So - boxing day comes around. Not much sleep had after Christmas Day but still feeling considerably more awake then on the trip down the mountains.
The plan was to leave home at about 09:00 - and I reckon we pretty much managed that. Both kids were awake for the first 30 minutes of the trip and then they suddently went to sleep. Suddenly images of driving straight thru to Canberra emerge.
But not to be. Both kiddies woke up about 15km short of Goulbourn so we pulled into the Southern McDonalds (the one without the play area) and had a short break. 40 minutes later we left McDonalds :-)
We got to Pampars house at about 11:30 and LGR immediately began tucking into the pretzels, and Hayzey became aquainted with the dog via a process of tongue grabbing, hair pulling and nose whacking.
'Lil sister LJ arrived soon after we did and we settled into a nice catchup - pretty good considering it had been less than 24 hours since we last saw each other.
Lunch came and went and, for a change, LGR managed to stay in his seat for a whole meal. Hayzey managed the same; albeit with a good amount of food thrown on the floor.
We spent the afternoon lazing around Pampar's place - some of us sleeping, some eating, some watching TV and others reading. It was nice. Before too long it was late afternoon and a quick walk was had and then into dinner - a nice BBQ cooked by others.
It was a nice day - all that Mrs G and I had to do was control the kids and we mostly managed that. The trip home was also nice. The sun was just setting as we drove past where Lake George should be (but isn't) and we were presented with a very serene and beautiful landscape to drive through as our angels slept in the backseat.
