Camping 2009

These are some photos from our camping trip in November. We all had such a great time. We stayed at the Big 4 in South West Rocks. The boys loved it because there were lots of other kids to play with. They had a jumping pillow and the swimmingpool. We had some locals come around at night for dinner. They just ate the grass. We had bbqs every night and the kids played in the games room any chance they got. We are all looking forward to planning our next camping adventure. David wants to go back to the same place but I really want to go somewhere new. I will win because I always do. I will put some more photos up of our trip.

These are some old photos from Wollongong from the beginning of November. The boys had such a great time in the little creek. It was a really great day out.

The Holidays do really fly by

Well we are nearly half way through the second week of the holidays and they seem to just be flying by. I think of the things that I need to get done and the things I want to get done and I never seem to finish it all. I have nothing to read right now so any suggestions will be welcome.

It is really great that they have started to air some new shows again. I am looking forward to some of the old ones being returned. I am loving the new Fast Forward and Stargate Universe on Scifi.

I took the boys to the bike track yesterday and besides the gale force winds it was a great day. They love going and riding. Donna joined us with her three and all the boys had a great time. I unfortunately did not register the heat in the sun and am terribly sun burnt around my neck and face. Lucky for me the boys did not suffer my fate. It is very painful and I had a terrible sleep last night.

Lots of things to look forward to in November so see you all soon.

Love,
Helene

11 October 2009

Well it is Bathurst weekend. David loves this weekend. He sits in front of the TV and shushes everyone because when watching cars go around everything must be silent. Crazy but lots of beer and junk is also consumed. Well it is only one day, so he keeps telling me.

We also had a death in our family. It turns out if you don't feed birds regularly they die. Crazy that. We are not sure if that was why they died but it is probably what it is. The other one is eating feaverishly now so i think that is what it was. Well we learn from our mistakes. I have been asking David for 3 days to check the water and food and he says he'll get to it. I can't totally blame him I could have checked on them too but I don't usually feed them so I take only a little blame.

Well I think that is all for this Sunday. Hope everyone else is enjoying the race as much as I will be.

Canberra

Today we went to Canberra to see the flowers in floriade but of course it was raining. We took a trip to the War Memorial and it was great fun. We didn't look through the whole building but we did see the planes and spent some time in the Discovery Area. That was good fun. I didn't even know it was there. I've been there a few times now and for some reason we never went downstairs. Well the boys loved the hands on activities.

We also took a drive out to Tidbinbilla and that was also good fun. The boys had a great time learning about space and looking at all the space dishes. The drive out there is a bit windy but ver pretty. If it was dry we would have stopped off at Cotter Dam. That is a really pretty picnic area.

Well I hope everyone had a nice long weekend.

Love,

Hello Again

Wow how time seems to get away from me. It has been ages since I have blogged. Hope everyone is well and getting ready for the school holidays as much as I am.

Well I am planning to have a cooking day at my house on the first Tuesday of the holidays. I thought the kids could come and some cooking. They will make Pizzas and cookies and a few other things that have yet to be discussed. Well i hope you can join in the fun. Let me know so I can count numbers. On the second Tuesday it will hopefully be a bike track day if anyone is interested in joining us.

Well we had planned to go to Canberra this weekend to see the flowers but have put it off for another week due to the terrible weather they were going to have. I can deal with most weather except for the wind. Rain is terrible at an angle.

Well I think that is all for now. So looking forward to seeing New Moon in Novampire. Then we are off camping for a few days up the coast.

Love,
Helene
