.

 

Pete and I are down in Dunsborough to visit Mandy and Graeme and celebrate my birthday. We went for a pleasant walk this afternoon to Quininup Falls which is in Wilyabrup, Leeuwin- Naturaliste National Park. The walk is part of the Cape To Cape.

Fabulous sets of waves...
