just another weekend on the PLP....

My weekend started off with the lovely sound of Teresas voice with the accompaniment of musical thumps as she marched up the stairs and paced back and forth between Seamus and I's room. "Up stairs, time to get up! up stairs, time to get up! up stairs! time to get up!" and it slowly faded away...


This isn't unusual amongst the little house, as we are a very musical group.... sort of. Nor is it unusual for T to feel the need to wake everyone else up because the day has already started in her world.


I laid in bed for just a little bit longer, because bed is a wonderful place and then decided to check a few emails - one being from my mate KELLY MCBROOM! (who is currently in Queenstown training) stating she would be in town from approximately 12 pm - 2:30 pm, having lunch and wandering about, so if I was around, she suggested to meet up!! yay! However one slight problem.. she is phoneless.. so I got out of bed, and decided to head downtown to have a wander and hope for the best.


Mission successful! Ran into her within 10 min of walking around and we had a exciting little reunion!!


Next: met up with Stikki(mates Steph&Nikki), and 2 of their friends and decided to go on an adventure walk - always an exciting time! We followed a goat trail (that even smelled like goats, apparently) up the backside of Queenstown Hill through bushes, over logs, under trees, around (and through) prickle bushes, across streams until we finally made it to the top of the hill, where we sat in the "Basket of dreams" and overlooked Queenstown and it's beauty. (Basket of dreams is literally a giant copper bowl thing that looks like a nest of some sort, at the top of this hill where you go to dream...i guess..)


We then ate pasta and went to our buddies going away party, also an adventure within itself.


SUNDAY: was one extremely adventurous day... even more so than the previous (if you can believe that!)


It also started with T coming upstairs to wake us up - however a little less musical as the morning before. We all gathered downstairs for a nice morning cup of tea and thought about what kind of fun things we could get up to that day..... it wasn't until after Emma suggested we make an extreme obstacle course in our backyard that we thought "HEY!!! LETS TOTALLY BUILD AN EXTREME OBSTACLE COURSE IN OUR BACKYARD!!!" So for the next half hour we ran around thinking of sweet ideas and obstacles we could do, and then got to work.


Minus a little break to the op shop where we purchased a 4$ push scooter and the worlds most amazing vintage lounge chair (tassels included) - we basically spent the day creating possibly the best most extreme course the PLP(our street) has ever seen.


6PM our guests arrived - and the adventure began. Once we completed the course we were all rewarded with a delicious roast dinner :)


..and that was just another weekend on the PLP.

What did you do this weekend?

The Obstacle Course of Extreme Measures

weaving through the trees of mysterious things

over the wall of fire and under the dragons table

up the stairs of horrible trips to eat 2 crackers and then attempt to whistle

through the tunnle of death

across the beam of insaneness WHILE trying not to drop the egg off the spoon

over the teeter totter of terror after hula-ing the hulahoop of flames

across the fence of unknown danger

through the tires of extremeness and over the 2nd T.T.O.T

and past the jump of great lengths to do the bike of doom

climb the ladder of terrifying heights,  to finish with 2 summersaults to towards the finish line!
