We celebrated our last Melbourne Cup Day holiday in Canberra with a family gathering at our house. The kids played their favourite hot weather game on our very green (for once) grass, taking advantage of our first few days of really warm weather for the season. When not keeping out of the way of the hose (just a trickle) the grown ups were excited to hear about Josh and Jody's plans for their new business and the latest about Jeremy & Claire's new office.
Ella found the big boys very rowdy at times but she did her best to keep up, and keep out of the way when required. 
Ollie thought he'd hit the jackpot when he drew Allez Wonder in our family sweep. I was excited for him too - a Bart Cummings horse and a female jockey!! Maxie ended up taking home the sweep pool. She'd drawn Shocking.
