Summer fun

Wow, time's flying by!

We've had a few end of year BBQs, swimming at the pools and down at the river with our homeschooling groups with just a good mix of just chilling at home. Summer is here good and proper now and we're soaking it up.

Today the kids Grampy took them out for the afternoon. He took them for a drive to an inlet area, got out the Canadian canoe, popped them in with the dog and walked them around in it. Nathan got to try out some paddling and really enjoyed it - Danielle not so much. They cooked up some sausages at the beach and munched on ice blocks on the way home. They collected me a variety of seaweed for my compost and washed it all in the paddling pool along with their wetsuits. Good fun!

I've been hunting out summer events and things to do with the kids. So far I've come up with going to see the Dragonboat races, Chinese New Year celebrations, Baby Proms, and a night light display at the botanic gardens as well as camping at the organic river festival (Nathan always looks forward to the pony rides). Along with the organised events we'll be camping in the backyard, more canoeing and kayaking with the grandparents and perhaps a spot of fishing at some stage, harvesting a lot more yummy fruit and veges from our garden and whatever else comes up in the next 4 months.
