Chipmunk Fun

This morning after Clay's swimming lesson,  we caught up with some old work friends.  Our usual catch up spot is now closed in Monday's,  so we headed to a different play centre.  It was fantastic- more room, brighter and more activities - Clay have an amazing time!  We even ran into Katie and Olivia - nice to catch up with them :)  I actually could climb over and through some of the stuff and walk around tje areas - it was fabulous to be able to interact woth Clay instead of just watching him from the sidelines.  We have decided that's going to be our regular monthly catch up spot.

Sunday Adventures

We enjoyed another lovely morning for our Family Funday Sunday :)   We asked Clay what adventure he wanted and he asked for the beach - so we headed to The Basin.  It was a bit cool and windy, but Clay waded in the water for a bit, but then was happy to chase seagulls LOL  Afterwards we walked across to the park and Clay buzzed around playing in the playgrounds.  We finished up our wonderful morn8ng with an ice cream.

Everday Moments

This cheeky little monster has discovered the joys of a water pistol:)


Mum and I did some bak8ng for Clay's party - jam drops, choc /peppermint kisses and coconut kisses.



Now that Clay is 3 years old he's moved up a level at swimming.  Today was his first solo (no parent in the pool) swimming lesson and he rocked it!!!


Some quiet play / cute moments captured.



Helping Nanny to cook some scones.

Thrifty Thursday

Mum, Clay and I headed out op shopping on Tuesday. We went to our fave shop and I managed to find 2 pairs of swim googles for Clay - $1 each.  Since it was a beautiful day we decided to head to an op shop at the beach and have a bit of a drive around.  I didn't find anything at the 2nd shop, but mum was lucky enough to find a shirt for friend.



Clay wanted to model his new goggles LOL

Anzac Day

Craig took Clay and his mum to the parade again this year.  I opted not to go due to standimg for long lengths of time and the risk of being knocked over.
Clay still didn't like the drum band LOL  But loved the planes.  They watched the parade then walked around to see the laying of the wreaths.  Craig and Clay put their sprigs of rosemary on the cenotaph.  Afterwards they headed to the airport to get a closer look at the P51 Mustang - Craig is a huge military and airplane buff.

Park Fun

For our last day of fun before the boys headed home we decided to spend the morning at a park / playground.  We took their scooters and they had a ball scooting around again.

Beach Fun

Today's adventure was to the beach!  It's been over q
12 months since I've been on the beach, but I felt very steady on the sand and even up to my ankles in the water!!  It was wonderful to be part on the fun and not just a spectator!  

There was swimming, searching for critters in rock pools, feeding the fish in the water and playing in the sand.







Cohan and Karie managed to catch this good sized crab around the rocks!!  They released it back into thw water just before we left.
