Bali Holiday in Luxury!!

The Thomases decided to go to Bali. And we decided to do it in style (mostly because we got a killer deal on a fancy pants hotel). Now fancy pants hotels aren't normally our cup of tea, mostly because everything at fancy pants hotels costs so bloody much, but the idea of a kid's club with a rock wall and water slide and a beautiful private beach just sounded so appealing. The funny thing is that the kids really didn't like going to the kid's club, and the only time we actually stepped foot in the ocean on our private beach, I nearly got my foot broken by a large piece of wood that came torpedoing at us.

Despite this, we all had a great time. The swimming pools were awesome. The room was gorgeous. And the daily free breakfast buffet kept us full nearly until dinner. Just have a look at this place!









Just down the road from the hotel, we discovered this lovely little beach restaurant. We explored the beach and had a super time laying around in their lounge chairs enjoying cocktails and smoothies that we could actually afford.



And, we were super lucky that my friend Shaye and her family were also in Nusa Dua so we all caught up for dinner at the awesome Pirate's Bay Restaurant. Ollie and Barbud and Elliot had heaps of fun exploring all the pirate ships and tree houses and the adults enjoyed trying out the cocktails.

Footy boys

Another season another sport to try. And this season the boys decided to try Australian Rules Football on the Roleystone Tigers. I wasn't too sure about football because the vibe of this sport is pretty aggressive, but I have to say that so far, the club and those involved were the nicest and most organised of any of the many sports the boys have tried so far. Elliot and Oliver had a great time too!

Farm Trip with Dad

How lucky am I that Dad got to come with me and my class as we visited the local Kelmscott High Farm. We got to see the pigs and chicks and the milking cow, but you couldn't get me near the rabbits! ~ Elliot

The boys' creations

The boys were pretty keen to get their photos taken with their latest craft creations the other morning. So here they are. They're quite proud of their creations, but I'm way more proud of my two creations. Love these boys!

Big Boy Undies

I've been working super hard to control my anger so that I could score myself some big boy jocks and undershirts. How. Cool. Do. I. Look?!? ~ Ollie

Guacamole Cream

Consider yourself extremely lucky that I'm sharing my culinary invention: Guacamole Cream. It's avocado, sour cream, salt, pepper, and lime juice, and it's utterly delicious. I whipped it up for the family for burger night, and they just couldn't get enough. ~ Elliot

Lesmurdie Falls

Just another day exploring our magic corner of the world. This time we explored Lesmurdie Falls. We walked the trail down, but decided to "rock climb" back up. The boys loved it, and we can't wait to come back again.
