Jamie's 8th Birthday



Sunday 17th June

Today we had Vicky her partner Adrian, Olivia 13yr & Jamie master 8 come down for the day. It was Jamie's 8th birthday during the week & as the kids had school we decided it would be best to come at the weekend. They came for lunch which Vicky left behind at home in the fridge hehehe, they went off & bought themselves subway while Brian & I had some quiche that I had made. The guys & kids spent most of the afternoon fishing off the pontoon, catching a total of 2 Pike eels yucky bloody looking things big white things with vicious teeth, 2 Bream great eating but they went back in, & two beautiful Mud Crabs both female so they had to go back in, (not allowed to take the females). Around 3.00pm we had afternoon tea, I had made a banana cake & put candles on it for Jamie, you should have seen his face it was a hit that's for sure. The family left around 4.00pm to head back up to the Sunshine Coast via the mongrel Bruce H Way. We had a great afternoon the weather was good nice & sunny. One rule granddad made the kids adhere to was they were not allowed on the pontoon without wearing life jackets - Jamie tried it on & turned on a real paddy, soon realising everyone else was having fun down there & decided if he wanted to join in he had to put the life jacket on - this time with no hassles, Grandad 1 - Jamie - 0.







  Above fish is a Bream nice eating but we didnt keep it - dont why actually as it was the biggest
  one caught. Below is the Mud Crab - which went back in.



Below photos show the ugly Pike Eel which definately went back in.
