week 708-709 / week 580-581

Two weeks of holidays, stretched out with two long weekends and a bonus pupil free day; back to school tomorrow. 

Here’s the back of the car when we were about to head to Katoomba for Easter Convention. We even managed to bring pineapple along, as we were staying in a pet-friendly place. Huff has ginger beer for long car trips to settle her stomach.

Dad and Huff walked up to Leura from Katoomba together; there wasn’t much complaining, so Dad was a bit heavy-handed with the reward desserts.

The next day, to meet up with an old workmate, Dad and Puff walked over to scenic world, pausing to grab a bubble tea from a local Katoomba store.

Puff had a bit of homework to do; Pineapple was glad to be out of his cage.

Puff and Huff had a great time in the kids program at Katoomba Easter Convention.

After the weekend we went to the REFRESH conference at Stawell Tops that Dad’s work was running.

Puff was on the AV desk for the open mic night, and did a great job managing the desk for the various acts.

When back in Sydney we went out for a cafe breakfast. Mum and Huff shared Mum’s poncho.

Dad and Puff didn’t think to bring jumpers.

Sunday, Dad and Huff had some father-daughter time. We went for ramen.

Then we went for gelato.

Dad, a soft touch, agreed for Huff to buy fairy floss from a vending machine that spins fairy floss. She was impressed.

And the macarons had a lot of food colouring.

On Anzac Day, Dad and Puff went to watch the dawn service together (though there was a mix-up with the start times).

And Huff and Dad went to watch a movie in the final embers of the holidays.

Overall, it was good to spend some extra time together as a family.
