A bag of Carrots: Easter

We spent the actual Easter weekend (Friday till Tuesday) at Lake Leake. The morleys were there too! :-) Except for Sam, cause she was in South Africa. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be without her. It was wierd to have no1 to play games with, and it was lonely when James was out fishing in his boat, but all in all it could have been a lot worse.

We walked right the way round the lake. It took about 4 hours, and we were walking fairly fast. It was just me and James and Rachel and Ollie, not the twins. It was fun. :-) We met these old people at Kalangadoo Bay, and they told us it would be impossible to get through the snowy - the river at the back of the lake. And then when we got there it was just a trickle! We jumped over it without even getting our feet wet! Actually, it was quiet dissapointing. James and I were both looking forward to a bit of a challange.

The hardest part was getting past the damn wall. We had to folllow the river downstream a bit and then wade across. It was a raging torrent compared to the snowy! It was knee deep on me, and it freaked Ollie out a bit - he's not a very good swimmer. Then we came up behind the damn. Which is STRICTLY no tresspassing. And the caretaker saw us through his window! He was giving us the death stare! James sais that if he'd questioned us, he would have just blamed it on me and my evil teenaged influence. :-)

We also went trout fishing; Dad got a big brown, James got 2 little rainbows and a few perch, I got nothing. Nothing all weekend. :-(

But eel fishing is a different story! I got two then, James only got one! And I only lost one! James lost tons! We were sharing a rod and after I caught two I let James and Kez try for all the rest cause I'd already caught my fair share. Kez, Beck and Ollie all caught one. Ray caught two, but she was hogging a rod all for herself, so thats understandable.

We wasted the day on Monday in the car. We went all the way up to Ansons Bay to see Grandma. Aparrently she couldn't make the trip down to Lake Leake to see us, even though she was apparently desperate. So she guilt trapped Mum into taking us up there. 5 hours in the car. 5 hours in the car stuck behind caravans half the time. (No offence to Caravan people) I think its very rude of Grandma to expect us to go up there and see her. We only get 8 weeks holiday a year and she expects us to waste them visiting her! She's a pentioner! She can come visit us anytime she wants, and does she? NO! But then she mopes around whenever we're on holidays and we're not visiting her! Stupid hipocrite!

Its not so bad once we get there. Not when Dad's with us. He and me and Peter and sometimes Rachel go out fishing. In the few hours we were there, I only saw Grandma over lunch, and again to say good bye. Only long enough for her to tell me I was gonna have scares all over my face for the rest of my life from my pimples. What a lovely grandmotherly thing to say. Understandably, I prefer to spend time out fishing with Peter. Peter's cool. :-) I caught 4 flathead, a coota and a red gernard. Total for the weekend: more than James!!! The only good thing about Ansons Bay: Fishing!!!

We were back at Lake Leake on Monday night. The beds at Grandma's are just too horrible to be worth it.

Tuesday was just more mucking around with the Morleys. James pretty much gave up on fishing, so we rode around, exploring all the little firetrails with Kez and Ollie. I taught them all the stupid little games we play in Maths, and we played them for an hour or so. Then we had to leave! :-( And we won't see them again probably until show weekend! And that's absolutely ages away!!!
