Adrian's Birthday in Moama

Being in Moama later meant spending Adrian's birthday there. We celebrated by going out to dinner at the Harvest Hotel in Echuca. There were 18 adults and 9 children. Micayla and Bailey's Oma and Opa were there along with Max and Nola (who are the owners of the property we camp on and also the owners of the Emmy Lou, Canberra and Pride of the Murray paddlesteamers). Micayla and Bailey's Aunty, Uncle and cousins, Rochelle, Mark, Keiran and Taylah were able to join us as well. The kids had their own table with pencils and a colouring image on the back of their menus. This kept them busy for ooohh, 5 minutes. Their food was brought out almost immediately so when ours came out an hour and a half later, the kids were running around crazy with boredom. We managed to quieten them down though so we could enjoy our meals. Bailey idolised Keiran and would follow him everywhere, I think Keiran was enjoying being the big cousin. Lucky we were in the company of good friends and family so the hour and a half didn't seem so long, even though we were starving. It's nice to share an event like a birthday with friends and family who care about you.
