Afternoon activities

Yesterday afternoon I took the kids down to the park and a little wander down to the local creek bed. They had a great time picking up sticks, throwing rocks however it did all end in tears when (i) James accidentally poked Sienna in the chest with a stick (real accident, not on purpose accident, you know the kind) and then (ii) Sienna accidentally poked James in the face with a stick (another real accident although I didn't witness it so not sure whether real or accident but we'll give her the benefit of the doubt).

I'm doing Karen Russell's photography course again which I am loving (again) and I was working on some leading lines and composition in the playground. The creek bed provided a beautiful dare I say tranquil (before the said accidents) setting.

Hidden Valley World

This morning I took the kids to a new park (not new, but new to us) which is about 30 mins drive away but it was totally worth it. They climbed, they slid, they scootered, they had swings on tyres and spun around and generally had a great time. The Brisbane City Council has really built some fantastic interactive parks for young children in the past 5 years and I'm going to be trying out a few more with the kids.
