twenty days

We left the city twenty days ago now and we've already had some adventures that, while we love some of the opportunities we have in the city, they don't compare to those experiences we have in the country. 

For starters the kids have asked about "movie night" (a Friday tradition) twice but we haven't turned on the tv. There have been a few moments when we could have but the kids just seem to work through the restlessness. 

J took the big kids to the cinema in Merimbula the other day where they watched the Aussie flick, Paper Planes. He'd been planning to take them and B, 6, particularly enjoyed it as he's been constructing a lot of planes lately. For days the ground has been littered with different makes and models of paper airplanes. 

On the way home J and the big kids came across this little guy precariously placed by the side of the road. He was rescued. I assumed that he's a tortoise but according to B, who did some research, it is a Eastern long-necked turtle. He made a new home down by the dam. 



Despite never having shown an interest previously J has taken up slack lining - a great core-strengthening & meditative activity that is transportable as long as you have two trees. It's fun for all the family!



The night air is filled with the chorus of frogs on the farm & this little critter was discovered this morning.
