Make It Perfect

I have HEAPS to catch up on since the Coward clan have been visiting with us…will have to do it in installments so it doesn’t take me forever! Last Thursday I had an appointment at the hospital in Launceston so we spent a few hours looking around town and showing them a few places of significance. We are not big Launceston fans, so didn’t really spend much time in there. Dr appointment went well. I was hoping I would get in there and they would tell me to stay because I was in labour without even realising it, but unfortunately that was not the case!!!

We started out Friday (still raining) with a leisurely morning at home and then spent the day traveling towards Devonport. Went to Ashgrove on the way and sampled lots of cheeses – yum!
Then off to Anvers Chocolate Factory and cafe in Latrobe for lunch – one of our favourite places for hot chocolates so we HAD to go there!
We had a look around the shops in Latrobe and went to Reliquaire – a very random and funky shop that is heaps of fun to walk through. They have a huge selection of everything you could ever imagine, kind of like a massive gift shop with lots of different themes. And a crazy disco room with mirrored walls, roof and floors and lots of crazy lights and music and spooky things. Oscar was so cute in there, getting scared and saying “no, no, no, cuggle” over and over again!!
Then we had a quick drive through Devonport but didn’t stop anywhere because it was pouring with rain. To finish off the day we drove out to Shearwater and had a look at the beaches and houses and visited Mum and Dad.

Grandie and Nana and Spenser have arrived!! They traveled last night on the Spirit of Tasmania and thankfully had a wonderfully smooth crossing and arrived at our house this morning at about 8:30am. We were all very excited to see them – Oscar especially, he remembered them from our last trip to Melbourne to visit them and hasn’t stopped giving them “cuggles” and jumping all over them all day!

We started out the cold and rainy day with breakfast at the Raspberry Farm this morning, them spent some time at home chatting and catching up on all of the news. After lunch, we went to Chudleigh and visited the Honey Farm.

We then continued on towards Mole Creek and went on a short walk to see Alum Cliffs. The view was spectacular, especially with the mist coming down over the cliffs and we were lucky enough for the rain to hold off. It is a lovely walk, Oscar even managed to make most of it on his own and then slept beautifully all the way home! So we are looking forward to a week of fun and adventures with our family before they head off to their new home in Bountiful, Utah. Whitney and Ashleigh will arrive on Saturday night so that will be fun to have them around too.
