So yes this is very late but at least you get to know what we have been up to. Getting back to Wagner Lake was nice because it meant we were finally able to have a rest and I really didn't do much of anything for 6 weeks, I have never had such a long holiday it was very nice.
James and Steph were going a bit crazy by the end of summer though and poor Kevin was working pretty hard at TSC (The country Hardware store) he works at.
James went away to a Venturer camp in Northern Ontario where there are a million fresh water lakes, for a week and had a wonderful time. He has really had some great times with the Venturers this year they have done some great camping trips.
We also spent a lot of time on peoples boats on the lake, I skiied, Steph swam a lot and James Wake boarded as much as possible. Wagner Lake is only quite small compared to Lake Macquarie, so it was quite different when out on the water. It was probably their worst summer in years it didn't really get that hot and it rained a lot so summer was a bit of a let down for us.
Kevin had his 40th birthday while here and we had a great cricket party everyone was invited and we had the Canadian team led, by of all people a visiting Englishman, and an Aussie team Captained by Kevin (of course). I made up T-Shirts for everyone to wear in Canadian and Aussie colours and the game started with the Anthems. Then it was on, Canadians played like they were playing baseball, always forgot to take their bats with them and because there were a lot of older players there were a few injuries. Everyone had a wonderful time the day was beautiful and just like any Aussie Cricket match there was plenty of eating and drinking. The Aussie team won of course abley Captained by Kevin and the whole day finished with dancing a bonfire and singing afterwards.
Summer was a wonderful break but after so much time of we were very ready to go back to school.
