Day out at the park

Today we went back to the lovely park at Samford and stayed there for 4 hours. We sat in the sun and the kids rode their scooters, played footy, learnt dance moves and made up games. We had sausage rolls for lunch and took the cupcakes that Sienna and I made yesterday amongst a few other goodies like lamingtons and snakes (of the edible kind). We are so very lucky to have such beautiful weather in winter time in Queensland. Yesterday however the wind was so wild that it was an indoor day but today was glorious and 21 degrees.

Playground fun

Yesterday when we were at Samford we stopped at the fabulous playground which has been designed with the bush in mind and you still feel as if you are in the country. Rustic fences and tall trees make it a beautiful place. They have this amazing swing set which has about 5 or so swings all swinging into the middle. Surprizely, even though they all look as if they are going to crash into each other they don't reach. Normally you have 2 swings and all the kids want the swing at the same time. There are lots of swings in this arrangement and because they all faced into the middle all the kids were having a big conversation which wouldn't normally take place when 2 swings are side by side.

Sienna was "rock climbing" on another section of the playground and slid back to the ground as she lost her footing and hurt her ankle and ended up in tears. It's a bit sore still today so she must have landed pretty hard on it. Apart from the minor accident we had a great afternoon.

Grandparents are wonderful

We took a drive to Samford which is 10 kms from here, very rural and I managed to get the kids to sit down for a couple of pictures with Nanny & Pop. I never seem to get that "one" of all 4 of them together but we had fun today and I was pretty happy with what we got. This was after the long play on the playground of course and not before.
