HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!

Hello to all the folks back home. We hope you are all enjoying your Australia Day holiday. Australia is such a privileged country. We celebrated Australia Day on Saturday. We took our Australian flags and went out for tea. I was so excited to hear Men At Work "Land Down Under" playing on the radio. It made the day just right. We went to the King Coconut (restaurant) where you can get a table down on the beach. It was a beautiful evening and many people were down enjoying the beach. While we waited for our meals the boys ran around on the beach with their flags and then we set off firecrackers (or more accurately, Prince set off fire crackers for us). When it got a bit darker, we pulled out some glow sticks and gave them to the boys and to nearby children. The kids then ran around on the beach some more until it was time to go home. All in all, a most enjoyable way to celebrate our wonderful country.
