We have been quite busy with social engagements these past couple of weeks. This week we enjoyed having Rachel, Tim, Melissa, JJ and Denver over on Saturday night. On Sunday we had a great time BBQ'ing in the park with Penny, Rog, Amy, Lexi, Andrew, TJ, Sienna and Bohdi. We also found some time Sunday midday to hang out and visit with everyone at the farm. It was all a lot of fun as usual. The kids ran and played with anyone and everyone they could. Luckily, there are no shortage of trees to climb in Australia!
On Saturday we got an early start and drove a little over an hour (inland from Byron Bay) to hike to Minyon Falls in Nightcap National Park. It was a beautiful 7.5K walk. Make sure to check out the photos of the falls!
The boys are currently out of school for three weeks. We are keeping them busy with some "mock home schooling" over this break - I think we are all really enjoying it! Funny how much better the behavior is when the mind is not bored. The last few afternoons have been spent on the beach. Not too bad for the middle of winter! We love the beach, we walk from our house and spend hours digging and making things in the sand and on the dunes. My favorite thing about the beach......no one gets in trouble at the beach. It is a good two hour break from having to hear myself say things like stop that, leave her alone, get away from him, put that down, be quite....... I love the beach!
Next week is our big trip to Hervey Bay. We are very much looking forward to seeing a new area, taking a day trip to Fraser Island, seeing the Humpback whales (who winter in Hervey Bay - we have already seen many of them from our beach as they are headed down in large groups) and the endless other things we will undoubtedly encounter. I will get back to you with all that news.
