a four day weekend only arrives once a year so that means you need to make the most of it! we planned on heading up to the alpine region however the weather looked a bit grim so at the last minute, we headed west instead towards apollo bay.
heading off on good friday with no provisions wasn't the best start to the weekend as most of the groceries stores were closed. we ended up buying eggs, bread and bacon and making sandwiches for dinner... our other flaw was the last time we used the tent, we broke a pole and we'd forgotten to replace it... oops!! luckily, we managed to improvise and provided it didn't blow a gale, we were going to be snug as a bug!
we spent the weekend hiking to see some waterfalls - the triplets and beauchamp, checking out a market and pier area in apollo bay and eating delicious fish and chips, before packing ourselves back in the station wagon to come home. we arrived home sunday evening, in anticipation of painting the ceiling in the living room on monday. once we finished painting, we started drilling holes in the ceiling to hang the down lights only to discover some impediments so we've had to patch and will need to repaint one of the spots :( we were both a bit disappointed as it was a lot of work getting it finished...

other than our holidays, we've been quite busy with other things! i've booked flights back to canada and france in october, we took hannah for an introductory trapeze lesson and both kids to an escape/puzzle room, we've been to a few birthday dinners/drinks and a wedding (which we arrived at the same time as the bride) - it's been a great first three months of the year!
wishing everyone in the northern hemisphere a happy spring - the weather's certainly changing in australia!
hugs,
