Hot Air Balloons

 This morning we awoke to the now familiar sound of hot air balloons floating over the house. At this time of the year they are a common morning site in Canberra. This year has been a bit more special as it is our 100th birthday (yay- go our town!) and they have had a special festival on all week. I was thinking we would get up very one morning to see them, but this morning they did us a favour and flew right over our house.

This was the view from our back deck at about 8 am -

 

a few more than 20 balloons flew over

 

Love the speciality balloons

 and everyone's favourite - Darth Vader

 

this photo (not taken by me) is over our National Library - how cool is that????

Anyway, last weekend was Canberra 100th birthday party and we celebrated by leaving and heading off to the coast for a couple of days camping. Perfect weather and we got a site about 20 metres from the beach.  Meaghan spent most of the time in her swimmers, happily posing for the camera. Biased parents think she is gorgeous (and having a 15yoboy who has a crush on you since you were little, trailing after her all weekend, didn't hurt her confidence either..)

Now this started out as a scraplift of Irini's page over at Get Creative -

 

 It went a bit astray but it does have three photos and some black and some arrows. And she was my inspiration so I'll claim it...(the challenge is to scraplift one of the very talented ladies on the DT)

Ok, off to get Henry from tennis now - byeee. xx
