We had an awesome day out at Elliot's property doing the most amazing "old school" activities! This huge rope swing was cool (but I didn't get a go because of all the kids lined up). Lachie, Lily and Eden (yes, and Mike!) had heaps of turns. Can you see Eden's blue hat at the end of the rope right in the centre of the picture? Seriously it was a HUGE swing!
Bit hard to see Lachie here...
Bit hard to see Lachie here...And had to video at least one kid...here's one of Lily's turn (and no that's NOT me sounding srprised at the end of the video! And the kid got a shock when I told him I was videoing!)
Then over to the waterslide...Mike HAD to go first to wait in the river at the bottom for Lachie
The adventure stuff was followed by good old fashioned games - like sack races, egg and spoon races, egg throwing competitions (as you can imagine with my HATE of raw eggs, I wasn't too close for those games!) tug-of-war, balloon popping, etc., etc...Lily, far left (and as usual, managed to convince Grace to "help" her jump!)
Lachie, third from right
Strategic discussions...
And Cathie came too (after turning up here with a bunch of lilies XXX) - here she is thinking she can get away with being an "under 15 girl" against the "over 35 women" (the oldies actually won the girls comp and I was keeping Cooper asleep so couldn't help the "under 35's, but still could in another year or so!)
Such a cool day...looking forward to next year (Cathie's keen to have another go at the clay bird shooting and wants to take Mike on in the sumo suits!). Thanks heaps to Miriam and Tama, Kirsty and Dave, and all the cool people that were there!
