A few new experiences

On Friday we met up halfway with a friend who has moved into the city. We started off at a cafe and then headed to the nearby museum that we hadn't been to before, so we took our time and wandered around there for a while (Nathan excitedly pointed out an old yoke like one that Almanzo had put on his calves in Farmer Boy) before heading off to browse some shops while the kids got to just hang together and catch up.

After saying goodbye to them, I took the kids to the hospital to visit their great-nana. We found her in the patient lounge where some of the rehabilitation patients were going to be making pikelets as a part of their therapy. It was quite a new experience for the kids to see people with a range of physical abilities in one room and Nathan would have loved to help out with the measuring and mixing!

The car conversations returned to Mount Everest and then Nathan started asking about direction (he's been interested in playing a treasure hunt game on his PC geography game) and I pointed out N, E, W, S which were the directions he was used to. He then pointed in between two directions and said "but what is that direction then?". Well, that was SW lol.

We spent Saturday at home and pottered around until some friends came to visit.

Today Simon was home, so we just hung out here in the morning, after lunch we bundled onto the bikes and took the kids for a ride in the bike trailer down to the shopping centre.

The kids spent the afternoon hanging out down in the garden, digging their hole bigger, and Danielle helped me repot some seedlings.
