Last weekend, we went away for my birthday, and brought Amelia & Jo-Meg along.
Jo-Meg was impressed with the size of the flowers in the greenhouse

Amelia likes the flowers that match her hair

A BBQ on the back deck

There were none this afternoon, but we did see kangaroos hopping along the ridgeline other days

After dinner, Amelia decided to try panning for gold in the dam

No gold, but she did find a precious stone

(We did a tour of one of the mines in Bendigo - The Central Deborah Mine - and you can pan for gold in one of the buildings. I listened to the spiel going on the screen & heard that you could find "precious stones" with a hole in them if you didn't find any gold, and I was lucky & found one )
