christmas in july

we spent last weekend at barwon heads with zac's dad's side of the family for a "chistmas in july" weekend. i didn't pull out my camera friday nite for christmas dinner but it was good. while most of the group dined on apparently "the best roast ever" zac, his cousin and i dined on amazingly good vegan tacos that his cousin made (she's vegetarian). she does pretty much the same as me with tvp, beans, tomatoes and taco seasoning but she also added in a can of refried beans-- it's really good that way. there was trivia where zac won "morning tea and a spa package" (an english breakfast teabag and some a travel packet of bath gel from the holiday house we were staying at).

when i got home and looked over my photos i had over 200 photos and only few (probably less than a dozen) with any of the 11 adults in them. the rest were scenery, children (there were 3) or dogs (4 fur balls).
