A different way to go to a 3yr olds Party

17 May 2014 | Tweed River
Debbie
We had sailed all night from Yamba to the Tweed to get there for my great Nephews 3rd Birthday party. We'd anchored, got ourselves sorted and my sister Gail and brother-in-law Milton drove to take us for a well DESERVED COFFEE.

Next morning we dinghied into town, to buy Pasha a birthday present AND found a big shopping centre a block from the man made harbour where we'd left the dinghy. Extremely convenient.!☺️ After sitting in a cafe and Googling printers on EBay (decided we couldn't live without a printer on board, for this and that and especially with Greg's new position with Yoti Blue Water, we'll need a printer more and more. We got it a dollar cheaper at the post office. Clever little printer it can print from a Smart phone, an IPad, can print double sided at the sme time. Love it and all for $74

Party was great that afternoon. The house my nephew had bought in Pottsville 1/2 hour from The Tweed is a lovely family home complete with Chooks in their back yard.

Here is the Pic of me reading Pashas book we gave him complete with CD of songs. Typical of Auntie Debbie and many of you know me! Near the end of the party I put the music on gathered the littleies around AND we did a Dance/Aerobic class. They all followed the moves REALLY REALLY well, seeing they were only 3. The mashed potato step, then let the sun come up in the Sky, let it down. let the Moon come up and twinkle twinkle little stars etc etc till we were all puffed. A bit of Tai Chi at the end. It bounced off all that extra food they had eaten and therefore will give them a good sleep.
