Last weekend the kids and I headed to Baralaba for a visit. A Friday night function saw plenty of time spare on Saturday and Sunday for exploring, playing and helping. With Grace, Lachy and Olivia also in attendance there were plenty of helpers, that's for sure. First job was to pick the last of the mandarins then give the tree a good pruning. As soon as Pop appeared with the ladder, 4 kids insisted on their turn to climb to the heights of the tree. Pop stood back until the novelty wore off and his ladder was once again free. A good final haul of mandarins were picked up by the kids, with this little exercise doubling as morning tea!
This old swing is what we had a kids, still as good 25 years later!
The three big kids did a million laps around the tennis court on their scooters and bikes and by the end of the weekend had developed many little stunts and tricks.
A bit of zooming around on the motorbike.
Jos even tried her hand at chook hypnotics - with questionable results...
Once all the chooks were patted to death, Artie the cat was terrorised and Nana's house was turned into a war zone, it was time pack up and head for home. Both kids were totally spent, with Heidi asking as we were driving out "When we go see Nana again??"
