On The Farm

On Friday 20th Jan we finally finished packing up our house and loaded well actually overloaded the car and the campervan and headed up to Nick's brother and sister-in-laws farm. The kids were full of excitement at the prospect of having 6 whole days with Uncle Jerry, Aunty Lisa, Emma & Lucy. I'm not sure they shared the same enthusiasm tho.

Throughout the week we did more sorting and culling of clothes and stuff that wasn't completely necessary (including my hair straightener and hair dryer).

The kids loved swimming in the dam each day, yabbying, collecting the chicken eggs, playing "make up parlors", loads of singstar, rides on "Murphy" the old land rover, picking fresh fruit and vegies and on the favourite had to have been the rides on the back of the tractor.

Poor Uncle Jerry must have been looking forward to Thursday coming just so he could have a bit of peace and quiet.

We shared many laughs, memories, a few tears (mine) and loved having the opportunity to really sort out our needs
for the trip.
