2006-09-05 Australian Fathers Day!


A: It was Fathers Day in Australia on Sunday! I was looking forward to it all week! I made so many presents for Daddy, and gave them to him on Sunday!

I was so proud! I have him a drawing of me and Daddy which was signed by me, a Chocolate Ape, another smiley face made by me, and I wrapped up the green bat-and-ball ball for him, which was my favourite! He was so happy to receive all of them!

It was a gorgeous day today – soooo sunny! Mummy went for her swim while Daddy and I went to the park and did so many things! We started off eating snacks on the bench looking at the lake and the birds, picking out things we thought looked strange. Then we did some tree climbing over the lake which was a bit scary, and I got a little wet. Then we did some sprint races ready for the big race this Friday. Then I did the BEST bike riding ever – Daddy let go for at least 5 seconds, and I was riding on my own! WOW! Daddy and I then played ‘lava’ in the park – this game involved climbing around the park, not touching the ‘lava’ (sand), but we were not allowed to use the normal paths – it was so much fun, and I did the monkey across the flying fox bar, which was so high!

When Mummy picked us up, we went home, and then went for Dim Sum, as Daddy wanted a special lunch! YEAH, duck skin!

On Saturday Hannah was meant to come for a sleepover, but I was not well at all, and had a temperature. Instead, after we went shopping and had a chicken/omlette lunch, Mummy and I went to pick up a magnolia from the nursery near us, then we went for a bike ride from the end of Ocean Reef to Burns Beach! I was behind Daddy, and we did ‘rollercoaster’ whenever we went down a hill really fast! We stopped at Burns Beach, and I had a rainbow ice cream. We went to the park, Daddy did a big jump, then we got cold, so we rode back – it was amazing!

C: Finally finished planting our plants below the back porch – it looks really nice now compared to when we moved in. Steve wants to grow some vegetables from seedlings, but I think he is a little ambitious!

S: Fathers Day was amazing! We had such a nice day, and it felt really special! The bike ride on Saturday was brilliant! It was really wild, and so peaceful compared to the Trigg pathway! It will be amazing when everyone visits us this year! You never lose sight of the sea - quite breathtaking!
