Down on the farm

My mum and dad took the kids to Uncle Joe's farm for the weekend. They had a ball. Ella got on the horse, brushed away any help and grabbed onto the saddle and mane, ready to go! Alex chased a lot of cows. He got into the chicken coop too, but one of the chooks took a flying leap at him and he decided he'd be better to torment them from outside the cage.

A weekend away

We went away for the weekend. Bill had found a great hotel at the beach and we spent four sunny days and quiet nights just taking it easy. The hotel had a fantastic roof-top balcony with bbq facilities and a big area for the kids to run around. Alex kept wanting to play cricket. Ella got astro-turf burn on her knees trying to keep up with Alex as he ran around.

Tree Schrogs

Bill, being the responsible father figure that he is, taught Alex how to climb trees on the weekend. Thankfully our son has a cautious streak and once he no longer could hold Bill's hand he would decide it was time to come down. I believe this is natural selection at work. Oh, and the 'schrogs' is how Alex says 'frogs'.
