Family fun :)


When Josh was probably 6 months to 18months old, we used to go on 'family fun' evenings. We'd take a quick and easy meal and go eat by the water somewhere (can you tell that both Aaron and I grew up on the coast or what...we both miss living by the ocean. BUT we both love it here too...so here we are). Anyway...as usual, I digress...


We started doing it with the idea that we'd keep doing it, but of course life got in the way somewhere and we haven't been in over 2 yrs :(

Well, tonight I felt like fish and chips, so we went and had that for dinner, then took the boys to feed the ducks and fly the plane that Anthony sent Josh for his birthday. It was perfect. The weather was beautiful, there were hardly any people around and the boys had an awesome time (we even had Mr Whippy ice-cream cones!) . I went nuts with the camera (of course) and took 82 photo's - trying to get some good ones. It's much harder with 2 kids to get good photo's than it was with just one!! lol (I did manage to delete the dodgy ones and bring the total photo's down to only 33...
This is what Kai looked like most of the time that Aaron wasn't holding him...trying to run off as far (and as fast!) as he could, all the while ignoring me calling him back...


Malakai also followed in Josh's footsteps by eating more of the bread than he gave to the ducks :)


So it was the perfect end to a really good day. After we helped out with cleaning up a friend's yard this morning, we sorted through everything that was in the garage and I am excited to say that we're giving away more than we are keeping :)

I had a nap cause even though I really did nothing all day (Aaron did the work in the friends garden while I chatted, and mum went through all the boxes while I gave my input on what we'd keep or give away), i was exhausted :( and it meant I had to miss a friends baby shower...I'm really looking forward to having some energy again...one day!

Thankfully having the nap meant that I was ok for most of the time at the park. So that's cool. I'm going to go have an early night now :)

Hope you're all having an awesome and blessed weekend!
