I spotted this fellow on the golf course today...you don't see many blue winged kookaburras in Perth...

It's that time of year when the gum trees shed their bark...and it ends up on our fairways...the trees are beautiful though after all the bark has dropped.

 

Pete and I had lunch with Margaret today at St Brigid Bar ( no apostrophe s)...one of our local places to eat. 

Always a pleasure to catch up with Margaret...

 

We minded Will, Ethan and Flynn while Tash and Todd attended Indiana's Christening...

The bubble blowing was a hit...

Eating his blueberries and strawberries...

Pete took this one...it's a little blurred but I like it...they are sitting quietly while eating a chocolate koala...love them all so much. 

 

Melbourne Cup lunch at Glenda's house....fabulous afternoon...Lee enjoying the pool..

Ruth sneaking into the photo...in the pool is Jenny, Lee, me and Janine...there were five more of us but the others chose to stay dry. We had a really great afternoon...

View from our balcony this evening...

 

It was a glorious day at the club for the Brady Bowl competition. Pete and I played with Jane and Les...we all played well and missed out on winning on several count backs. I took this photo as we were walking up the 18th. The clouds had been astounding all day.

 

Started the day with some early games of "Genius " with Will...he's quite clever but I'm improving.

Then played with Flynn and the Duplo trucks.

I'm so glad the boys like playing board games...I have saved a heap for them to play as they grow older. 

They particularly love playing games with mum.

Flynn loves my Wiggles shirt...

Playdough ...has stood the test of time...just as enjoyable as when my kids were young. Pete and I love playing with it too.

I'm pleased to have this photo that Tash took (she took over ten to hopefully have one good one). We are standing in Tash and Todd's back yard...it is so beautiful.

....on our way back to Perth...goodbye Cow Town.

The sun was out and the sky was blue so we decided to do a short walk in the bush on the way home.

It was in the Crooked Brook Forest near Dardanup....

Still plenty of wild flowers to enjoy.

 

The Margaret River waterfalls on Kevill Road...t'was a bit cloudy but not too cold...

Pete and the boys collected a bucketful of gumnuts  from their backyard and brought them to throw into the water. We were impressed with Ethan's throw.

Snack time... with a view.

After gum nuts it was rocks...he's waiting for Grandad to pass him some..

....realised he could find his own...

Will loves anything to do with science....in the photo he is playing with some seriously strong but tiny magnets...

Flynn with his babies.
