A week in Ulladulla ~

 
Heya! We're now back from an i n c r e d i b l e week away in Ulladulla.....which is down the road from Yatte Yattah, Bombo and Wollongong :)
 
 
Some Ulladulla sea creatures.....
 
 
As I said a few posts back God has organised these school holidays for us far better than we ever could!!
 
 
Mammie & Pa were with us too...the timing was PERFECT ~
Mum and Dad came over to Australia from NZ for work stuff, but it just so happened they were in Sydney the exact weekend of my birthday, and then put up at a gorgeous beach house on Mollymook Beach with the invite for the kids and I to join them too!!

Scrabble challenges with Pa...

Miss E's friend Robz was with us as well while her parents were overseas.
 
One dilemma I have at the moment though is once my 4 kids are in the car there's no room (legally) for anyone else.....so thankfully Jon (the son of our family friends) was heading down the same time and able to drive the girls. I think he survived :) they're pretty entertaining!!
 
They named his car 'Haggis' and are still singing a song he played in the car; "This relationships built on breakfast"
 
We celebrated Jon's birthday with all the families later on in the week at 'The Beach Hut' and then back to our place for birthday cake, card, and punches...
 
 
Miss E and Robz headed back to Sydney the next day for 'Encounter' youth conference >>> BP (the kids Dad) rang me when they arrived and asked why I put the girls on the train in their pajamas.....Haha I didn't!!!
Funny things :) I like the picture they took of the lady fast asleep on the train too....
 
 
We ended up wanting to go to the Conference Mum and Dad were speaking at in Ulladulla....their messages about dreaming, finding your voice through giving, and discovering what makes your soul sing, exactly what I needed.
 
Given the option the boy's were super keen to be at the Conference too, they didn't want to leave... the church in Ulladulla like family! We were totally blessed outta our socks by them all, literally, J lovin the bare-feet to church culture they have down there.
 
Thank-you God for such a brilliant time away time away!!! I love how you think of everything x
