Grand Final Fever!

We're in baby! The mighty Parramatta Eels have continued their freaky run of wins and have actually made the grand final.

You may remember me blogging about this game we attended and I was happy we won that! Ironically, we play the Storm again on Sunday. 

So because I am a massive dork (and I had some blue sprinkles) I made these little cuties on Monday night. 

Oh yes, the Fever has hit, and its hit us hard!





And this is the current Meal Plan

Jenolan Caves, NSW. August 2009

The husband and I ventured out one Sunday to the Jenolan Caves.  The Caves are about 1 1/2 hour past the Blue Mountains, which are about 1 hour from our house, so it was a decent "Sunday drive".

The Caves are that typical place that you'd have gone to on a school excursion. But not me, I'd never been before so i was very excited.  For those who don't know of these caves, they are massive underground, well caves, that have been forming for a really really really long time.  They are formed by limestone..... falling from the roof...... something about air and water, maybe minerals? 
Ok, I wasn't really paying attention, more taking photos and staring at the shiney sparkly rocks! It was a really great day, if you are near you really should visit.  I would suggest taking your lunch as well. Unless you go for burgers made with frozen pattys whacked on the grill STILL FROZEN, or meat pies with chewy pasrty.  The coffee smelt good though.
Anyway here are some pics. 
At the end of the tour they put on some coloured lights, a bit tacky perhaps?
This is the only building at the Caves. Its a hotel/cafe/souveni shop.
The terrace to have lunch on is lovely though
The water was so blue it looked kind of algae-y
We came across some old bones, I really hope they were from an animal.

Meal Plan (a bit late...)

I apologise for the lateness, our printer was playing tricks on me so I couldnt print it. I couldn't show you the ugly hand written copy now, could I!
