Camping in Tumut with the boys

Camping for the young

To put it blunt, 1.5yrs old is a bit young. Alas our littlest man missed his cot too much and cried through the night. The days were awesome though. The first day it rained heaps so they played in the puddles. The second day they got to climb all over digger and tractors. In the afternoon they went for an exciting truck ride to the top of the ridges surrounding the valley we were camping in. At the top we meet lovely little black cows, very cute. Our camping spot was on a friend's property outside Tumut, in NSW. They only have their cattle on it, no power or running water, toilets etc. So as hard as it was, it was much fun but the nights were too much. We might try again when the weather warms up again. It was around -1 when we got up on Monday and only about 4 degrees when we started back to Bathurst. The drive when really well. We got suckered in to getting video screens for the car, which help a lot but we also stop every 1.5 -2 hours and let them run around which park we can find.





will post the film for this adventure soon.

Easter Break

Wow what a lot of chocolate. We have three large cake tins full of the stuff. I think we will have to ration it as it is likely to do us in otherwise.

A super wonderful time was had by all. We had the most excellent Nonna, of who we are missed very much as she had to go back home yesterday. We had a great movie night on Friday, though it got rubished on the tomato site I still say it was hilarious, All about Steve. We had Ben's folks here as well.

Saturday we went to a lovely service at the cathedral just for kids. They had a little play and lots of singing and of course chocolate eggs. It was all done in thirty minutes. Now that is somebody thinking right. The boys where ready to go home and have dinner so it worked well.

On easter morning the bunny had left two new easter sand castle making buckets with a moderate about of eggies. This was followed by a super egg hunt out in the garden with all their toys and their friends. We had the next door friendlies around, they have a 2, 12 and 15 yrs for hot cross bunnies.

Yesterday we dropped Nonna off at Katoomba to get a train down to Sydney airport but we did drop in on the three sisters. Fab views as always and Nonna treated us all to ice cream, yum. So that was Easter. We are heading to Tumut to camp on John and Rhonda's (T's godparents along with Dan) property. It is be a laugh, boy loves dogs etc so should get some good pics.

we also went to the local honey supplier and got some tasty stuff. Good pic of the bees too.
