Day Three Hundred and Fifty Seven - 3D Puzzle

Dear all,

The holiday weekend is upon us and Kerry and Vince once again took the helm being as party hosts extraordinaire and hosted another epic Easter Bonanza













Within minutes of arriving we were invited to help Olivia in her latest venture: A 3D Puzzle!















Despite looking horrifically difficult, Darren and I became sucked in immediately and before we knew it, I was sorting pieces according to colour and Darren was studying the 'castle plans' in an attempt to get to grips with the task in hand.















It was pretty challenging and our productivity ranged between 1-10 pieces per hour; the difficulty arising not only due to the similarity of the pieces, but also the 3D nature of the structure.















I come from a family of puzzle-lovers but even this solid grounding in 'puzzle assembly' didn't really help me with the 3 D beast. Darren was extremely dedicated to his work spending around 8 hour solid on the puzzle. I was there with him apart from a brief nap part way through (puzzles are exhausting!).














And here are the fruits of our labor! It was tough, but hopefully it was enough incentive for Olivia, Payton and Vince ( We managed to get everyone involved towards the end; as Vince himself proclaimed: 'It's addictive!'.















Ahhhhh and then time for an epic Easter supper! Here is the Huge Ham that Kerry and Vince cooked up as well as a roast lamb and ton of fabulous veggies. It was delicious!














Another incredible holiday feast with the Duwyn-Wilkinson clan, we had an amazing time and ate and drank all day and all night. It was fabulous. Thanks you again so much Vince and Kerry!
