(Above & below shots taken at Fremantle where we had delicious Fish n Chips by the water)
Spent a week with my brother's family in Perth and then in Margaret River, probably screwing up their family routine, what with twins, 3 dogs and 1 cat on their hands!!! I've gotta say, don't ever try to tell people how to look after twins unless you've had twins yourself. It's really not easy to handle two babies at the same time and my bro and my sis-in-law have their routines down pat! The twins are adorable! Really adorable! Not sure how their parents feel about having their pics posted on their aunty's blog but here goes anyway!
On the left of the above pic, we have the older but tinier sized, Elizabeth (Libby, for short) and on the right of the pic is Jasmine (Jazzy, for short).
Above pic taken outside what we call the 'Fairy Shop' in Freo. It's actually called 'The Pickled Fairy and Other Myths'. It's been 10 years since we last stepped in. Told my bro we HAD to have another go. They haven't stopped their glitter sprinkles over your gift wrapped items! Lovely place for the kids and adults-who-refuse-to-grow-up (like myself) to visit. (See below pic of life-sized fairy!)
Drove a couple of hours to drive from Perth to Margaret River and stayed in a lovely cottage with a fire place. Mike, my mum and the kids had fun chopping the wood. We also had kangaroos, possums and colourful birds dropping in at our doorstep!
The cool (and sometimes chilly) Winter weather made for lovely walking about the town and other places of interest. I might try to put up more pics later but for now, I've only put up one below of the kids at the animal farm.
Although we've been to Margaret River before, it was only a stop over back then as we were on our way down to Albany. This time, actually staying 3 nights at the cottage and being accompanied by my brother and his family was different as they were more familiar with the surroundings and offerings. The fact that they had lent us a car (we'd all driven up in 4 separate cars!) to use meant we could get by with their instructions and that very sexy voice in the GPS!!! (yep, my son and hubs are probably very much in love with that lady's voice after hearing her yell, 'Route Re-calculation! Route Re-calculation!) everytime I took a wrong turn!!!
We took in the sights at Canal Rocks, a Cheese Factory, The Berry Farm, Jewel Caves, an animal farm, Margaret River town centre, a Sat morn market at Cowaramup (think it's spelt like that) and along the way home, we stopped at a bakery at Dunsborough for lunch (delicious pies) and also dropped by the longest jetty in the world at Busselton.
And remember, all this while, my bro and wife had the twins to cope with. All I had to do was drive!
