Put in the code, put in the code!

Huffle and I slept in past 9am. Ahhhhhhh. Small woke up later than normal but stayed in bed watching TV until around 9 too. Smallest got up at about 8:30 which for him is really good. Everyone is nicely refreshed.

It is Family Day weekend and the sun shone all day. Most of the snow melted and it was warm enough to go out again without our coats though Huffle made us put them in the car 'just in case'. We spent a really slow first part of the morning watching the All Star Basketball dunking contest and having breakfast and then went out late morning for a walk by the lake.

Today it was Smallest's turn to choose where we walked and he picked Frenchmans Bay which is normally quite busy on a long weekend. However we chose to walk away from the crowds and around the nature walk encircling the Nuclear Power Station.

TL: the poor old Post Office

We followed the path which was full of snow and ice on the way there but all melted puddles on the way back. We walked about 5 miles in all. The sun was very bright causing lots of lovely shadows and it was so warm we had to take our fleeces off. Small said he wished he'd worn his shorts! Today and yesterday were record temperatures for this time of year.

Th sky really was THAT blue

We forgot to take a ball with us so we played with balls of snow to keep us cooler. On our walk we got to the beach but couldn't get on it as it was too high up so we had a breather, took in the views and then walked back until we got to the beach we started at where we had a sit, threw stones in the water, took photos and picked up stones (I collect beach glass and one day I will make a stained glass window with my finds).

TL: we decided Smallest would set the pace on the way back but stopped and let him walk ahead for ages before we told him we weren't following. He must have been in a world of his own because he was far ahead! TR: who is tallest? Huffle says his head is bigger because it the Engine Room

Hungry and tired, we drove to a pizza place and all had calzone which was lovely. On the way home Huffle took us through a car wash. Since we've been here Huffle has used car washes four times and only successfully twice. One time he got on the conveyor belt and drove right through. Another time Something got knocked off the car and once he drove through without waiting for the dryer! Today was a successful car wash. 2/5!!! To be fair, I'm not allowed in one on my own because I forget to breathe.

 

MY BOYS

Am I taller than you yet Daddy?
