Riding Lessons

Gem and Melissa had horse riding lessons for Christmas. Got round to it in Feb.
Unfortunately the instructor was a bit of a dragon.
The girls enjoyed some of it. Unfortunately, I'm too late posting this, and can't remember the horses names... Will have to ask Gem- she has a good memory.
We hope to try again later at a different stables!

Playground

A lazy bank holiday at a playground in St Kilda with friends and a picnic.

There's nothing better.

Working with wood

Working with wood was the title of this activity at school. Fraser came home with a few useful items...
Chopping board- I remember making a fish shaped one of these many years ago- I bet it's out in the shed at Dad's by now.
Pencil case- huge- can fit a lot in this one.
Pencil stand- for the artist in a hurry.
Looking forward to working with wood2. I need some cupboard doors please...

Snow- a while ago!

Some time ago- maybe July- we went up to Lake Mountain for a visit to the snow. There had been much nagging by the kids. Needless to say, after a surprisingly short time, the tune changed to- it's too cold!
Ah yes, the joys of the snow...

All the family

Ballroom Dance

The two of them in one picture- looking happy. Must publish this one!
Here is Gemma at the School Dance. Our friend, Lorraine, thinks she looks like Margaret O'Brien, a famous actor of old. I just think she looks very grown up!
