Family reunion
















We left Victor Harbor on Friday and headed up to Adelaide to stay at the Adelaide shores Park, which had a stay for free night (always a bonus when on a budget!) Darren enjoyed speaking at a Men's group on Friday evening.

We enjoyed the park and the pool there, we even had some nice warm days for a change! We went to the National Railway Museum and for a train ride at Semaphore (like Freo). We went to church on the Sunday and then to dinner with some families that Darren had met on Friday evening. It was great fellowship and we were very blessed to meet and encourage some more like minded people.

On Monday we came back to Victor Harbor and then popped back up to Adelaide to pick up Dad and Mum from the airport - great excitement at seeing them and then GREAT EXCITEMENT as Nic and Jen and the boys arrived later on Monday evening. It has been a restful week at Victor Harbor, enjoying the sights and the sunshine. We climbed The Bluff, took a ride on the Horse drawn tram to Granite Island, went out the the mouth of the Murray, visited a Motor Museum and generally the kids had LOTS of fun playing together and enjoying each others company, as we all did. It is sooo nice to see family again and to spend time together.

We are in Adelaide now, we will visit friends, see some sights and will be here till Wednesday when we head out to Waikerie for some time before going on to Jamestown where Dad grew up. We look forward to hearing all the childhood stories from Dad when we go there!

  1. I love you guys!
    I love this blog.
    I know how much you must be looking forward to getting home but the one downside is no more "BirchesaroundOz" stories.
    What a storehouse of fabulous memories you have created for your kids on this trip.

    Love M & C
