Pt 2 - Day 55 - Vivonne Bay

This morning Glen cooked his Millsteed famous pancakes for the family.  Everyone was very excited as he did a great job given the less than perfect cooking conditions.  All the ingredients but no scales, no measuring cups, lack of utensils!!! 

The weather today was divine.  Not windy and just warm, one of the nicest summer days we have had for a long time.  We head straight down to the beach/river, me with the fishing rod, kids with their boogie boards, Tori with her blow up boat that she got for christmas and smuggled into her suitcase for the flight back!!! and Glen is headed for the waves.  Everyone has a great morning.  Cody, Shannae and I catch some more fish, but we throw them back as they are a bit small.

Not much is required for lunch today.  In the afternoon we go for a drive to the jetty where we go fishing and Glen jumps off the jetty and went for a quick swim.  Not too keen to stay in the water for long, as we had spotted a couple of seals and sharks love them for lunch so it was a quick dip.  The water is such a beautiful colour here.

Later on we start to think about packing up and heading off in the morning.  Shannae spends the remainder of the afternoon on her board in the river and Cody and Tori fight it out in another marathon game of monopoly.  Another pleasant barbi in the camp kitchen and a relatively early night.  However, by early I mean about 10pm.  The kids pretty much go to bed the same time as we do these days, with daylight savings, and we all sleep in until about 8am as the sun doesn't come up until about 7am.  It is bizarre, but as we don't have to be anywhere on any day it doesn't matter to us.  It is really cold at night here, so the kids sleep in their trackies and have all the rugs pulled up!!!!  No summer for us this year!!!
