Happy birthday Anneke

Anneke is 14!  I hope you have lots of adventures and fun this year.

The Summer Garden

 My favourite vegetable - Orange Marrows

Tighe's favourite tomato - yellow pear

 Butterflies and dahlias.

 The lavender has a good crop this year, looking forward to drying some.

This blue flower is in the fish pond, I don't know it's name.

The fur children

Hadgrid adopted us last winter. He enjoys sleeping on Quinn's bed, and the trampoline.

The white thing finds the most uncomfortable place to sleep.

Sunshine loves potato chips.  Just rustle the bag, and she comes running

Gone bush

 The shelter has a name.

Charlie Brown enjoyed camping as well

Young sparrow being looked after by his Dad

 The cocketeils came camping as well.

Jack was determined to sleep in the hammock, and it decided to rain. Luckily he had his gumboots!

 Another fabulous day in the bush, lots of exploring, bike riding, quad bike riding, and walks.

 Of course, we had to have another bomfire, and more marshmellows.

Starry starry night.

 More adventures. Exploring the forest and finding the waterfall.  Needed the rope, as the escarpment was slippery, steep, and there were blackberries and gorse.

 All the trusty steeds waiting patiently.

 Super hot day, so cooling off in the waterfall is a perfect plan.

 Anneke managed to get her toe bitten by an eel.

 Quinn needed to warm up, as the water was refreshingly civilised.

 There are heaps of blackberries, and picking them is part of camping.

The Shelter

Getting water for washing and the toilet

 Two boys got distracted, and decided to divert the stream, and enlarge the swimming hole.

 Roasting marshmellows around the fire, until the packet got thrown on the fire!
