We were so lucky with the weather. The rain held off until after our meal and present opening. Doug's grand-daughter's husband had taken Doug off to move the cows and show him the farm when there was a heavy downpour. Luckily they had gone in the Ute rather than the quadbike and stayed dry. Shortly after the rain there was a very strong gust of wind that lifted up the gazebo. Luckily no-one was hurt but everyone moved indoors. Actually the rain was welcome as it helped to cool things down.

The last of the presents being opened. There seemed to be a lot of presents for 4 children and they had already opened the family presents at home first.

What a nice idea to have the presents outdoors; we couldn't have done that here!!!
ReplyDeleteAbout 20 of us, daughters, grand children, great-granddaughters, spouses so more room outside.
