Long Weekend at Loch Sport

Went with Scott and Tania Graham to their holiday house in Loch Sport along with Julie and Marty Peters over the Queens Birthday long weekend. We took the kids mini motorbikes and the new fishing rods. Micayla and Bailey had never fished before. Between us all there were 7 kids. We took the kids out on the bikes first after riding around the property. They kept falling off when they ran into a tree root. We had to rug up with beanies and gloves etc, but not because it was cold. The mossies were the size of bees and when you stood still they swarmed like flies. They only part of me exposed were my eyes and nose and I was hot. When my hands were still filming the mossies swarmed and bit my hands, but they didn't actually itch. None of us that were bitten itched. Couldn't stand it though and left to go fishing. As soon as we got there Brandon got a hook stuck in his finger. The kids were having fun for about ohhhh 10 minutes and then ran around as 7 kids do. So much for catching fish, they scared everyone else around us away too. They went and played on the beach, rolling down the sandhills.

At night we couldn't wait for peace and quite and sent the kids to bed ASAP. We just sat around chatting, eating and drinking in the nice warm cosy house. It was a very relaxing weekend. Sunday, us girls wanted some peace so we sent the boys out with the kids on the bikes again and we had coffee, chocolate and played UNO. Went out to dinner that evening, who could be bothered cooking again. Thanks to Scott and Tania for giving us the opportunity to stay in the Graham holiday house.
