Bluey

Those who thought Mum, Dad and Jacqui were the only residents here are wrong... You forgot about 'Bluey'.

He lives between the clothesline and the pool in a leafy, ferny garden bed.

And he comes out to soak up the sun...

He let us get pretty close yesterday! James was even within a metre of him!

But then he decided it was home time...

Fishy, fishy, fishy...

Ever since we've been coming to Coffs Harbour, Matt has said he'd love to go out into the ocean and go fishing.

So under the Christmas tree on Christmas Day were 2 vouchers for a deep sea fishing adventure for Dad and Matt.

They were booked in for Tuesday, the excitement was building... And then, at 7pm Monday night the skipper rang and canceled the trip due to the forecast 25knot winds and driving rain. And he delivered the final blow when advising us that there were no spaces available to take the trip before Matt returns home on the weekend.

2 sad men...

But, on a bit of a mission, Matt and I stayed in contact with the fella, hoping for someone else to cancel and had a huge stroke of luck when we made contact Tuesday afternoon to be told a group of 4 had just called and pulled out of Thursday's trip so Matt and Dad were booked in and ready to go!!!!!!




Waiting waiting... Anticipation building...




On board and ready to go...

"Bye Daddy, Bye Grandpa!!"


That's them to the left of the rocks at the mouth of the harbour...

And in the middle of the ocean (below the bird)


And they were gone from 7:30am til 1:30pm...



Weary fisherman arriving home...

And did they catch anything, you ask?

Yep, one... One little snapper!!!!


Fishy, fishy, fishy...

Sometimes a change is good on a holiday...

Not exactly how the saying goes I know but these two were pretty happy to change places for lunch one day. James loved being in Lucy's chair, and Lucy's happy anywhere!!!!


And our little outdoor man likes a bit of personal space in his tee-pee!!!!

The Butterfly House

A magic little place, 20 minutes down the road. "Wow" is all I need to say...

















How to make baby butterflies...



And the maze... Now that was fun!!!







We found the middle, YAY!!!!!


Come on Daddy...


You did it!!!
