Christmas Day 2017

Christmas Day 2017

After our holiday on the Gold Coast we spent Christmas at Mt Mee. We arrived a few days earlier on Saturday, just in time for Christmas celebrations with Belinda’s extended family. It was an early rise as usual on Christmas morning. The kids had fun opening their presents, especially with their new unicorn and dinosaur masks. Remarkably, I was able to capture a rare shot of Emma and Ryan not fighting, and instead hugging each other, which was great to…

It is that time of year again! What time is that, you ask? It is Christmas time! 🙂 Emma & Ryan had their school Christmas concert today. The first video shows Emma’s classroom, 2B, singing the song “Aussie Jingle Bells” in their single, shorts and thongs. Emma was excited to be wearing singlet, shorts and thongs at school. Ryan performed with his classroom, Prep R, the song “Baby Shark”. Both of the kids had fun performing in front of their friends…

Mountaineers vs Thunder

Mountaineers vs Thunder

The Toowoomba Mountaineers had a tough game this week, loosing 57 to 82 against Logan Thunder. Check out the full game above (well most of it). I was having some camera issues so I missed a few minutes at the start. I plan on using my tripod with my Panasonic video camera next week, so hopefully that’ll mean a much better looking video. While my Nikon key mission 170 has some great resolution (although I only used 1080p here then…

Google Photos is awesome!

Google Photos is awesome!

Not only can you backup all your precious memories for free, if you use the high quality setting there is no limit to the number of photos and videos that you can backup. The other great thing is that it is not just a place for backup, but you can edit and share these photos and video very easily. We have been using Google Photos for some time now and it is a service that just keeps getting better and…

Letter to Ben – 09 July 2017

Dear Ben Thanks for your letter. I liked the card you sent. Did you choose that one yourself? It is good to hear that you are doing well at school. It sounds like you are enjoying being back at school. I received a copy of your report card for that semester and was very impressed with how well you are doing. We had a great time while we were on our holiday. Our flight was really good. It was nice…

Turtle Beach Holiday Resort here we come!

Turtle Beach Holiday Resort here we come!

So we just arrived back from New Zealand and it looks like we have caught the holiday bug. We were going to make this Christmas a trip to Phuket, but there is a full moon festival on at the exact time we could go, making the prices far too expensive for us. So we said Phuket, we’ll book in early and make it next Christmas, maybe. So that still left us with a bit of a travel itch and instead…
