exploring :: south gippsland railway...

Father's Day snuck up on me and I hadn't made any plans for this wonderful Dada. 

I asked Huckle what we should do for "Happy Dada Day" and he muttered something about a train and fried rice. Hmmm. I said I'd see what I could do.

It was rather serendipitous then, that at a toilet stop on our way home the day before I noticed a sign for the South Gippsland Tourist Railway. Bingo!

Some sneaky research that night and I had me a plan.

We had such fun watching the countryside roll by. We saw wallabies, crazy train chasing dogs, waterfalls and endless rolling green.

I love adventuring with my boys.

If you're ever in our neigbourhood, I strongly recommend it. Jump on at Korumburra and hop off at Loch for a few hours fossicking through the antique stores, then catch the little blue wonder back again in the afternoon.

Have you caught a cute train lately?

What marvelous adventures do you have planned for the weekend?

Happy weekend folks.

daffodils...

How wonderful it is to go adventuring.

It is especially wonderful when you happen upon hectares of daffodils!

We found these pretties on our way to Mt Worth.

Can you imagine my squeals of delight?

What's happening in your world today?

We're pottering about at home. Trying oh so hard to tick at least one thing off the never ending list.

Perhaps building a block city or two and I'm contemplating cooking fish pie for dinner. We'll see if that goes to plan or not... we might end up having omelette. 

One can never plan too far ahead with small children. They often have other plans. Ha ha.

Oh little Arlo man.

You are so squishable, I can't get enough of you.

You just adore you brother, despite the fact that he hits/donks/pokes you constantly.

You give us big gummy smiles all day long.

You will most certainly be ready for real food soon.

You stare at my food as I eat and often try to grab it for yourself.

When I don't let you have it, you chomp furiously on your blankie instead

You weigh approximately 8 kilograms!

We call you our little chunca munca/pygmy hippo/wombat.

I could stare into your deep blue eyes all day long.

You are just adorable.

We love for forever and a day.

exploring :: mt worth state park...

A spur of the moment adventure. The best kind.

Last week we visited Mount Worth State Park, about half an hour away from home.

The forest was ours, there was not another soul about.

Fresh air, adventure and time together as a family.

Perfect, really.
