Athletics Day at School

This year we had athletics day with a difference. Usually it's hot, today was not. Usually held at an oval across the road, today at a proper athletics park with proper facilities. The kids had great fun and even managed to earn a ribbon for 3rd place each. Tash's was for hurdles and Em's was for sprints. (Yes there are more than three kids in their grade. Here is a photo of Natasha and her friends and Em about to throw the Javalin.

Easter Art

Em became a Princess and Rhys was Batman. They wanted me to take photos before they jumped in the bath. Tash had an airbrushed tattoo on her ankle. They had a lovely Easter, ate far too much chocolate and we walked miles.

Bushwalk to the summit of Diamond Hill

We have started doing a few 5km bushwalks locally and today I remembered to take the camera. The first photo is of the kids when we reached the summit saying "we made it!" We took a picnic lunch and some snacks which the kids enjoyed. Since we have started bushwalking we have seen two kangaroos and a turtle. We are all really enjoying our new hobby.

Ballarat

We went on the 7.00am bus to Ballarat yesterday. We went to see a photographic exhibition of John Lennon pictures. It was very good. The architecture in Ballarat is lovely. Just like Bendigo!

Easter Hat Fun

The kids took part in the annual Easter Hat Parade. Here are the photos. I only bought the supplies to put on the hats, I didn't help in any other way, it's all their own work.
