January 15, 2009
It's been a fun packed stretch of days. Have to admit I'm a bit exhausted, but all well worth it. Wednesday we went to the movies to see BOLT. Our little review group gave it a solid thumbs up. Thursday we hit the water park--Jordan spending the whole day belly down in the water with her new snorkel--Bryson running mad through the water slides and fountains. Friday we went to Litchfield park to see the waterfalls during the wet season. The strength of the flow was certainly impressive maybe even more so having seen them when they were their weakest during the dry. We were able to take in a swim and picnic while there with Detroit and Shelby and gang as well. Saturday we headed back to the wildlife park with our new friends from down the street--Jeff, Shoni, Ashleigh, and Katie(who will be in Jordan's class in February). The kids were stumbling tired by the end of that day, but Matt headed out that night to see his first rugby game. Saturday started out with Bryson and Matt heading to the beach with friends, and finding some beautiful new shells. Jordan and I stayed here for a playdate with another friend. Then, in the afternoon we had an impromptu swim party ending with Jordan and I down the street for a horse and pony ride. It's nice to know your neighbors!!!! Today we headed to the museum. What a treat that was--the kids are actually old enough to understand that they can't touch everything, and young enough to be totally excited to see what's around the next corner. Yesterday Matt and I had a fantastic time wake boarding at Manton Dam. The kids loved riding in boat and swimming at the beach. Maybe those days of snowboarding and skateboarding translated to the water, or he just has some natural ability, but Matt did terrific. I had my share of falls, but managed to get up a few times thanks to alot of good coaching from the guys from C watch. Today it's recovery day--I hurt just about everywhere imaginable. Plus, it's time to pack. Tomorrow night we leave for Tasmania Yeah!!! Tell you all about that when we get back.
