Fireworks!!

Just a quick update because I'm not sure I'll be able to for a bit after this because I'm headed to Hunter Valley for my birthday weekend!! That's where all the wineries are! I'm pretty excited to sip on wine and relax all weekend - kids are exhausting, haha.

I had my first driving lesson on the other side of the road yesterday! It was a bit weird to drive on the other side of the road plus have everything in the car on the wrong side of what I was used to. And Drew (nanny dad) was sitting co-pilot so I felt super embarrassed when I turned on the wrong side (only once), kept turning on the wiper instead of the blinker, and pretty much running over the curb just about every few seconds! haha, I'm sure it was a sight!

On Sunday night my Aussie friend Luke was working a fireworks gig with his tugboat. People (rich people) hire Pyro Oz to put on a firework show somewhere on the water close to wherever their event is being held. So, pyro oz loads up a big barge with fireworks and Luke pushes it to the spot with his tugboat! It was so fun to be out on the harbour at night and listen to the waterways on the radio. The show was great! $12,000 worth of fireworks for Louise's 50th bday! And it was so cool to be literally right next to and under the fireworks - they were so loud and bright and I was told I looked like a little school girl looking up and smiling the whole time!

Well, that's a quick update but the kids are finally sleeping and its been one of those days so I'm ready for some relaxing!
