A day at the raspberry farm

On Saturday we headed to the Christmas Hills Raspberry Farm to celebrate Mum's "dare I say" 59th birthday. It was a glorious winter's day, you know the ones we get frequently in Tassie where it is so cold but the sky is bright and blue with not a breath of wind. The sun was out so once we had ordered lunch we herded the kids outside to the play area and settled in for a good old family gasbag. I think it was nice for Mum to have her 4 girls take her out for lunch. Sarra absolutely loves raspberries so she thought we picked the restaurant for her because nearly every dish had some sort of raspberry slant to it. It was good to catch up with everyone. With everyone being so busy it is hard to see each other as much as we would like. I think Tyller, Jessica's boyfriend and Simon handled an afternoon with us girls okay. It might take them awhile to recover. We do talk alot. After lunch we all came back to our house and had some birthday cake and Mum opened her presents.

Oliver kept blowing out the candles before Mum and he looked very pleased with himself - maybe he thought it was his birthday instead.
