Gardening, a successful day!

My arms were not happy about my gardening efforts today!  I think I had a slight allergic reaction to something!  Note to self: wear sleeves that cover all my arms next time!!  But at 20'C and sunny, how could we not spend the entire day in the garden with the kids?!  It was just beautiful!  We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place & I think we will all be a little sad to leave, but we will be seeing so many other beautiful places on our trip, I am confident it will be worth it!

Amelia would have much preferred to be inside reading today, or watching a movie, but Oliver & Luca enjoyed themselves thoroughly, despite Luca falling down a step and scraping his nose.  We got so much done, it felt great to step back and look at our progress!  By mid afternoon we had completed much more than we anticipated! 

Due to having such a successful day Tony suggested we take the night off and go to Docklands to watch the fireworks & so off to the city we went!  Amelia and Oliver said they were too loud, but enjoyed the colours, and Luca was completely impressed! I couldn't help but think what a waste of money they were and how it could be better spent on the community, but I was grateful to be spending family time together & the children enjoyed seeing the luxurious looking boats docked! They were also fascinated by the changing colours of the ferris wheel.

All in all a wonderful, successful, enjoyable day!
