We had a happy Father's Day

We all went to my eldest daughter's, Tracey, for a Father's Day Barbecue on Sunday. We had a great day, the Dads got some nice presents and we all ate far too much. Mind you, Shannon's Dessert, a very large plate piled high with REAL CUPCAKES, was a bit hard to resist. Yep, she even makes great real ones.
So I thought I would share some pics of the day with you all.



Sam & my sweet 4 yr old granddaughter, Kaitlyn. Digging for buried treasure, maybe?




Sam, just digging, cos he can.




A very relaxed Tracey, after lunch.






Scuba Sam. Think the goggles might be just a tad too big?






Alexandra, my 16 yr old granddaughter, doesn't look pleased about having her pic taken.


Tracey's partner, Todd. Big, sweet, gentle man. Not half as scarey as he looks - lol.

You will notice that there is no group photo. Trying to get this lot to all get together in the one spot is like trying to climb Mt Everest, almost impossible. Also, there is no photo of me. I figure Shannon has posted enough ghastly pics of me to keep everyone happy.

Hugs, Coll :-}

PS; I did have a pic of Shannon & Shane, but she made me remove it and like an obedient Mum, I did :-}

Well it was the most horrendous picture of myself that i have ever seen and i would hate to torture all our lovely gal pals with such grossness! It would make their eyes sore and cause nightmares for years to come.I will not be responsible for that.
LOL it was yukky.
Thanks for taking it off.

Hi Coll, I love these long days with family where nothing is a stress and everyone looks after each other. Kids play all day and we laugh ourselves silly at the same jokes every time! I heard somewhere along the line you love the Swannies - so do we! Hubby is going camping this weekend (TV and all) with his mates so they can all watching the big game in peace! Haha!!
