The Albany trip

Today, the girls and Dad went to Albany. Before we all left, we jumped in the car to go and do some shopping and the girls were talking about the Playstation and Courtney’s Gameboy. As we walked into the shop, Brooke started getting upset, saying “I want the Playboy…. I want the Playboy” until she was quickly silenced by Dad.

After a long car drive we arrived in Albany and then went to see Lilly and Fin who were also on holidays. Then we went to the Vintage Blues Festival at Wignalls Winery, a cunning plan on Dad's behalf so the girls could see The WAiFs


The girls getting ready for the Festival to start.

Brooke wanted to go up to the front of the stage to go dancing and watch the bands whereas Courtney (most of the time) thought that the bands were too loud and was happy sitting back in the crowd. Brooke was fascinated by the live bands and when she wasn’t trying to dance she was more than happy sitting on Dad’s shoulders, staring at the musicians. Courtney did come up near the front once for a couple of songs and I looks like she has defeated her fear of loud music however, it’ll be more likely that she’ll be sitting back and watching her sister from afar in years to come.



Thanks to Lilly and Fin’s family for helping Dad out. He was getting stretched out between the conflicting interests of the two girls. We should mention when Courtney (who knows why) thought that she had left her chips in the toilet and put on the tears until Lilly and Fin’s grandma took her to check out each and every cubical.
