We are properly back into the school routine, including early morning swimming lessons (while Dad had a day off, and went to the blue mountains).
Huff is now 11 years old! For her birthday she wanted to go and do a high ropes course. Here she is doing the practice flying fox.
It’s easy in the training course, but things quickly get real. Huff and her friends climbed up and did a great job on the course with Dad and Puff supervising / trailing.
Puff was useful to have on the course as he had a natural grasp of how all the different climbing apparatus fit together.
Dad was glad he went along, having never worn a climbing harness before, but spent the next few days with sore arms!
Huff was given a new dress by a friend (and if you look carefully, earrings from another friend).
Aunty C made a delicious giant birthday brownie for Huff.
And we had these helium balloons to help her remember her age.
Pineapple continues to make his presence known in the family.
Puff, meanwhile, is all about the 3D printing at the moment, working out how it all works and what can be done with it – it’s great to see his mind active on a new challenge.
