race day....



raty & moley messing about in boats...

We weren't in boats but were instead playing with paper boats- we had decided earlier in the week to head out to our fav creek and have a boat race!!


one of the favourites to win the race today the BFG...


the whistle blew and they were off...


it looked like we had an earlier leader...


but then the rapids struck and a few boats became casualties...all crew survived with nothing more than a few bruised ego's....


and we had a clear winner- Oskar's boat which had sat back in the field and only powered on after easing through the rapids and continued on - there was a rumour that advanced technology had secretly gone into design and construction with the bottom of the boat made 100% of plastic to aid with water proofing - quite clearly a design master compared to our 100% paper constructions!!!


we all got over that quickly enough and continued on to discover the joys of rock jumping- and slipping!!




and you just cant beat a grand event of rock throwing- which if dad wasn't playing Oskar seemed to excel at also...


sooo photogenic - unlike me!!!



oskar found this heart shaped rock and gave it to me "cos I can use it while my heart is sad at the moment"  - aawwwhhhh- he gets me!!

I love rocks! Love the randomness of nature.

testing out the functions of my little play camera...


so in the end we all had a marvelous time and left our fav spot feeling refreshed and happy!!- Headed off for some yummy lunch and book shop browsing then home again.
Hope everyone had a great day also!
