We spent Mother's Day (our mother's day was Saturday due to JJ's big birthday celebration on Sunday) at Mt. Tamborine enjoying a nice 6K hike and a picnic in the mountains. While I did get some great shots of our hike, I am sorry that I did not get a single photo of our picnic - it was very nice.
After the hike we made it home in time to dress Colin as a "rockstar" for a disco party that one of his school friends was having. Again I failed to get any photos - sadly, this weekend I missed many good photo opportunities. We sprayed Colin's hair bright red, dressed him in tight black clothes and black eyeliner - he was the hit of the party. When Grant picked him up he had to wait while Colin danced one more song with a girl who had been waiting her turn to dance with him - like we didn't see that coming!
Sunday was JJ's 11th birthday party at the farm. Grant took the boys over (with their bikes and water guns) at 10 AM. Elyssa and I came up just after 12 PM. The kids ran wild all morning then had some lunch, cake and gift time. After that all focus went to the adults (the men anyway) who were busy building a flying fox across the property. There were men, trucks and a tractor involved in this endeavor. By late afternoon the ladder went way up in the tree, a line of children (and a few adults - including Grant) formed and the flying began. Damn, I wish I had my camera! There was screaming, giggling and even a few tears! We finally had to drag our kids away in the early evening.
We are feeling quite lucky these days as we have great things to do and some really wonderful people to do them with.
