Mum's 80th Birthday

We traveled down to Melbourne for mum's 80th birthday. Amy ended up staying at home as her Eclectus Parrots had been sick and at the vet for about a week so she needed to stay home and care for them. Bill, Lachlan and I drove down Friday morning and with 3 drivers it wasn't too bad a trip!

We helped set up Friday night, we had the party at the retirement village where mum lives, they have a lovely communal area which had everything we needed, pool table, table tennis table, sound system and big screen for all those family photos and a baby grand piano which meant we could be serenaded by Joshua- it was a great venue. Mum had organised a spit roast company to cater so most of the work was done for us.
