Best Job of All!

Over the Long weekend recently, we ventured off to Adelaide to do the best job in the world, a spot of childminding. Nathan & Julz were off to a friend's wedding. You don't have to ask us twice.

Pa and his little man, Mitchell

Miss Lexie & her Pa

During the weekend we were able to catch up with Izzy & Daryl. They have moved to Adelaide after living in the Alice for 30+ years.

Master Mitchell was the centre of attention with Aunty Izzy & Pa

Uncle Daryl, Lexie & Aunty Izzy

It is that time of the year again. In early March, with the threat of rain, Pa & Matt were determined to get out into the paddocks for some stubble burning. So later in the day & near evening off we headed to give the snails & weeds a hurry up. It really does look spectacular at night & it is easier on the poor old trees. They do not like it too hot!

It does make a fantastic sight.
We even had some sightseers

Bogged and the Boys

We have been waiting all harvest for it to happen. AND it did. Pa got himself in a bit of a mess while doing the Chickpeas. We have had to pull out the trucks a few times so it was just a matter of time for the Header.

I think Pa had some fun doing this!!!

Uncle Matt to the rescue with his trusty Massey!
(it got a lot of towing jobs)

During the last few weeks the grandies have come for some visits. We love those times together cos we get to do some fun stuff & forget about the housework.
