Cobar Sign
We had a fabulous weekend in Cobar. Visiting with friends, talking, laughing and watching the kids. It broke my heart to watch all five kids that grew up together for almost 4 years cry and and pout that they couldn't stay together for longer. I think there is going to be a lot of driving to see each other.

Green Crops
When we last lived in Australia there had been a long drought. Coming back it is just amazing to see all the green crops growing. A little red dirt thrown in but mostly vast green crops for as far as the eye can see.

Got to Parkes on Wednesday and then headed on the road to Cobar about 3 and a half hours down the road. We stopped in Trangie for a run around and a meat pie.

A little Taste of Parkes, NSW
I drove up the highest place in Parkes, and took this photo of the landscape. Not the greatest shot but a little taste for everyone that has been very, very curious.

Out in Under 3 Minutes
Got on the plane at 11:45pm. Owen was given a drink and a chocolate. Seat belt buckled and take off. He was asleep before the wheels were fully back into the plane. First class..... all I can say is the kids slept so much longer then they have ever done before. Food..... well..

A day of Waiting and Waiting
So our flight started off an hour late. Then 6 hours waiting in Vancouver before flying out to Sydney Australia. A very long long day.

Outakes
Visiting my favourite Kamloops farm before heading out of Kamloops. I snapped this too early and missed the eyeballs. He came running to me after being under the tractor and forage harvester that was being repaired.

Hotel Waterslides
Thank god for hotel waterslides when you are in the middle of a move. This little number has been saving us when we have no house to go to, no toys, and no school.

Touring with the Pether's
Miss this family. It was so nice for everyone to get together and just do what we do while visiting with them. Kids playing and adults being able to talk in peace. Bliss.

Do you Remember the Beachcombers?
I remember watching the Beachcombers. A Canadian show. The longest running one from 1972 to 1990 and it was filmed in Gibons BC. Where we were exploring today. Had dinner at Molly's Reach one of the restaurants filmed for the show. Which is one of the oldest buildings in the area. It was built around 1903 area. We had the best ice cream here too. Lots of fun.

Day 6 - New Denver, Rosebery, and Evening
Lost of driving today. Winding roads, slow going, ferry crossings, viewing the water. Pleasant surprise a gorgeous Mexican Restaurant in Rosebery. We were all very happy after that meal. Off on one last 30 minute drive to a campground and marshmallows under the full moon.
