Bonfire at the Woodfords

After the father and son campout, the boys meet us girls at the Woodford's for some horseback riding, bonfire with a delicious lamb, and a horse poo fight.

This was no ordinary bonfire, it was more like a wildfire.

Spencer sitting on Millie.

Penny trying to save her cat from Liam.

Isn't that the cutest thing ever?

Melanie riding Millie an Australian Brumbie. They bought her as wild horse when she was young from Northern Queensland.

Liam preparing for a launch of horse poo...Willy wants me to say "Horse Shit" but I'm not going to.

Spencer says "Mine's bigger"

Liam sure looks like he having fun.

Bye now, thanks for coming.

Mom and Maeby making sand castles.

Ahhh, this one surprised us.

Run away, run away!

Just out for a stroll.

When the sun was out, it was beautiful, and the water took on this deep sandy blue color.

Waiting for the big one to come crashing in.

Spencer outrunning the waves

Melanie having a great time in the water. 

Liam running like Dash on the water, it took a special high speed digital camera to capture this still shot of him with such clarity.

We could see a storm way up in the north hitting the coast, it was amazing looking.

We pretty much had the whole beach to ourselves, it was so cool. Probably because it is winter here in Australia and a bit chilly in the water.

This turned out really cute

Spencer loved the beach day.

Can't see it too well, but Liam is practicing his boomerang while Spencer is trying not to fall down the hill.

Unfortunately its a backless boomerang for now. Looks like he will need some more practice.
