Orange you glad we weren't hit by a palm frond?!

Chambers' bootcamp on Friday was particularly fun! It went by in a snap and we had a great time mucking around, reading plays, and creating scenes. After a finding-a-bathroom fiasco in which Luce visited a Starbucks, Subway, random Japanese restaurant, and finally (accompanied by Han) a Holiday Inn to find a loo, we drove out to Mum and Q's for the weekend! We satisfied a craving for Chipotle burritos for dinner and watched Catching Fire - so good! 

Yesterday we went exploring and found a beautiful - and massive - orange grove! We walked around, dared Q to pick a kumquat and eat it (which he did, despite it being underripe haha Han had better luck, it was actually pretty yummy!). Walking among the palm trees scattered through the orchard, things took a terrifying turn when the wind picked up and huge beanches started dropping all over the place! We snapped a quick pic and got outta there!!
We grabbed some delicious oranges from the fruit stand and some lollies from the gift shop then headed to lunch at a Turkish restaurant we'd seen in a magazine. 
It was INCREDIBLE! Ohmygod YUM! The dips, bread, rice, and beef, lamb, and chicken kabobs were to die for and we ate more than our fill! We slumped home in a satisfying carb-coma and had a very snoozy afternoon reading, sleeping, and doing absolutely nothing free of guilt. We watched the most recent Thor movie in the evening and we're all very impressed with its twists and turns - and with everything about the gorgeous Chris Hemsworth! 

Today we had a super yummy brekkie, did our laundry, and procrastinated leaving Mum and Q's for longer than was plausible haha. We're just arriving home now, actually! We had a long chat with Izzy on the way, we CANNOT WAIT for her and Sarah's visit! We have House of Cards in store tonight and a jam-packed week ahead! WOO!!!
