Sunday peace


Today in Hobart we went to the Southern Presbyterian church. The morning service didn't start till 11am, so we had lots of time to get organised 😀. We enjoyed the service, and we had a sermon about Jonah and his prayer.  Kyla came into church for a little while, but it wasn't long before I told Ashlyn to take her into the cry room which worked well. Between services Andrew's uncle John and Aunt Josephine, and his cousin Kristina and her husband Scott and their daughter Amy came to our unit. They brought a lovely array of sandwiches and other goodies and we enjoyed a lovely time together (but I forgot to take photos).
I stayed home from church in the afternoon... And we feed the ducks outside our unit when Kyla woke up....



After church it was time for a quick swim for the brave... and then dinner.


The house on the left is where we slept the first night, and the house on the right where we are now.  Quite a bit smaller, but still adequate...



After dinner we went for a bit of a drive around Hobart, up Mount Nelson and to Kingston.

This morning we went to Legana church. Stephen 'tHart was preaching there and he was there with his whole family (excepting Mim) and uncle Len as well. So we chatted to them and others after church including Rita's brother and his lovely wife. We nice chatting to different people. Between church services we went to Dad and Mum's for coffee and a delicious lunch. .... And for some necessary shut eye 😀 As they don't have crèche in the afternoons in Launceston, Andrew stayed home with Kyla in the afternoon, and Dad and Mum jumped in the car with me to go to church. We had another wonderful sermon from Pastor Wes and I chatted with a few people after church. The Pots were also there as were Richard and Lyn and family.

Last day

We spent our last morning in Tasmania cleaning and packing. Andrew took the the youngest to go and wash and dry two large loads of washing at the laundromat. Shiana and I stayed home and packed and cleaned. We had some lunch at home (finishing up some leftovers) and then headed to Dad and Mum's for Kyla to sleep. While she slept the rest of us went to the Launceston entertainment complex for some trampolining, laser tagging and other fun... Then we went back to Dad and Mum's for a delicious roast dinner with Suzanna and the kids as well. Dad and Mum hope to be at the airport tomorrow morning, but Suzanna and the kids can't... So we said our goodbyes to them. Poor Lucas had to go sit in the car to hide the fact that he had big tears in his eyes. He especially enjoyed his time playing with his cousin Lachlan which was really special. More goodbyes tomorrow... He's not going to like that... But then, neither do any of us. Goodbyes are never nice, but w...

Ashlyn and Lucas and Lachlan really wanted to go back to the swimming pool today, but we first decided to attend a couple of hours in City Park and have a picnic lunch there too. It was a lovely day for that. Poor Kyla managed to fall and do a face plant, consequently ending up with a scraped nose..  Then I dropped them off at the swimming pool while Shiana and I dropped Kyla off for a sleep at Dad Mum's. Once she was asleep, Shiana and I headed out for a spot of shopping. Shiana bought quite a few bargains before we went back to pick up the swimmers. After that we headed to Riverside motel for a meal with Dad and Mum age Suzanna and the kids. $16 mains are a bit hard to resist 😀
