We had such a good time with Mom and Dad Windall here. They spoiled us sooo much. They brought us heaps of yummy food (and other stuff) from America. You just don't know what you miss until you can;t get it anymore :) We were so glad they were able to come and visit and see a little bit of our life.
One of our highlights was a huge duststorm that came through on Wednesday morning. (Being that we are al extreme weather junkies...we loved it, unlike the rest of Australia ;) All night Tuesday we experienced tropical storm strength winds and woke up to a red glow in the sky. Apparently, since we couldn't get to the outback, the outback came to us. The winds had blown in heaps of dust from the central of Australia out to the coast. It lasted about half the day and then we all just drove around with red cars and had to dust the red out of every crevice of our house. (Good thing mom and dad were here to help).
I think we may have tired them out a bit. There aren't many sleep in days when you have to see all the beauty and keep busy with the responsibilities of life. Dad had to find time in between the many beautiful sites. And we let him have a comfy chair at home so he could sit on the porch when he had time.
Mom loved all of the birds and we stopped quite a bit to get pics of all of the colorful birds. The problem with this one was I was so overwhelmed with getting the photo, I forgot to put the car in park so as mom was getting out of the car and I took my foot off the brake the car started to run over moms foot...oops!!! Fortunately dad was there to help--Sorry mom!!! At least we got the pic.
Aside from the birds, mom and dad found some other Aussie friends. Dad spoiled his letting him eat right out of the bag. Good thing mom stepped in and made him share with the other two, making sure they all got a bit to eat.
Dad got to cook his fair share of BBQ's while visiting us...At this one in particular, his job was
to make sure the meat didn't jump off the barbie...:) Yum!!!
Well that is a quick look at our adventures with mom and dad. We saw so many amazing sites and ate lots of yummy food and had heaps of fun. Guess you will have to come and check it out for yourself...
