Little Brother Visits

and so does Mum and Dad

and a cousin!

A couple of weeks back, I was very

excited to get a visit from my 'little' brother!

All the way from Brisbane!

He had never visited us here in the Territory

and he was only here for 2 nights, so we tried

to make the most of the time we had.

We did some sight seeing out at Katherine Gorge,

a selfie on the Katherine River Railway Bridge,

Youth group on Friday night,

Markets and coffee on Saturday,

Teen youth group on Saturday avo

and lots of fun family time playing pool,

telling jokes and reminiscing.

And that's Jer up there doing the YMCA chant

Pretty trippy light play??

I cherish any time I get to spend with my siblings

and mum and dad, as we're so far from anywhere.

It was great to have that special time.

Then, right after Jer's visit,

we were again blessed to have

my parents and niece

visit for a week.

We tried, to no avail, to let mum and dad rest

and not do too much, but alas. They won't sit still!

Grandpa won many rounds

of pool and I think Grandma even

did too! We did ALL the op shops (without Grandpa)

and enjoyed family time. Grandpa worked with Dave

some and they got some projects

around the house done too.

We were even able to have a baby

shower for Abbi

while they were here.

The girls really enjoyed having

their cousin to stay up late

and chat with, sitting out on the

tray of the ute staring up at

the stars ✩ and listening to the

neighbourhood sounds. Hmm.

Sorry, India, that we couldn't go camping.

Maybe next time. ⛺
