Day 284 Mandurah

Greetings from Mandurah! 

After a long trip, which included getting stuck in traffic, stopping not once, but twice on the side of the highway for kiddies that needed a toilet stop and then a nappy change.. we finally arrived. 

Wow what a day.  My parents surprised us with a boat cruise along the canals! What a treat! It was a gorgeous day for a cruise, enjoying the breeze and the sunshine, taking in all the views...






Dad took these 2 pics, I'll have to re post when I can get the pictures at normal size as I think they are gorgeous captures of Mum and Jacob....





I gave Sam a packet of chips, and said he needed to share them with everyone. Everyone meaning Jacob, Mum and Dad who he was standing next to. Next thing I know, Sam disappears and I find him asking all the passengers on the boat if they want some chips! Oh my boy... love. 







Ah, yes please. I would like to live here. Anyone got a spare few million to lend?

After the cruise, we had lunch at a restaurant on the foreshore. A typical 'holiday' treat of prawn salad, and fish and chips.

While Jacob conked out for a mega long nap, Nanna and Sam got busy cooking... or 'cheffing' as Sam says.

Apple Crumble was on the menu, and Sam did a great job!


Taste test time.


Easy does it, scooping the mixture into the dish.

Even Junior Masterchef's have to do the dishes. (He washed EVERY DISH and not only that he did a great job!)

Uh-oh.. this was not a part of the plan.

Last step, put the crumble on top.

Into the oven, all done! We enjoyed some apple crumble for dessert and it was delish! Thanks Sam!

**********

Great day overall! I've got a belly full of delicious dinner, apple crumble and wine... more than satisfied :)

I'm off to bed for an early night... sweet dreams! x
