Good times. Very good times. We have had a lovely few days and here are some pictures of our intrepid adventures.
Fairyland Park - Lane Cove. We have been here twice now. Lovely well trodden paths through the gum trees and boardwalks over the swampy bits. What an adventure playground for little people. Always got a stick in their hands on a walk. Always.
Sydney Marathon 2010. We watched the winner romp over the finish line outside The Opera House. We were up against the rails about 10 feet back from the tape. Very exciting as he raced in with a helicopter overhead filming his win!
The girls at the finish line - lots of clapping from Isla. Too cute!
On our adventures this morning, we packed up the car and drove 1 hour 30 mins North ish to The Entrance via a little tiny ferry at Berowra Waters. Finn & Isla strapped in a ready to go and BBQ!
The back of our car packed for 1 day of family fun and a barbie. One day I tell you! I dread to think of the luggage for a weeks camping or such.
Andy's brand new mode of transport! How exciting. I went in the car with the children and Andy followed to get a little practice in before he takes on the commute on this in a couple of weeks time.
Berowra Waters. Breathtaking area. This is where we caught a small chain operated ferry to cross about 500 yds. Free & 24 hours a day!
Andy in my rear view.
Our route on Andy's phone - plotted by the GPS.
The Chef for the day. Not bad hey...?!?
The lunchtime view from our picnic table. Wow. ....and Pelicans!
The Critics. Thumbs up from them. Daddy did well. In fairness though if it doesn't move then they will give it a go....and sometimes even if it does! Isla has progressed to king prawns. We shell them and she eats them!
Post coleslaw.
I love how Isla is perusing the view with her hands behind her back.
A good buy. Hours of endless fun....! We have 2 and they still argue over them though..
Maverick. Eat your heart out.
Wonderful beach. We shared it with a few surfers and a few walkers and could see for miles and miles.
Industrious little person.
Literally. Hours and hours....!
Sand angels.
Sometimes we had it all to ourselves.
Isla and I spent quite some time running away from and running into the waves. We had a scream! Until she fell over. In the water. She recovered well though!
Just like Daddy.
Note to self: Must blog more regularly as when I do I spend ages doing a monstrous update and have forgotten half of the good stuff. I will try. Still "camping" in doors at the moment as our container is still not here. Should be the end of this week - beginning of next week. Fingers crossed. I miss my sofa. And my bed. I am soooo over the whole air bed thing!
Sounds and looks like you are all having a fantastic time here, Sarah. Bet you've never seen such wide open spaces with so few people back home in England, lol! Love that bike - my hubby is jealous! Has Andy ridden before, or is this his first time on a motorcycle?
ReplyDeleteLove that we can have such beautiful beaches pretty much to ourselves! Andy rode a bike in his early 20's for commuting on a small bike and took his full test in the UK last year ready for our move here. He is loving riding it and I am a little jealous! :)
