Today I started the "do the old fashioned play thing" with Charly. I figured she is old enough now and today was our first go at it. She loved it.
We got on the bikes and headed up the road along the river. Found a great place with a little stony shoreline and a few rocks heading out about a third of the way into the river itself. There were a few little waterfalls running through the rocks and Charly just thought it was great. We were throwing stones into the river and making little dams and also throwing sticks as well to see how fast they would flow down. Needless to say the enivitable happened and Charly was so excited she forgot that she didn't have gumboots on and started to wade out to get a stick from the water - oops all wet so off we went to get changed. She loved it and wants to go back again "real soon Mama" !!
After getting some dry clothes and footwear sorted out we headed into town to get some photos for Mike for a new competition and I had to take a couple of Charly as well. Here they are ...
As you will notice - hearts, pink and purple are pretty dominant at the moment ... need I say more.
Love us 3 xxxooo

Did that remind you of when you, Karl and the Porteous family enjoyed all that time down at Frasers Gully puddling about, climbing trees etc. "Old fashioned fun" - often the best - can imagine that Charly would have loved it. Oma & Opa
Oh yeah for sure - the best way to have fun really and you can keep them entertained for a lot longer ! Love me xxxooo
