Leavers'

What did we do when we faced the nightmare?

We thought about when it would be over.

So what did we do when the nightmare was over?

We went down to Mandurah!!

And what, you ask, what did we do when we were down in Mandurah?

Well, I'm glad you brought up the question :)

This is one of the two angelic boxes of Kleenex I managed to empty while I was down there, courtesy of the ever-reliable holiday flu I caught on the first night.
There's always a bright side, though. I was allowed to sleep while everyone prepared dinner...
and I got to do the dishes afterwards too.

lllll

There was a lot of cooking involved down there, and far too much washing up.
We also waited for the bus. For a long time.

Cooking wasn't always a friendly affair, but eating never failed to bring us (and guests) together.

We went to the beach for a total of two hours in the three days we spent there.
The playground was half an hour of awesome fun, some of which has been captured on video (haha for William).

ll

We played Alfred's strange and scary games (also caught on video), and we spent half of our waking hours bankrupting Moey, cheating Nigara, and calling Karina's bluffs.



We learnt that us girls are bad at posing, but the boys more than make up for it.
Actually, Alfred is more than enough of a poser for all eight of us.

Playing house was fun, even though we're quite a boring little family that hardly went out and were content to actually just sit indoors playing Maple Story, betting real cash *coughCOINScough* in poker, or watching Karina personified on screen (in Miss Gold-Digger, which is a rather senseless movie).



Three days down south was nice :)
We learnt who snored and who didn't, who could cook, who liked washing, and probably most importantly... who was really bad at bluffing.

So next time, we'll all just cheat Karina at poker :)
