Finn was so excited and happy to get to spend time with his 9 cousins on that side of the family, them and the train set!
The first night we had a sausage sizzle and had a catch up.
On Sunday the kids had footy. After Paul finished up with AusKick he was kind enough to take Shan, Finn and I for a tour of his and Kirsty's Marlo house which is so awesome (we would have photos, however we got too caught up talking and forgot to take any).
On that note this blog post will be fairly light on photos - we were too busy catching up and talking to everyone to take photos! (Aunty Sue can you email me some of what you took while we were there and I can add to the post!).
After going to Marlo and having fish and chips with Paul and Mitch we had a family dinner at Aunty Sue and Uncle Glenn's (now the kids cant complain they don't get to come over for dinner!).
Finn had a great time playing with all the kids and at one point he and Mitch were like double trouble. Finn has greatly expanded his 'best friends' list, as Beau advised us.
Shannon, Finn and I were lucky enough to be given hand made Loom Bands courtesy of Heidi, although there was a slight argument between Finn and Shannon when Finn decided he wanted one of Shannon's (Shan made sure to hang onto the one that glows in the dark!).
Toby is even so talented he was making Minions from Despicable Me out of the Loom Bands!
The older cousins, Jake, Jack, Max, Will, Meg, Heidi and Beau were kept busy playing Pool - I watched but didn't participate, as they all looked too good!
On the Monday when everyone was at work, except Krissy, Uncle Glenn, Kirk and Aunty Sue, Shan and Kirk went bush to go for a fish and take the Hobie Kayak out for a run.
They went to a property in Kirk's family which is way out bush and quite remote. They were planning to go for a fish in the kayak so Kirk could see how the peddles in the Kayak work..........only problem was that the peddles were in our camper, back at Newmerella!

Shan took some beautiful shots at the property.
While the boys were out fishing, Uncle Glenn, Aunty Sue, Krissy, Finn and I went out to Cape Conran for a bbq, it was lovely.
On our way back we stopped to have a look at a lookout near Marlo.
Uncle Glenn filled us in on the Bush Sprites (Clay faces ranging in sizes from a 50 cent piece to the size of the tip of your little finger) that a local has 'hidden' all along the track. We were all searching high and low, until Aunty Sue spotted the first one.........and the second one! Smarty Pants.

We then had to stop for the obligatory beer at the Marlo pub!
Because that was our last day in Orbost I wanted to take Shan to see Craig and Bec's house, Shan is so envious of the shed and the timber shed! Although I don't think there are enough winters to ever get through all that wood!
Sadly this morning (Tuesday) we had to bid farewell to everyone and we headed north.
On the way we stopped at Genoa to have a fish, Shan was really surprised at the creek bed as it had changed so much since he fished there for Adventure Angler a year and a half ago.
We were lucky enough to see a freshly dug wombat burrow, there were cute little foot prints going in and none coming out so we assume Mr or Mrs Wombat was still in there.
We then made the trek to Narooma, which is where I will leave you for tonight as we are headed out to dinner.
