My Birthday...

So knowing that you are all self confessed blog STALKERS...i'm going to assume you've already read Lisa's Blog on our water sports adventures! (although she did fail to mention Danny's awesome pink jetski)...and Simone's Blog on our night time affair...So pretty much I have nothing left to say...
oh except the BEST bit...
On the morning of the 27th anniversary of my birth I heard a hurd of elephants storming up our internal staircase...
turns out it wasn't infact a hurd of elephants...but... 'now starting to show a slight belly'...pregnant Jess...this of course was a SURPRISE for my birthday...so after a series of hugs squeals and general jumping about we headed out for some brunch at Elephant Pancakes in the quadrant...then it was off to the Gorge...I had a little bit of an InKling that I was feeling InClined to go on...


THE IN-CLIN-A-TOR!!!
Walking to the inclinator... The view of the UGLY FENCE from the top...(whats with the fence?)

Hayden driving the inclinator...

...and the reasons we didn't feel BAD about using the inclinator...
a) "As if i could walk that far in this condition" pregnant Jess
and
b) "Oh yeah I forgot I was Elderly" Mother



Pretty much we decided that the inclinator wasn't an ENOURMOUS waste of tax payers money (it goes all the way from the carpark to the pool!) as it could come in handy for those with prams or in wheelchairs or carrying rather LARGE picnic baskets...
we did discover, however, that a person walking at the pace of an old lady with a zimmer frame (Thanks Hayds for being the guinea pig) could walk faster up all the stairs and BEAT the Inclinator on it's journey to the top! A turbo boost would certainly make it more exciting!
Thanks to all those who made my day...
Kyle for letting Jess come
Mum for picking Jess up
Simone for cooking ALL DAY so that Jess could eat
Lisa for organising the Water sports and the venue for the party so that Jess had something to do
Hayden for putting up with Jess at brunch...and on the inclinator
Danny, Brad W, Steph, Dozer, Ruby, Jack, Bek, Fiona, Camilla, Paul, James, Shaun, Chad, Annette, Kelvin...for coming to my celebrations and giving Jess someone to talk too
Chris for burning Jess' meat
Jayme, Emily, Rohan, Sarra, Hallie, Oliver and Jonty for giving Jess someone to Kiss and Cuddle in the absense of Kyle...
Simon...um... hmm ....nah I got nothing....jks:)
Merry Birthday to all and to all a goodnight!

ha ha - glad you tried out the good old inclinator. It IS very slow and not really that exciting, but handy for people with prams, old mothers and wheelchairs ;) It's nice to not have to push Noah up that big hill.

Looks like you had an awesome birthday.
