We have been away

On Friday, at some unmentionable time in the morning, I woke the smalls and bundled them into the car so we could make our way to the airport.  We were off to North Queensland for my Nana's 80th Birthday Party!  It takes two aeroplanes and about six hours to get there, but it was so worth it.  We left Soldier at home, because it was ANZAC day weekend and he had to work.

My Nana is a wonderful lady.  She raised five children on her own in the sixties after my Grandfather died when my Mum was five.  Four of her five children, twelve of her sixteen grandchildren and fourteen of her twenty-two great-grandchildren (with three of the four more on the way), were at the party.  It was a little crazy, at one point there were six kids between twelve months and two years, but it was the most fun I have had in a long time. 

I wish I could say the same for the flights on the way home.  I was running on little to no sleep and so were the kids, and we all know that cranky, sleep deprived smalls and aeroplanes do not mix well.

I have no photos, not because I didn't bring my camera, but because I left the memory card in the computer.  I am hoping that someone got some good ones.
