We really enjoyed having Granny come and stay with us during the first week of the September school holidays. It was fun being able to show her our place as we hadn't moved in last time she was over visiting us in Adelaide. We also managed to show her some of the sights, including taking a tram at Glenelg beach, the view from Mt. Lofty (might have done better if we'd picked a finer day!) and iconic Ikea.
The highlight of our time was going camping together along with friends from church. Our chosen campsite was Stringybark Forest, Deep Creek Conservation Park on the Fleureiu Peninsula. We purchased a new tent for the occasion partly because our old tent is in storage back in N.Z and also because we needed something with a bit more room now that Hosea is on the scene.
We enjoyed the unique environment of Stringybark forest, including being able to observe kangaroos grazing at dawn and dusk, seeing some beautiful wildflowers on one of the walks near the campground, and sleeping on a bed of tree roots when our lilo deflated during the night!! On our first day at camp, Murray, Hannah and I went on a 4WD trip to the nearest beach – blowhole beach. At night we had campfires so the children would have bedtime stories around the fire followed by toasting marshmallows. Magical! We even managed to fit in a few games once the kids had gone to bed.
