April School Holidays were pretty much consumed with the twins 5th birthday....see previous postings. But we did manage to get some other stuff done like: Baking Hot Cross Buns, WOW they are so yummmmmmy when they are fresh and hot from the oven, and as this was my first ever attempt I was pretty pleased with how they turned out. Its quite a long procedure (approx 2 hrs) but now I can say I've done that!
Garry, his dad and my dad together made this awesome tree hut for the kids. Its been on "my" to do list for ages and the time was right to get it under way. Garry had to first tackle the tree as it was way to big for our garden and was shading the natives below. So most of that came down leaving the 3 large limbs as the platform for the hut. It took a full day to assemble and attach the hut in place and all we need now is a big slide so its easier for the kids to exit.
We have always wanted to try out the Hackett track (up the Aniseed Valley) and thought that the kids were probably old enough to do part of it. We hadn't been there ourselves so wern't too sure on its suitability for the little kids. Anyway we headed off (note the signpost) don't you find thats its always exciting and easier getting to an unknown destination than it is to turn around once you get there and walk ALL THE WAY BACK. Don't get me wrong we loved it but it was probably a bit much to expect from a 5yr old x 2. We got there and back though and the Wispering Falls were definately worth the winging, protests and the "can you lift me ups"!!
