Sat, 15th Sept, 2018 Mum & Dad’s, Cairns, Qld (Stephanie’s 21st party)

Gavin’s birthday – busy month September. Sent him a birthday text.

Quiet day blogging and chatting.

Worked on the family history with Erica.

While the others had their afternoon rest Steve and I watched the start of the Supercars racing in Sandown. It is qualifying day and they have 3 races to determine who will start the big race tomorrow. Interesting format.

Greg picked us up in the Tarago for Stephanie’s 21^st birthday party at her house in Trinity Park. She is renting with a few others and it is owned by one of the guy’s parents. They have their big boat stored in the canal beside it. Very nice.

She loved her elephant teapot which I had wrapped in red ribbon. Ticked off all her favourite things – elephants, tea sets and red.

Erica had made her ‘Memories from Granma’ album which was lovely.

Steph showed me her pet – a snake!

Great to catch up with Jodie and Sam again too.

There was a video of photos of Stephanie’s 21 years.

Great party. She had a jumping castle and bull ride for the little and big kids. There were a couple showers of rain but it didn’t stop everyone having a great time. Mum and Dad found a comfortable seat.

This photo reminds me of Steve’s 21^st when I was helping out and in the photo I was a blurr in the background as I whizzed behind him.

Cake time 

I said for her to stand up a bit as it looked like she was naked!!

Margit and Isabelle.

Wonderful night. Great to catch up with other family members too. We will get family photos at Brian’s 50^th when David & Amanda arrive as all the Geck family will be together for the first time in 11 years.
