Schools out for the summer and we are all set to have some fun.
Starting last Friday when school finished we headed down the coast to house sit some friends. They have wonderful house right on the beach with a huge garden and an awesome pool. Along with the housesitting came a little dog named Penny, who was the main reason for us to be there, to keep her company. She is a very cute little dog and the kids have fallen in love with her. Especially Mac! If he has told me once, he has told me a hundred times, "Oh Mum, Penny is SO cute".
We have enjoyed the space to roam around in the garden and just enjoy getting away for the hustle and bustle of the city. Mac even told me the other day that there was something wrong, it was too quiet.
Saturday night at 1.30 am we had a phone call from our worried friends in town saying that there has been an earthquake of the coast in the Nicobar Islands and it had set off a Tsunami warning. Their building had been shaking quite considerably, but we had felt nothing. Still, quiet panic set in and Andrew and I got onto the internet to find out more info. Suddenly our lovely beachside holiday home lost some of it's appeal. An hour and a half later the Tsunami warning was cancelled and we could breathe a sigh of relief. No doubt about our life in Chennai, it's always full of surprises.
Lazing about keeping cool
Sam is keeping the guards entertained
Many hours of jumping, diving and splashing
I just love this garden
Andrew has had fun stalking the lizards around the garden

Looks like so much fun Megs!
Great surroundings.

me and mum felt a little shake ... it was the after shock
