Straddie!

We were lucky to be able to go to Straddie for a quick weekend trip with all of Michael's family before Justin went back to Canada.  Although we had cyclonic weather the day we arrived, Straddie put on some nice weather for us the next day.  The girls were so excited to be here and were eager to get to the beach.  It was a bit windy but we managed to get away from it at Frenchman's.

My Beach Girls...

The boys...Michael, Rick, Justin and Nate.  I had to laugh at Nate when he came back in from 'spear fishing' with Rick and Justin!  In his words "the water was all choppy and you couldn't see anything, and  all I could see was Rick and Justin waving their spears around,doing it for the first time and I thought nuh! I'm getting out of here!"  Smart move Nate!

I mean, would you trust that fella second from the left?  Haha!

Getting ready to head home for lunch, Milla was the lucky one and got a piggy back, even all the way up those taxing stairs at Frenchies (poor Steve!)  But it was all too much for her, she was gone just after we started walking back!

Ella 'on top of the world!!'...at Main Beach

Because our accommodation was paid for by the wonderful Lyn and Steve, we were asked to put on a dinner for everyone one night.  So in true Straddie style, we had local seafood...including salt and pepper squid, huge prawns, crab, scallops and salad!  Yummo!

And I put this up, just cause she's so cute!!

 When Michael took the girls down to the beach one afternoon, he captured this awesome pic... I love it!!

This is another favourite...Steve captured this one when they took the girls for a walk one morning.

Sunday was another beautiful day and this time we went to Cylinder Beach. 

One...two...three...

Weeeee!....Jumping waves with Mama Lyn.

Oh Straddie, what would we do without thee!
