This weekend Puff had his second camp, in tents, overnight, with Dad. Who also had, pretty much, his second camp in tents overnight. There was lots to do. There was a nearby river, where Puff and his friends could skim stones and try and hit rocks against other rocks. It was safer than it sounds.
There was a real campfire, and the chance to do various camp things.
We also had a hike up Pigeon House mountain. It was tough (Puff was picturing some actual rock-climbing, which he’s not yet tried) but both Dad and Puff made it to the top (Puff was actually there first!)
Here we are at the top!
While we were away, Mum and Huff spent some more time with Grandragon, and then on Sunday had their own outing. Huff’s highlights were catching THREE trains (there was trackwork). Also, going on a boat (a ferry) and getting to take a picture of the sunset (redacted).
They went to the Manly aquarium, where we found out what penguin height she has attained (king penguin).
There was lots to look at, and she was able to rattle off a list of different creatures she’d seen, and even dance around behind glass a little bit.
And her reading confidence is much improved. Exciting times for both kids: lots of new things!
