Days 31 & 32  It's my birthday!  (And yes, it's a 'big' one, but sshh!!)   This year we have come up to the gorgeous Hanmer Springs for a birthday 'weekend' to celebrate.  Last year we came to Hanmer Springs for the first time for literally half a day.  We said at the time that we would be back and that next time we would definitely stay for longer, so here we are!  My parents have also joined us for our little mini-holiday, so it's great to have all my family together for my birthday this year, the first time in a very long time!

I've decided to blog the last couple of days together since we have basically spent most of the time since we arrived yesterday at the Thermal Pools!  The boys have been having an absolutely incredible time, and both have amazed us with their growing confidence in the water.  Both will jump off the side of the pool into the water - Hayden only into close arms (but even this is a huge step!), and Austin will just throw himself in no matter what and is not at all phased by going completely under, always popping up with the hugest grin on his face! 

After two days here, and even with most of my time spent in the pools - not with a camera in my hand - I still have so many fun shots of the boys playing (and even a family one!), so I thought I'd made a big storyboard of some of my favourites to share.
