Pt 2 - Day 44 - RAAF Museum

This morning we awoke to another glorious day.  The sun is shining, it is going to be warm, but we are so glad to have some beach weather as it is so accessible here.  Today Glen is heading back to Point Cook where there is a RAAF museum and they just happen to be having a their annual exhibition on today.  Perfect timing as we are in reach of it. 

So before Glen leaves I decide that it is time we got the kids some new boards.  I zoom down the street while I still have the car.  It is Sunday morning and the main street is abuzz with people having Sunday coffees and bacon and eggs.  To my surprise, two out of the 4 surf shops are open for business.  I make a deal with the local surfshop owner who is very keen to sell me three boards and gives me an awesome price in the process, and I head back to the van bearing gifts. I am greeted with much excited when Cody realises what I have in the car and I receive the "mother of the year" award for my efforts!!!!  The kids are stoked as they just love boogie boarding so we are set for the day.

Glen heads off to the RAAF, very excited but it is warming up quickly.  He is just in his element here.  There are so many old war planes on display and between 1 and 4pm they include an aerobatics display.  He comes home full of excitement about all that he has seen and shares all the photos he has taken.  His Dad would have just loved it also.  Sitting outside the van in the afternoon we actually see a couple of planes fly over, obviously heading home for the day.

 

The kids and I have a great day at the beach.  It is a really good beach as it just has steady waves rolling in.  It is quite shallow for a long way out but the kids are still able to catch some great rides on their new boards.  They have a blast.  We head home for a late lunch and chill in the van out of the heat.

The sunny day soon turns overcast and by 6:30pm we are sheltered in the annexe listening to the thunder and having to yell at each other across the table in order to be heard over the rain!!!!!  So much for our nice weather!!!!  It continues for most of the night and our beautiful grassed oasis is transformed into a slush pit!!! We pull out the tracksuit pants and jumpers yet again!!!!
