Oi Oi Oi!
Happy Australia Day Everyone.
We couldn't get more Aussie then a BBQ with the neighbours, a few beers, we all had to bring something Aussie, and later we all soaked up the sun in the spa! Oh Heaven I tell you.
First up though, Grant, the boys and I put our Aussie Tats on, to start our Aussie Day!
I took my homemade potato salad, as any BBQ is not complete without my potato salad. There were hotdogs, meatpies, Vegemite sanga's, breadrolls, tomato sauce, snags, steak, we had a feast and the kids had a ball! Was a fantastic day!
We headed off around 8.30pm. A great Aussie day filled with great friends, laughter, good times, Aussie Food, our kids, and a little alcohol to add that zing in life....
Go Aussies Go!!!!
Hope you all had a great Aussie Day!!!
So to finish off the day I found this:
