Netrix Weekend in Bilpin
Sorry for the lateness of this post :P. Last weekend (13-15 Jul), it was the winter version of the traditional Netrix volleyball weekend away. From my previous post, we went to Culberra beach for a fun filled weekend of beach volleyball almost everyday. This time it was a winter 'bushwalking' type of stay at this lovely bed and breakfast which we rented out in its entirety (as there was a total of 18 of us going! with 2 dogs). It being winter, it was very cold especially the nights but there was a log fire every night and good food/snacks thanks to the girls. Please refer to the slide show below and comments for the summary of the trip :P. Here are some of the photos of what we did, especially the group photos :) 
A roaring log fire was a definite essential on the trip...lots of sleeping was done too due to the weather.
After arriving on Fri night, setting up the various air mattresses (there were 18 of us after all...so needed extra beds), playing with the dogs, and sleeping...we set off for our bushwalking later on Sat afternoon (breakfast of bacon, eggs and blue berry pancakes was provided as part of the home stay ;)
Here is a picture of the group of us (including Noodle and Charcoal - the cutest dogs ever) and the two kids. Another shot of us...
After a very 'exhausting' bushwalk (we walked for about 2 hrs...didn't really see much of nature) we went back to the house for dinner. Which the gals kindly prepared for us ;) haha...see the amount of food for the night! There was a griller inside the house so we had lots of BBQ meat.. ahhh nothing beats a good BBQ when the weather is cold, and thanks to Fiona for bringing the aged (tenderised) meat from her workplace ;)
Nothing beats a cold beer during and after a hot BBQ steak! Cheers to all!!! After dinner, we played some team building games...
You can see what was going to happen :P haha...me and the Birthday gal...little cutie!
At last the proper cake and candles!

Me with my 'birthday' present(s) ;) 
The next day we stayed on in the house just doing nothing but snacking, talking and playing with the dogs (at least the kids were). Just chillin on a Sunday afternoon with a log fire going and surrounded by friends. It has been a good weekend for me and Lil and it was sad that the next day was a Monday :( and it was back to work. A great effort by Karen and JLo for being the organising committee behind it all and it was such a big success. Cannot wait for the next Netrix trip (this time in the summer) when its back to the warmth, babes in bikinis, beach and beach vball again! haha...cannot wait :P good times good times...
