A Trip To Glen Huon

On Friday afternoon about 2-ish we decided to go to Glen Huon for the long weekend. So while Jared was finishing at work I washed and dried all the clothes and got us ready as quickly as possible. I was so glad I'd done the house work that morning and the dishes were all done!
So about half past 3 we got away - only to be stopped at the very same police check as LISA! ONLY our car - unlike Nans - wasn't quite up to scratch - got in trouble for the muffler having a hole and a slightly smooth outer tyre (Jared was CRANKY!) ANYWHO! We luckily didn't get a fine - just a defect notice telling us to repair the problems in two weeks or our rego could be cancelled. There were HEAPS of Police and transport officers there -we even saw Simon Triffitt ( he had on some lovely blue gloves!)

SO we finally got going again (with a pretty cranky husband and Children who had WOKEN grrr and only went to sleep at Hobart!) We got out at Campbell town for them to run around and have some dinner. Then we stopped again at St Peters Pass so by the time we got to mums it was after 9 PM!! nearly 6 hours in the car! The kids were really good as usual though!

On Saturday we went to Salamanca Market - it was Soooooooooooooo HOT and Kels was really quiet and scared the whole time.(No wonder she was scared - this is the view she had most the day!!)

Eamon loved all the people but got sick of being confined to the pram. I found a ten dollar neclace that I loved but may alter - and Jared got some rock candy. That was about all our ourchases though i could have spent hours on my own and hundreds on goodies!



On Sunday we headed after church to Emma and Joels place at sandfly. They have a 20 acre secluded bush block. Their house is right on the edge of a 50m cliff over looking some river.

Emma and Joel

We all went down (Aunty Wendy, Uncle Rob, Zach, Seb, Annie, Em, Joel Tess and Hazel and US) the cliff to the river it has an AMAZING water hole one of the calmest and best i've seen. Emmas girls are so confident and natural in the water.

Our water baby!

Saturday night we all had tea at mums. She made her fabulous Lasagne (sorry all you fab cooks im sure yours is nice but it would never be this good!!!!) I'm slowly trying to do it the same...not there yet!! Lisa and Stan Halle and Archie came as did Jess Tyler James and Amy.

Eamon (13 months) Nana (56!!!) and Archie (7 Months)

Unfortunatley Jarod Liam and Ella were at their nans so Kels was fairly disappointed! Lisa made a choc cake to celebrate mums birthday and the girls loved it singing happy birthday and blowing out the candles!

After The dinner we left the children (one sleeping the other hyper) with their nan and headed to Andrew's and Donna's where Andrew gave Jared a "practice" massage - he was really good and we had a great night! Was so good to go down - and I am slowly warming Jared up to the idea of living there ( it used to be a flat out NEVER!) Would LOVE my kids to grow up in Glen Huon.

Glen Huon is beautiful - I think it would be a lovely place to grow up, but you can't move away :( At least it's still in Tassie and you can just jump in the car and visit.

What a bummer about the police check thing. Guess they are just doing their job though. The cop we had was checking the boys were all buckled in okay.

Was wondering why you weren't replying to your emails so fast :)
