Short trip away with van club and a 70th and 60th

Hello my family and friends......a short trip away over the weekend to a place not far from where we live.....Bairnsdale 

We were booked in at one of the local van parks by the caravan club, we are currently members of...and 2 special birthdays (also the clubs 20th)

Each evening, much to my delight, Bats flew over, and someone reckoned 990 lol  Also we had a massive lightning/thunder show and mega rain......

Now we had a lovely lady turning 70 and she wanted to celebrate with the van club and Paul (my man) turning 60 also wanted to help pay for this.....so heaps of cold chickens cut up from a great local shop ReefRoast and those chickens were super tender....

The theme colour for the day was Pink as this was the birthday lady's favourite colour

My camera started steaming up from the humidity as we had mega rain then sunshine.....Oh what is Paul wearing......

Last pick taken under the tent canopy too steamed up.....

Ah yes a hula type skirt for his 60th birthday lol 

Some of the caravan club friends....

Hubby and wife in their pink clothes too

Plenty of little pink decorations.....

This lady has the same name as me ☺☺

We also supplied some champagne....also non alcoholic too

And a selection of soft drink and juice ☺

The pink theme sure was popular ☺

This fun man even wore a pink bathing suit lol 

The birthday girl getting a hug ♥

Yep even pink wigs....such a fun time

Tucking into the chicken

Relaxing and enjoying the sunshine.....

A pink feather in his cap lol 

A few more photo's taken

Thank goodness the rain stayed away for a couple of hours.....

I enjoy hanging out with this lady, lots of fun ☺☺

Deep in discussion lol 

And one of the ladies made this cake, and it looked fabulous and very tasty ♥

Keeping cool and dry under the awnings......

And yes, this is what I wore over my special batman t-shirt lol.....I was roasting with that feather boa around my neck so later just tied it around my waist.....the mask was hot too, but enjoyed wearing it ☺

Well that was a fun weekend with HEAPS of rain which you did not see as we were blessed with perfect weather for about 4 hrs......☺

Take care and may your days be bright ☺

Test post on tablet

Hello now this is a quick post test on my samsung tablet......I made this top by tracing off from another favourite top with a bit extra room for this old body lol

And look the man shaved off his goatee.....see you all again soonxoxo

Skyline Gondola, madman on the Luge and more lovely views in nz south island

Yes I am back again ☺  Yesterday started a little cloudy but still good weather. This mountain in not like your Mt Hood (Gracie and Teresa ☺☺) but there is a heaps of snow here in the cooler months.

We had booked ourselves a lunch up at Skyline which meant we were going to ride the Gondola. We have done this before but I did not have my blog then, just used to annoy family and friends with mega emails lol 

The man enjoying the start of the ride ☺

My view down as we speed up.

Looking up towards where we were headed

Very high/steep but wonderful views.

My selfie looking a little apprehensive lol 

Up the top outside on the viewing deck area

Good shot of the lake

Legend of the lake

A speck in the water to the right

Zoomed in and it was the SS Earnslaw steam boat. 

Wonderful view while we had our lunch ☺☺

Yes that is the man up there....he decided after lunch he would have 3 trips riding the luge

Here he comes lol 

Racing away 

Look at that cornering lol  He had a good fun

Then in the afternoon took a drive up to here.

A very large ski area

With amazing views and must say it was a little chilly up here

Oh and every day this black cat appears across the road from our lounge window so had to zoom in to catch a good shot. I had to bang on the window to make it look over lol.

Today is raining so may just have a quiet day with a meal out in the evening if the rain stops.

How is it where you are?

Love to you all xoxoxo
