Echuca with the Sanders

It has been a few months since Grandpa Sanders' funeral and there was a family reunion held in Echuca.  We rented a huge house right on the river with a fantastic al fresco area with a pool and had a great weekend.  

 

 

  
The girls loved hanging out with their older cousins Hannah and Brooke.

 There was also plenty to see and do in historic Echuca

 

There was a horse drawn carriage ride around town

and a cool drink whilst watching the world go by ....

before getting on the paddle steamers 

Followed by a relaxing afternoon by the pool and some fishing on the banks of the Murray.

 

 

The house we had was huge and accomodated 5 families very comfortably. 

The Sanders brothers and sisters ... a rare reunion.

Apollo Bay

Melbourne Cup weekend this year saw us in Apollo Bay where the weather was our friend.  The girl enjoyed the beach which was a short stroll from the caravan park.



  

 

Beachtime was usually followed by a stroll down to the shops for a milkshake / coffee and a play in the park. 

 

 

The girls have decided that they are now game enough to hit the skate park on their scooter. 



 

One of the best things about Apollo Bay is the close distance to the shops where we enjoyed the cafes and bakery.  Lunchtime .... sausage rolls washed down with a Big M!
