Long weekend

First things first, I promise to get pictures up of our NZ trip soon.  We literally have over 1000 pictures of our time at The Great Barrier Reef and New Zealand and I am feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the pictures.  I hope that I get started on NZ today or tomorrow.  I promise they are coming.

We are enjoying a long weekend this weekend.  Caleb is off today due to Australia's labor day.  We weren't sure if he was going to get it off but thankfully he has.  Its been raining a good bit this weekend so we have had a pretty lazy weekend, but that is just what we needed.  All week we have been trying to recover from all of our traveling.  We flew 5 times and stayed in 6 different hotels (7 if you count a night at our place in Sydney) over 9 days.  We had a blast and more to come on all that, but needless to say, we haven't had the energy to do much of anything.  After having a fun and relaxed weekend, I think we are caught up.  We have all passed around a cold the past week or two as well.  Dad got it first when they are here and it continues to linger.  Fortunately (or unfortunately) it has hit Caleb and I the hardest.  We have been to bed by 9:30 multiple times this week.  Anyways , more pictures and stories to come but first we are going to head out to a Fiesta Festival (full of latin dancing) as soon as the kids get up.  One good thing about living in the center of the city is there is always tons to do.
