Big week. Final day of the school holidays. We went to the movies, and to Canberra, and we may need a new car.
We surprised the kids with a trip to the cinema to see Lego Batman. Huff wasn’t sure about the whole idea, or about being photographed: it’s not clear which.
We all cheered up enough to take a family picture.
And the kids were excited enough to pose with Lego Batman afterwards.
We managed as part of our trip to Canberra to see some chickens at Kel’s Aunt’s farm.
After that, though, south of Goulburn the car started to overheat, leading to a long stay at a rest stop while we waited for roadside assistance and ultimately a tow-truck.
But our Canberra friends rescued us, so we had a weekend in Canberra anyway. Huff tried out this cool tricycle.
The kids said the highpoint was ten-pin bowling, but they really enjoyed spending time with our friends’ kids as well.
And then it was Anzac Day, and the local dawn service. Huff was interested in leaving this picture she drew of crosses and poppies at the war memorial but then piked at the last moment. Maybe next year!
Hopefully we will have the car back with us in time for next week’s update.
