The squawkatoos and Kookaburras woke us early almost every morning, and we heard a Koala grunting and snorting around at night. This little King Parrot came looking for a handout one evening.
Spotted on the pathway.

Out and About
We enjoyed some beach and town walks during the week.
The bathing beauties of Lorne.
On the pier.
Beach walk
This next shot is unfiltered and un-Instagrammed. Fire warnings were very high to extreme, and there was some smoke in the air on Friday.
Beachy Good Times
We had some fabulous time on the beach and in the water last week.....sore muscles and bad sunburns aside, everybody enjoyed themselves.
On Friday, we spent the morning body boarding.
Scott watching someone catch a wave in to the beach... and I'm kneeling in the water, about to hold my iPhone over my head the second this wave hits! The water was just gorgeous!! Even the following day, after the cool change came through, and the wind blew at around 21 degrees instead of 35 degrees, it was still glorious to be in the ocean.
Cooling Down
It was so hot in Melbourne that the candles on our deck melted!
....whilst we were splashing around in this:
High Risk Activity
On Ella's birthday, we all went on a bush ride with Blazing Saddles in Aireys Inlet.
It was bloody hot, but we all enjoyed ourselves....
My horse, Leroy.

Nerf Wars
Chaos reigned as we divided into 2 teams on the first evening we were in Lorne. All of us were armed, with primary and secondary weapons... and everyone was prepared to rain down hellfire on the others.
Too Hot!
When it's too hot in the city, head to the coast. Today in Lorne, we spent 5 hours on the beach. In and out of the ocean on
Boogie boards, constructing sand castles, and going for walks.... Glorious.
Now we are comatose and siting under the air conditioner back at our holiday house.

Happy New Year!
New Years Day brunch consisted of scrambled eggs, bacon, sautéed mushrooms and these homemade buns. It was a massive caloric undertaking for first official meal of 2014. I'm still full
Cocoa's First Xmas
Cocoa suffered from a pretty heinous infection in her first week with us, making two trips to the vet in as many days. We were pretty stressed about her. She bounced back though, and was in full puppy mode over Christmas.
When he doesn't feel like playing, he hangs out on top of the BBQ.
She got to meet Jack and Ella's other dog, Charlie for gift opening.... and they had a proper play and chase together.
She's making friends well with Stitches, the cat, who tolerates her and seems to enjoy her company around the place. Here he is supervising her as she digs.
Gingerbread
Ella and I undertook some intense construction work and made this:
Note the excellent and yummy licorice pathway to the front door, and the candy cane/marshmallow trees....both Ella's ideas.
