Quality time with my parents

My parents are visiting at the moment and I can finally do all the sightseeing things I have been wanting to do with them. We found a nice apartment on the 11th floor in Broadbeach on the Goldcoast where we now all get to enjoy some beautiful autumn days with blue skies and endless beaches. Bliss! This is the view from their balcony. I could sit there for hours and listen to the waves...



Last Monday we celebrated my dad's 70th birthday! Wow! I cannot believe he really hit the 70 mark but he keeps assuring me it is true. We took them to the Outback Spectacular Show for some true Oz spirit. It was great fun.



Craig had to participate in one of the silly competitions and was running through the arena is a little boat with a few other lucky winners. God we laughed so much! It looked so silly! Thankfully the competing team had a little accident and his boat won! HURRAH!



Afterwards we went to a cocktail bar for mojitos. I don't know a lot of people who celebrate into their 70th in a trendy cocktail bar, am very proud of my dad!

Next Sunday my parents will come over to ours and stay with us for a week. Karlheinz has got quite a few projects for garden landscaping and my mum is on a mission to teach me a thing or two about baking. Hee hee. Excellent.

Oh yes and inbetween Craig is working in Canberra and I am doing job interview after job interview so its not all fun and games, in case you were getting too jealous!
