The daily grind!

The first few weeks in February have found us getting use to going to school and trying to enjoy beautiful evenings and weekends. We were invited to a dinner party at Jane (whom David works with) and Stuart Bollom's house. They wanted to give us a real Aussie experience and so the menu included lamb and to our surprise........Kangaroo! It was a fantastic evening.

McKenna has been taking tennis lessons every Saturday. She is really improving and more importantly loves it! There is a playground beside the courts and trees that the girls like to climb.

We spent an afternoon at the Bowral Swimming Pool. It was 24 degrees outside, too cold for the locals and the pool was empty but we enjoyed ourselves.

We went back to Fitzroy Falls and hiked a bit farther along the trails then the last time. We found another little waterfall and an amazing view of the  escarpment.

We are blessed with sunsets like this weekly. What is missing is the deafening sound of the crickets and the birds roosting for the evening.
