Huff turned 9 this week! She had asked her brother – when he’d asked what gift she would want – for a banana. So he obliged.
There were other gifts as well, including this cardigan: hand-made by grandma (no mean feat at the moment).
Dad took her out for breakfast on Saturday, and we played “Mr Squiggle” with her crazy pom-pom pen.
After that, we went to Sydney Zoo. Thanks to the generosity of a cousin, and fixed booking times for tickets, we were there on a bit of a rainy day, which made for a less crowded experience.
There was a little bit of shelter around the place, including this zebra chair (chairbra)
This was perhaps more reflective of the experience of the day, but the umbrellas stood up quite well.
Puff managed to pose for a quick koala photo.
And the kids are as engaged as ever at church… well: this was a sly photo, so they are actually more engaged some of the time!
