House Reno - Brisbane

Early April, Matt commissioned his parents to help scrub, scrape, wash, sander and paint his house in Brisbane so he could put it up for sale. We all set off for Brisbane with the task in mind and had some fun on the way with the Grandies. 
We stopped in Swan Hill for brekkie and a play in the park and then set off again.

 Lunch was another couple of hours along the track where we stopped alongside some other travellers in the park bay.

 The trailer was a good spot for the girls to have their lunch

 Onward we went and the next day we made it to Goondiwindi in time for lunch

 Jack found a nice big tree to climb 

Later in the avo Kara and the children left us and ventured on up to the Olsen Farm at Wondoan to catch up with all of the family. We continued on to Brisbane. Over the next couple of days we washed, scrubbed, filled, sandered and painted the inside and out of the house. 
Pa is one who would not like an opportunity to pass by with out making the most of it. So he invited Jill, Clarrie, Daryl and Izzy over to help out. And that they did by bringing their wheel barrow, whipper snipper and other gardening tools. He put everyone to work and in no time the garden was looking ship shape.

 Matt and Clarrie surveying the completed job and appear well pleased!

Thanks to all for your help and for the great catch up.

We attended the Henry Fulton School  Award Ceremony for their recent Swimming Carnival. La received 4 awards from the Carnival. Well Done!  We were also able to watch the school's cross country event, go with Leyla to Playgroup, go to Yoghurt Land, to many parks and playgrounds, out for the occasional meal, watch La do her Gymnastic Carnival and go to the Rugby League Panthers v Broncos match.

Relle and Sami took us to watch the Panthers play the Broncos at the Stadium and we were entertained by a thrilling and close game. Panthers won by a point!!

After all of Pa's detailing of the car it looks like new. Perhaps we don't need another car just yet!
Thanks Relle, Sami, La & Leyla for the wonderful time we had. Can't wait for our  next visit. See you soon.
