It's hard to imagine, but life isn't all about sailing - we all know family is very important too. So when the invitation came for James' 21st party (actually 4 days of parties) in Melbourne, we thought it was a great way to catch up with family and friends whom we hadn't seen for almost 5 months. As the rest of the family accepted their invitations, James' 21st also became a wonderful opportunity to celebrate Mary's and Mac's 60th wedding anniversary. Truly an important occasion - even the Queen popped a card in the post to the lucky couple... The Melbourne Bash (hosted fabulously by Robyn and Denis) grew further to include: Tom's, Amy's and Kelsey's birthdays, with Kelsey's also being her 21st. And so below, there are a few shots of family and friends celebrating in Melbourne. Enjoy life as we certainly are...It started quietly on Thursday with Robyn entertaining the early arriving guests!Then Friday's 21st Bash got into full swingImportantly, his Parents had a few words for young JamesThe girls do love dressing up for a partyThis weekend's number one group - James with Mac and Mary
