It had been over a year since I saw Luke last and he sure looked different from last time I saw him. Deeper voice, peach fuzz mustache, hair in weird places, and almost taller than me…. key word ALMOST.

I introduced Luke to the sport of AFL and got him his own “footy”. We started a new tradition called footy in bed where we basically chant “footy in bed” over and over and watch footy on TV in bed..

Despite being the middle of winter when Luke visited we had some awesome weather. In the 70s every day and even got some beach time in Manly.

We took a few days off and had a long weekend up in Hunter Valley,
wine country. Luke and I used a golf voucher Chris got us and played lots of tennis to get Luke ready for try outs. He crushed me… Luke had a rough time at one of the pubs there, we were asked to leave the area where we were sitting because Luke wasn’t 18, the legal drinking age in Australia.

Towards the end of his trip we made it to Bondi beach and went to my favorite ribs spot, Hurricanes, thanks to yet another gift voucher, this one from dad. The ribs were awesome but not the cleanest of meals!

It was great to have Luke visit and see where we have been living the last few years. We had an awesome time!
