Quality Time.....

People often talk about spending quality time together.....but it's not until you are in the situation where your partner works away that you become very aware of making every moment count. Kerry is currently working overseas for the next two years so while he was home over the Christmas period we made the most of every moment and even managed to have a small family holiday in Bunbury which is about a 2 hour drive south of where we live in WA. We planned nothing in advance apart from the motel booking so once we got there we went to the Tourist Bureau and got pamphlets and then each day we decided on what we would like to do. However high on the to do list for Kerry and Kaitlyn was to take advantage of the HUGE spa bath in our motel room!!! It was nothing to have 2-3 spas a day!!! On our last night the three of us were in the spa and I poured a whole bottle of bubble bath into the spa...you can imagine the result....we ended up having a huge bubble fight and by the time we finished it looked as though it had snowed in the bathroom....but it was quality time.....

We did a few 'touristy' thinks such as visiting the Big Swamp Wildlife Park which was pretty awesome especially the walk through averies!! the birds will actually come down onto you and eat from your hands...one of them Kaitlyn named Bossy because he kept trying to scare the other birds off and trying to eat her lackey in her hair!!!

We also visited Donnybrook....an area famous for their fruit and went and walked around the Old Goldfields Orchard and Cider Factory. We got to walk through an apple orchard and view the original mine shaft there...we also spent a LOT of time just sitting by the lakes edge talking and taking photos. Kaitlyn is a budding photographer and she is a quick learner. So much so in fact that she has mastered using our new camers....this is one of her photos........ again it was quality time

Well it's late people so I think I will continue this tomorrow sometime.....
