Melbourne and the Tuccis!

This year we were not sure if we would make it to Melbourne to see Dames family. His brother Nath, and wife Emily and their 4 kids, were heading down and staying with his folks. We were worried there would not be enough room. Dames parents are waiting to move into their new home, and are currently renting a smaller house! We decided to all squish in and see how long we all lasted! It was actually great. There were 15 of us in a small 4 bedroom place, we had camp bunks for the kids and a blow up mattress for Dame and I. With Dames dad in the kitchen, I got to relax and play 'way too much tetris!!' But hey you gotta do what you gotta do!!

We were there for just over a week, we swam, shopped, had the worst hay fever of our lives!! Had a night out with Dames brothers and their wives. Caught up with some great friends, met some non-english speaking Italian relatives! Went to about 7 skate parks. Took the kids to 'Fun-fields' maybe the smallest theme park  I have ever been to!! Hung out on Dames sisters property, where I patted a big black bull while I was wearing a red t-shirt!! And ate, and ate, and ate!!


The kids had an absolute ball. There are 6 kids in Dames family, and 20 grankids, that means lots of cousins and lots of fun, and anything Italian involves lots of food!! I love the Tuccis. One of the things I love most about them is they all love to be together. Big Families rock!!
