First item of business... BEKAH IS BACK!

After a semester of study at Adelaide University, my darling sister Bek has returned home for a visit. To add to the excitement, she brought with her our much loved QLD cousins Amber-lee and Adam Woolley!

We had a lot of late nights and a lot of laughs!

But the highlight was by far the snow trip!

On Sunday, in Deloraine, it snowed! Like fluffy white freezing snow. So on Monday 11th July, we went up to the Great Lakes to see the snow.

On the way up we came across this:

As we got closer to the top, we cautiously drove over snow covered road...

But at only 400m from the lakes we HAD to stop because of this:

[Yes, that is thick ice covering that road!]

We didn't have snow chains and we were in a front-wheel drive. We weren't even going to attempt driving on THAT!

So we parked and began the fun!

Of course there were snow ball fights...

...and full blow assaults...!

We walked about 200m up the very icy road to venture to the lookout... THAT was an adventure in itself!

[First we had to walk through canopies of bush]

[And you never know when those canopies will shower you in snow!]

[Then we had to climb VERY slippery stairs]

[But we finally made it to the top of the lookout!]

[and we also found some yellow snow up there... And yes, that really is pee!]

Speaking of coloured snow... We also had a great time making REAL snow cones!

And, naturally, we did TONS of slipping and sliding down the thickly iced road:

And, there was some people-taboganning!

So much funny stuff happened, but I really couldn't blog it all (takes waaaaay too long!)

All in all, we had an awesome day!
