Family bike ride

IMG_6843

It’s been quite some time since we headed out on  family bike ride and even longer since I blogged about it. But I woke up this morning with energy to burn so it was decided we’d head out on a bike ride. To start with we headed out to the point where I walk the dogs most mornings. Check out the blue cloudless sky – it’s been like that all weekend.

Then it was up and over the first hill. Okay, so there were a few fluffy white clouds about 🙂

And on to the path the goes around the other side of the lake. You might remember it from when I walked it with the dogs a while back. Loved this gallah – talk about a birds eye view over the lake.

We stopped for the girls to have brief play at the play park and I took some flower photos.

Then it was time to continue on our way back around the lake.

and up the final BIG hill – which is a real killer at the end of the ride.

Back home we were quick to head into the pool for a swim to cool down. The rest of the day was spent by the pool, enjoying a BBQ for lunch, more swimming and later putting up our Christmas tree – because, yes, Christmas is just 5 weeks away.

Amy’s glasses

Amy has been complaining for some time about difficulty reading things in the distance. So last week I took her for an eye test and it seems her eyes are not co-operating when reading so she needs glasses (for reading or working on the computer) to help get them working together. This should also apparently ease the headaches she’s been having – which we didn’t realize was related to her eyes. She picked these herself. Aren’t they cute?

School Fun Day

Once again the girls had a fun day at school – but this time it was run by the Year 6 kids as a fund raiser. Seems like just yesterday she started in Kindy and here she is in her last weeks of Primary.

When Amy wasn’t helping man the stands she was having fun….and getting wet.

When I eventually found Christy she wanted me to watch her on the jumping castle/slides.

She also went in an obstacle race….and lost

and enjoyed some fairy floss.

We were lucky that the rain stayed away and the girls had a great day.
