Jason's 40 now...


Dusty birthday Monday arrived & I remembered that red wine doesn't work too well on the recovery process. The boys wanted to climb all over me to give me my present with hugs and kisses which was great, although they seemed much heavier today...

Kim even offered bacon & eggs for breakfast to which we declined, they have done too much already. Plus, jokingly, there was mention of how much our two boys can eat & the fridge was looking VERY bare. Mental note, replace all food the boy vultures ate yesterday.

The boys wanted to go on a tram ride so Kim guided us on the best place to catch one & where  to go in town to see a few things. We went & grabbed Sue & Dale, then had a look around town.

They sure do like their churches, statues & history here & it was as interesting as it gets given the way we were feeling, but you can't not do things just because you are hungover...

Adelaide oval is being revamped, the entire ground is under excavation so that was disappointing, but there was plenty else to see anyway.

After getting Sue & Dale back to the airport, we got back to the house to find roast chook in the oven!!! There was even Black Forest cake with some candles that Ziah had grabbed earlier in the day, special pink ones!!! Very cool.

Another beautiful meal with good company & while I sensed that everyone (particularly Nat) wanted to make sure it was a special day for me and may have thought given we are not at home it wasn't,  the truth is I couldn't have planned for a better couple of days & I really enjoyed it.

So thank you.

Our hosts have certainly made our stay a special one and we appreciate it immensely. The offer was there to stay longer and to be honest it saddens us a little to be leaving, we get on very well and the kids are great together. Ziah certainly learnt what it would be like to have 2 bigger brothers!!!

Some well deserved sleep awaits tonight......

Jase
