Our new pool!

After much house-hunting, and months of open homes trying to sell our place, we now own a new house in Aspley. Our current house in Bald Hills is under contract (finally!), and we are set to move in about a week and a half after doing a few reno's on the new place. Yesterday afternoon, we took the opportunity to go to the new house and try out the pool. As you can see, the three fish of the family L-O-V-E it! (Well, the Big Fish would probably prefer things if he wasn't also playing the part of the Little Fishes' amusement centre for most of the time!)

Alex Heads weekend...

We took the opportunity a couple of weekends ago to get away for a short break before we get too heavily involved in the throes of moving. We found a unit at Alex Heads, and spent Saturday enjoying Mooloolooba and the nearby beaches on the headlands of Alex.

I picked up one of Aldi's cheap kites they had for sale about a month ago, and so we gave it its furst run - or should I say flight - on Saturday afternoon. Although the weather was beautifully sunny on Saturday, it was also quite windy and cold - perfect weather for the kite. Despite a few crashes onto the beach, nearby trees, and into the water, we got some good flight out of it, and shall give it another go when we take our holiday down the coast in December.

As I said, the wind made things rather chilly, but kids being kids, Liam and Beth still wanted to go swimming in the ocean to use their boogie boards (which they call surf boards!). Prior to this shot being taken, we had jumpers on! It didn't take long for the goosebumps to appear.
