Well - it didn't take long for us to decide to travel up there (1.5hours) on Saturday after Eb's sleep and have a nice evening with them. Of course what ended up happening is that we stayed the night. We were totally unprepared, but as long as I had spare nappies I didn't care. We just stayed in the same clothes for a day and survived.
It was so much fun. We'd been there a few times before we got Ebony and had tried to get there since we've had her and haven't succeeded - well we finally did.
King Valley is a beautiful place and the farmhouse is exactly how it sounds. Outdoor loo - shower in the outdoor laundry - no problems at all having children running wild and sleeps about 10. It was so much fun. They have the big 'silage' bails that are wrapped in the green plastic stacked up near the house so we ran around playing 'tag' on top of them until it was almost dark (and almost dangerous!). Then we had a yummy dinner together and the boys took the bigger children out spotlighting and the girls just chatted. Eb went to sleep beautifully as usual.
The next morning we had the joy of feeding two very new calves that had just been separated from their mother. Ebony really enjoyed it and didn't seem scared at all. She also got to ride the motor bike(s) and the four wheeler with Nathan which she absolutely loved. We packed a lot in again and just loved it as we always do. Made our way home on Sunday after much, much fun!
