Irish in Australia

Anna's stepmom Therese has been visiting Australia and we have been lucky enough to take them all around a bit. We all went up to Red Hill and made a pit stop at the year round Christmas store. It's nice to pay a little visit to Santa in August!!

Red Hill is basically a lovely land of gluttony full of wineries, breweries, cheeseries, and fruit farms were you can get loads of lovely ice creams. We headed up to the brewery (or "beerery" as Matt calls it) for lunch. Then to a winery, then to a cheesery and so on and so forth. Ummmm, Red Hill is lovely!!

One of the wineries was having a barrel decorating contest. I am not so sure that this is the most politically correct barrel but some of them were pretty cool.

I was devastated to find out that None of them had yet to see a kangaroo OR a koala so we decided to remedy that really quickly!! I had to take them to meet my little guy. Here they are with Elliott. Oh, how I love him!! I am taking my parents to meet him when they are here too.
My Beautiful Elliot!!

Bosley Sitting

Matt and I are Bosley sitting for 3 weeks while Tara's Mom is away. It's been awesome to have him around again. Since Tara has left for Camp America it has been a doggy free zone. We went to the park today and Bos happily jumped right in a big, stinky mud puddle. He was already dirty so it was ok. He was joined by a perfectly clean golden retriever who bounded all around in the mud even though his owners tried to stop him.
I love having a puppy around!!
