Sunday afternoon was at Wayne & Joan's land at Laidley for a family BBQ. Lee & Joan were in Toowoomba for the day and came down, we went out after church, Alister came back from camping at 1770, Donald, Lisha and kids were camping there, and Lindsay and Fiona brought their 2 and a half kids out for the afternoon. Campbell and Alec were on the YSA Convention - we figure it must be going pretty well since neither of them were keen enough to leave to come out for the afternoon.
Wayne has built a 'shed' on the land - it's huge, with a bathroom and 2 large rooms, made of a brick that looks sandstone-ish and has fantastic barn doors that he made. Joan and Lisha had decorated the shed with a Christmas Tree, more decorations than I had at home and lots of lights. It was gorgeous and welcoming. A house in similar vein will follow next year. Though I think I would be tempted to live in the shed.
Wayne had also bought a go cart - which apparently had a fair bit of use from big boys and little kids before we got there - then we put on a few more kilometres - heaps of fun - and Roger spent a half hour this morning checking eBay and the Trading Post for similar.
After a couple of practice runs Max got to ride solo - which I think may be one of his lifes highlights so far.
The go cart also had to fixed part way through the afternoon - but if there is a better place to fix a broken go cart - or better people to do it - I can't imagine where it could be.
There was also a big pile of sand which Wayne had ordered and dumped especially for the kids to play in.
The big highlight for the kids was the other kids - all of whom are too cute for words actually.
Donald and Lisha's boys Sam - who looks just like Donald -
Ethan
and Toby.
And Lindsay and Fiona's Ava
and Riley, both of whom Louisa and Max remembered from Tom's farewell party.
