More rain in Airlie Beach


February 27:

We are all sad that Blair’s visit is coming to an end.  This is his last full day with us in Australia, although his bus to Cairns only leaves at 8:00 tomorrow night.  We were hoping for clear skies, but just when we got our sunscreen on the rain is pouring down.  It is the funniest weather here.  One minute bright and sunny, the next minute raining cats and dogs.  Annie and Blair make us breakfast.  I do some schoolwork with the kids and then we go to the pool at our complex anyway and stay out while the rain is pouring down on us.  The sun finally comes out and so we go to the Lagoon and swim in the shallow waters, playing with the water ball that Blair brought.  Annie and I sneak off to a shop and poke around and then Hudson and I sneak off to a shop and while we are in there it starts pouring rain.  We find our group and are soaked to the bone by the time we arrive at the car.  Upon our return to the condo, we shower and settle in for a cozy night.  I stop by the nearby grocery to purchase our dinner preparations – good ole American hamburgers with baked beans!!  Before dinner, Blair and I sneak off to MacDonald’s where we hear they have free Wifi to check on email and such.  We are wanting to see if we have any communications from Mom as to how Grand-mommy Bea is doing, but I guess no news is good news.  We return home to a fabulous meal prepared by Hudson “The BurgerMan” Wiedmer.  After dinner, we watch the Academy Awards and call it a night.
