The House That Uncle Andrew Built
Today Ethan, Aidan and I took a jaunt up to Noosa to visit Uncle Andrew and Aunty Leanne. They are in the process of building a new house, however, I suspect that like most house building projects, it is taking longer than expected. We arrived to find Uncle Andrew covered in paint, and Aunty Leanne in a similar state.
The house is big. Real Big. It's on 2 1/2 acres and backs onto a golf course in the Noosa Valley. They had their pool house built first, which is where they are temporarily living. About the same time they had their garage built, which is supposed to hold 4 cars, but currently holds a part time office, two cars in pieces, and the rest of their furniture. Its actually not as bad as you may think, as Aunty Leanne runs a tight ship.
The kids love going up there. Ethan gets to play with Alex, their daughter, and Chris, their son, who are both older - but with Ethan's size he pretty much can keep up now. Aidan loves greeting Uncle Andrew and Aunty Leeane with squeals of delight that they are there. We hung around, got the latest house update, and then I left Ethan with them whilst Aidan and I made the journey into Noosa proper to visit Grandma.
I, of course, am the kind of person who just lobs up on someone's doorstop with little, if any, notice. This doesn't work well with Aidan. We arrived at Grandma's and of course she and Grandpa weren't there. This set Aidan into hysterics, which I tried to resolve by taking him to the local shops. Not necessarily a good move, as we walked through the shops with him screaming at every passer-by that he "Wanted to see Grand Maaaaaa." I had to politely point out to all accusers that yes, I was his father, and no, I couldn't control him.
We did, happily, find Grandma back at her house on our return. This settled Aidan, and we did a quick run down to the beach for a walk along the sand. I love Noosa Bay, and would love to retire there. I even managed to snap what I think is a great picture of Aidan. Enjoy.
Ciao for Now, Noosa Angry Dad.

Noosa is great - we keep meaning to drive up "one of these days...", but Yoyo is teething, and we don't fancy being stuck in the car when the screaming kicks in...
That house looks fantastic, too...
Wow that house is very big indeed. In a lovely location too. I can see why you would want to retire up that way - beautiful. The last photo is really lovely as well - looks very peaceful.
