Nathan loves to dress up

Had to take a picture of Nathan today, all dressed up, trying his best to look as scary as he can. He has a cape on which is hard to see, and two belts of course!

On yer bike!

Today we bought a tandem bike thingo to attach to Mark's bike for Nathan to ride. Nathan was so excited! Mark has decided that we only need one thing more to be all set up for family bike riding - and that's ear plugs! Nathan squealed and sang and cheered the whole of our bike ride tonight. It was so cute, I wish I could have video recorded them riding alongside me. Nathan was pedaling and having a great time. It sure has made riding a lot easier - well not in some ways for Mark, it takes a bit more effort to get going with Nathan on the back. Now we need to get Cameron a bigger bike, he has grown so much in the last few months and his legs are far too long for his bike. Lucky Christmas is not far away......

Milo Cricket

Yay! It's Cricket Season!

I'm being sarcastic.... Cricket is rather boring as far as I am concerned, but Milo Cricket on the other hand is fun. We registered the boys on Friday night at Rupertswood and they couldn't wait to try out their new cricket bats and balls and put on their t-shirts and hats!









Nathan wanted to know why his bat is so small.... We had to tell him that it is the right size for him, but he was not impressed, he wants a bigger bat!

Cup Weekend @ Rosebud

We had a really good time away at Rosebud in our new van. It was so much easier being in the van than the tent!

all set up

Mark and I bought ourselves some 'Giant' hybrid bikes while we were in Rosebud, so we spent some of our time riding our new bikes.

His and Hers - corny hey?

Mark's parents and Kylie were in Rosebud too, staying about 1km up the road, so we rode our bikes back and forth between their site and ours. Poor Nathan had to peddle so fast to keep up with us on our bigger bikes! When we go to Beechworth in the new year, we hope to ride on a bit of the Rail Trail - but I think we'll have to get one of those tandem bike attachments for Nathan to use.

The boys had fun down at the beach, where they paddled in the water looking for interesting shells and buried themselves partly in sand. We also caught up Greg and Phil who came to visit on Saturday, and Chris, Joy, Deanne and Gilbert who came down to stay as well.

Nathan and Gillie

On Monday Mark took the boys for a ride so that I could have a Nanna Nap, unfortunately, only minutes after they left some workers started up their chainsaws and tree mulchers - only meters from our site! There went any sleep I might have had! UGH!
