Birthday Trip

Laura and family plus Mama made the trip up to Sydney for La and Leyla's birthdays again. We had an action packed few days. Leyla had a party for her little friends the weekend prior and we had an action packed day for La at the Ropes and Tree Top Adventure park. The kids all had a wonderful time honing their new skills climbing and swinging in the tree tops.

Lucy's 1st Sports Day

In November the Bordertown Primary School held their annual Sports Day and it was Lucy's 1st one. Mama went along to cheer her and the boys on in their class events. It was a beautiful day and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. Lucy, Jack and Will are in the Red team which is called McLeod.
