Yes, it was my birthday today and thank you to everyone who sent me messages, emails, cards and pressies. I was very spoilt and loved being with Sal and the family for the day. We had planned to go for a drive and then out for lunch, but on returning from the park office Darren and Geoff reported it was snowing up Mt Buffalo, and so it was on to get ready and get up there as fast as possible.
We were quick to pack up and get in the cars with all our gear and headed up - half way up it started snowing and we were all very excited. Geoff put chains on their car wheels and we put the Patrol into 4WD. It took over an hour to drive the 25km as the snow fall was quite heavy. When we got up it was a white winter wonderland of soft, fluffy new snow. And we spent the next three hours playing, toboganning, making and throwing snowballs, building snowmen, building igloos and then trying to make the biggest ball to roll down the hill as possible.
We couldn't have asked for a better day, it was everything we could've imagined and more and as we went around the table in the evening saying what we were thankful to God for, we had to conclude we were so grateful to God for giving us this most beautiful wonderful part of His awesome creation so we could enjoy it together and all on my birthday, which made it one that we will remember for a long time.
We topped the day off with a lovely dinner out, sitting around a fire with good food and great company, what a day!
