It’s the end of the school holidays! With Dad’s different work commitments and needing to look after a puppy now, we didn’t go away on holidays this time around but we managed a few local adventures.
Many years ago (before even being married) Mum and Dad saw a show called “Slava’s Snowshow”, and then saw it again a few years later. When mum read that it was back in Sydney, at the State Theatre, we decided to surprise the kids with tickets, and not really tell them what it was (to some extent it defies description).
Here’s Puff posing for a photo in a fancy chair at the State Theatre.
Puff enjoyed the show, and the ability to have a paper snowball fight afterward.
Huff enjoyed the show and the snow even more.
Here they are posing for the commemorative photo afterward. It was a great family outing.
Mum had wanted to try out a cafe in Haberfield, and we could tell it would be dog-friendly (Pippin was resting under the seat after a walk in the hot sun).
Afterward, Dad and Huff went to see “Marcel the Shell with Shoes on” at the only cinema that was still screening it that day (the last weekend of the holidays). It was a very pleasant space to watch a film, and Dad and Huff both enjoyed the movie, a documentary-style story of a talking shell who lives in an AirBnB and his quest to find his family.
And then suddenly it was time for Huff to start high school.
Even though Puff started year 10 the next day, because Wednesday is early swimming lessons we thought we would just set up the photo for her first day.
They were, eventually, enjoying the photo process.
Huff was confident heading in to high school. Many new adventures await!
