WENT OFF WITH A SPLASH.....

... Hayley's first Birthday party was this afternoon with family and friends.

All parties are great but when it is 40 deg C again what do you do to keep the kids "cool"? Get out the water slide castle and let them loose.

Boris their dog of course had a great time you may recall seeing him earlier - and all in all everyone enjoyed the party.

Hayley surely knew what it was all about when Alice helped blowing out the candle she gave a clap! Got to love grand kids!

Enjoy, and have a look in LARGE

.. oh and on aside the Cricket test on in Perth has seen the Aussies take a strong hand on regaining the Ashes back from England with a top day with the bat including a triple century partnership!
