STILL HAVIN FUN IN MARGIES

THE SACRIFICES WE MAKE IN THE NAME OF ENTERTAINING OUR CHILDREN......

ITS NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE........I AM IN FACT CONDUCTING AN AMAZING EXPERIMENT . LIGHTING A SPARKLER WITH A MAGNIFYING GLASS IN THE DIRECT SUNLIGHT......DONT TRY THIS AT HOME KIDDIES!!!!!! IT REALLY HURTS ...AND IT DOSN'T BLOODY WORK.

DID KEEP THE KIDZ ENTERTAINED FOR A WHILE THOUGH.....I STILL RECKON IT CAN BE DONE!!!!

TAHLIA-STAR....YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.

WE WENT CAVING ALSO WITH UNCLE DAVE...HE USED TO DO GUIDED TOURS YEARS AGO WHEN THERE WERE NO TRACKS OR STEPS. ADVENTURE IS HIS MIDDLE NAME.  DAVE ADVENTURE COATES!!!!MOVE OVER THE SOLO MAN. UNCLE DAVE HAS DONE IT ALL...ABSAILING, KIAKING...AND HEAPS OF OTHER TOUGH SHIT.

SO WHEN WE GET DOWN IN THE HEART OF THE CAVE IN WHAT THEY CALL THE BALLROOM......WE PLAY THE COOLEST GAME.   WE ALL GO TO THE SIDE OF THE CAVE AND PUT OUR TORCHES DOWN EXCEPT ONE. THEN WE ALL GO TO THE MIDDLE OF THE BALLROOM WITH OUR ONE TORCH. NEXT THE TORCH GOES OFF AND YOU HAVE TO FIND YOUR WAY BACK TO THE SIDE OF THE CAVE WHERE YOUR TORCH IS...HAHAHAH IT WAS SO SCARY AND FUN ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

JUST ONE OF THE MANY VINEYARDS WE VISITED AND DID WINE TASTING AT WHILE IN MARGIES. WHEN IN ROME......

THE FOOD WASN'T TOO BAD EITHER.

ABALONE ANYONE???? WAS THE FIRST TIME WE HAD EVER TASTED IT AND OMG...GOOD FRIENDS HAD A LICENSE SO WE PERFECTED IT THREE WAYS.....GARLIC BUTTER...CHILLI N HERB CRUMBED WITH A DRIZZLE OF LEMON JUICE....AND THAI MARINADE.

OH YEAH ......AND THE CRAYFISH. WELL...WHAT CAN I SAY...JUST HOW MUCH CRAYFISH CAN YOU EAT???? AS MUCH AS YOU WANT. SPOILT ROTTEN CAUSE I LOVE IT.
