The first event on the calendar was a cruise on the Gold Coast broadwater on a luxury catamaran, at twilight, followed by a party at their place at Mermaid Waters. This was a surprise organised by Jacki. Apparently organising surprises for Paul can be a bit dicey, but luckily this surprise was very warmly received by the birthday recipient.
Kerrie was once again my guardian angel and agreed to look after the kids so Zane and I could go down and join in the fun. Thanks Kez! I didn't get any photos of the cruise and after-party, but there was a family lunch the following day, and here are the pics.
Ella was only just walking here.

James just loves having a dip in the ocean.

This is the view from the end of their jetty, looking back up to the house. The Riviera is parked behind me, right next to the jet ski. Oh, how the other half live...
Time for birthday cake.
