And so it begins, the rain started beating down on us the moment we hit the holiday house. The car ride to Mornington made us hopeful for OK weather but Mother Nature's twisted humour drowned out our hopes of a fun weekend outside. We spent that first evening indoors eating Kentucky Fried Chicken and playing Cranium (which, by the way, the girls (and Desmond)won all four rounds... woohoo!!) and other games.
The next morning, Jem made his famous pancakes for breakfast for us all and we prepared to go horse-riding that afternoon. Again, the rains gave us not a chance. Horse-riding was cancelled and we spent that afternoon shopping at Target.. or was it Kmart? SIGH. And after the shops closed, it was more rain, more games at home and La Porchetta dinner.
Fishing was still on for the last morning (thank goodness) and we headed off pretty excited. However, again the cold winds and rains made our trip less pleasant and we were all left shivering - this made it quite tricky to determine if there was a bite or not! Haha! Poor Gie had the misfortune of being biten by a flathead that got away from the couple-next-to-her's basket. %$#@^&!! It stung like a bee (I'd imagine) and swelled abit. But nothing's gonna stop Gie from catching more of 'em! Just that she would dodge them quickly whenever someone caught one! Everyone did pretty well that trip with SaiBee catching the biggest flathead and Gie's proud of the salmon she got! At least the fish we caught made it worth our while!
The crazy bunch
Fish to take back home.
Nice shot from the pier.
