Christmas film of foozles

Here are a few films of what we get up to while we are getting into the Christmas spirit...





Merry Christmas All

Loonies

There's a wee park with swings and what not up at the top of Mount Panorama, so we thought we'd take the kids up for a bit on Saturday morning.



When we got to the top though, we found that the second half of the race track was closed. I went down and had a look as to why this may be.



Oh dear. They're not are they?



Holy &*@#. They are.

Those that have been around this circuit will understand what complete loonies these folks are. The descent is *very* steep, the Esses are treacherous and I can't for the life of me think how they could get through the Dipper at speed (and they most certainly be at speed - I don't see any brakes on those things, besides their feet).

I hung around for a bit thinking I could get a better shot or too. Alas, I ran out of time before the next run. I guess it must have taken a while to hose the blood off the track.

Here are a few more shots from around the mountain. We've had some rain since, but things had become quite a bit browner after a week or two of high temperatures. Pretty though.

Merry Christmas To All

The Cappers would like to wish everybody a joy filled season. Hope you all get to enjoy this festive time with health, love and laughter and may your new year be Fantastical.



some people just don't like silly hats :P

Our day

Another lovely hot day, we had around 34 degrees. The type of nice dry heat that soaks into your bones. The kids are enjoying it, we play in the yard in the morning when its cool, around 15 to 20 degrees. We fill our paddling pool and leave it in the sun to warm. We dig in the sand and water the plants and drive around the trucks. This morning we then went shopping, Matthew had his midday snooze and Timothy and I did some Christmas crafty stuff. After the snooze we had a late lunch and went to the library. So cool in there, and got some great books which we sorted through on our return. The car actually said it was 36 at one point on the drive home but I am not sure how acurate that would be. In the late afternoon we paddle in the pool and turn on the sprinklers, Matthew loves running or toddling in and out of the spray. Timothy likes spending his time emptying the pool on the veranda floor and splash up and down in the puddles, he misses the puddles from his old home. We eat ice blocks outside and watermelon. And that is pretty much our day. Here are some pics from the weekend....

Few pics from our last saturday ride. We went and saw the new horsies and then went into town to the bell dedication. Opening of new bell tower. Very groovy, had the Governor out to do the deed.
