Our Long Weekend Away - March 1 to March 3, 2008!
We are back after having a great long weekend break down at Donnelly Mills Cottages with Will & Bron Eilander and kids!
We went to Donnelly Mills! Donnelly Mill shut down many years ago but the cottages that were built for the mill employees are still standing and have been converted into holiday accommodation! We stayed in one of those cottages - #11. Will & Bron and kids stayed in #30 across the road from us! They are really cute cottages which have been refurbished and done up a little bit! But they still have a wood fire stove and and outhouse (yep not too sure about that - just have to make sure you don't need to go to the toilet during the middle of the night)!
Our cottage we stayed in!
Will, Beau, Ryan & Amber - Enjoying the wildlife
Ryan and the Kids on the Flying Fox!
Saturday afternoon Trevor and Melissa and kids came around and we went swimming in the lake which is just down the road! We had a BBQ for dinner and just sat around the camp fire chatting! Love that about going away - got to have a camp fire! Myself and Ryan survived our first camp fire without the marshmallows and wine - it was hard - but we did it and I'm proud of us!
Sunday (after looking at a DVD of a sermon we had in Rockingham a while ago) we went 4wd driving at the Yeargarup Dunes and then down to the beach to relax and have a swim!
Ryan, Will, Bron, Tayte and Zane - Having lunch at Yeargarup!
Monday was spent at Lake Jasper which is just out of Pemberton! Great place. We had our boat with us so we took the kids (and adults) knee boarding etc! We got home about 10pm last night - very very tired but feeling great!
Ryan - Kneeboarding
It was an awesome weekend and the company was the best - Couldn't have spent it with a nicer family - Awesome kids and Will & Bron are two fantastic people!
Well we survived our first long weekend away on our new lifestyle change! We actually found it quite easy to get used to. You have little cravings every now and again - but most of the time I found it quite easy! So now that I know we can do long weekends I know it can only get easier and easier!
This coming Monday we go in for our first weigh and another blood test! It has been soooooo tempting to check our weight on the scales - but they are still hidden under the bed in the spare room until Monday when we are finally allowed to weigh ourselves! Looking forward to it and I hope that I've lost some weight! I know I've lost some, coz my clothes are all fitting a little bit loser! But i will be very interested to see how my kg's that we have both lost!

Me, relaxing at the end of our holiday!
So I'll keep you posted and let you know! I wanted to download more photos onto this post but they take forever to download - so might download some during the week!
Till next time xx
