The garden at Epi and Carol's

As a kid, it's a great feeling to have your dinner and still be able to play outside afterwards. That's what my boys have been experiencing over the last two weeks of the Christmas holidays. They've spent them with Epi and Carol (not Lewis, he and I went to pick up the boys yesterday so unfortunately for him, he only joined in on the last night, but I'm sure over his childhood he will have many of the same opportunities as Daniel and Oliver are having now!). The old swing broke during their holiday, so a new one was purchased and installed and a great time was had by all.

Tree climbing was also the go last night,although Lewis didn't last long up his tree.

Henry and Daniel are ol' pros.And, of course, there had to be some twilight cricket played.

The Wind in the Willows

Helen gave Daniel and Oliver tickets to the Australian Shakespeare Company's play "The Wind in the Willows".
We began the day with a ferry trip into Circular Quay.We had some morning tea while we waited for the performance to begin.

It was a wonderful play which took place in two locations in the Royal Botanic Gardens. We highly recommend it.

After the play we met some of the cast. This is Daniel and Oliver with Weazel

and with Toad.

We then stayed and had a picnic lunch.

There were plenty of photo opportunities.

Thank you for a wonderful day Helen.
