"THEY LIKE IT BOTH WAYS".........................

Well here goes with another update, and I hope I remember what has been going on the last couple of weeks, as it can become a blur at our age................

Last weekend, not the one just gone but the one before we had Jo and John fly in for a visit to the "outback".  They had a 2 hour delay which did not start their weekend off well, but I am sure they made up for lost time when they got here.  I darted out of work on the Saturday to pick them up and they had the arvo to do a bit of a drive around.  Sunday we worked so they were left to their own thing and did all the touristy things - doing the rock both ways!!!!!!!!!
Sunday night we had a night out at the "Outie" with a bbq tea and a bit of a dance.  We never stopped laughing the whole weekend - you know how it is - a simple comment turns into something major and the double meanings flowed.................
Monday saw us doing the Walpa Gorge walk at Kata Tjuta and into town for a quick lunch before we took John to see the stuffed animal display.  Monday night was Sounds of Silence Night, which is our third time, and I must say disappointing this time - the food was not up to par which is a shame when you take your guests to such a special place.  It was Janas birthday on the saturday so we all went together with Candices mum and dad Sharon and Geoff and had a great night.  We got the "special" bus home as none of us were capable of the drive home that is for sure.  The poor driver certainly earned his money that night as we were a rowdy lot.

It seemed to be the theme of the weekend really, that if there was noise - laughter - being hugely silly - it would be our group.  Is that a surprise!!!!!!!!!!!

We have this area at our van spot called "one tree" and John and Tone would go over there and try and solve any world problems - notice any change? NO!!  Firstly John thought Tone was taking him to meet a "local" called one tree not literally a one tree LOL LOL.

Tuesday morning was getting  up at 5.15am to do the sunrise camel ride - which was fantastic!!!!  As you will see from the photos its just amazing - something I would do again!!!

Sadly the time came for us to drop Jo and John at the airport and we hope they had a good time as we had a great time showing them our little bit of paradise here in the middle of Australia.

John is full of one liners but the best for the weekend is...............

If you keep doing what you've already done you will get what you've already got!

We have had another week fly by at work - so busy on the weekend with heaps of school kids on tour - ran out of hot chips, coke, ice creams, chocolates and the odd souvenir......

Enjoy the pics,
Love and miss you all
