A few shows, some family visits and a wedding

Observatory Lookout at Sunset
We went to a rather different sort of show - The Big Hoo Ha and if you ever get the opportunity, you should go! It was in the style of Thank God you're Here with two teams battling it out in different games. There was song, dance, mime and lots of laughs!

We also went along to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow which visits Esperance every year. This was a good night, a group of mates went along and it was full of laughs.

Toni Childs was another show we went to - a busy month for us attending the Civic Centre! She put on a fantastic show and performed for nearly three hours which did surprise me. It was so nice to go to a show where I didn't have any expectations - I only knew a few of her songs. She told quite a few stories of how she would write music and get inspiration and it sounds like she has a lot planned for the future too.

Showing Nanna Lucky bay
Nanna and her friend got the bus down to visit me and we managed to cram in quite a bit in the time that they were here. We did the Tourist Loop, the Kepwari Walk Trail, Stonehenge, Cape le Grand and went out for dinner..lots. That was the first time I had been to Stonehenge and it was certainly worth a look, its construction was quite a feat and there is a serene feeling when you stand in the middle. It was also the first time I actually saw kangaroos on the beach at Lucky Bay. They are very tame and friendly and will hop on to the next group to say hello, or see what food they have. I was so disappointed to see a car pull up beside us and call the roos over with food.

I made a quick trip to Perth for my sister's Birthday. We had a lovely evening spending it at Crown, gambling and eating. Our dinner venue had a set menu as there was a show on, but that made it easier for us to decide and the food was yummy! It was great to catch up with the family and the dog!
Look at that cutie!

We also went to a wedding - a very different one at that! My best mate decided to get married on the top of Frenchman's Peak and although some were not excited about the difficult hike, we all made it up there and the ceremony was lovely. They did it in the little cave with everyone gathered around, then they went off for some more photos in glorious locations and later we all went off to the Taylor Street Quarters to celebrate the day.

Managed to get a photo of us
