Our Snow trip 2013

 

   

We like to try and get to the snow each year. This year I wasn't sure that we'd make it with a baby and all but when I was out and about the other Saturday morning and saw the amazing white tips on the mountains I came home most excited to go for a trip!
When went the following weekend (YAY the snow was still there!) and decided that instead of the mountains we'd go to the Central highlands. It was the best decision and is now our children's FAV spot to go!!! (so they kept saying!!) For a start it was WARM!! Yes, it seems strange to say but the sun was sooo delightful and it was totally warm! We found a great spot to pull over and there was a paddock like piece of land that we all had loads of fun playing in!

 

 

 

 Sapphire was totally mesmerized by it, Esther had a blast and couldn't be happier,  

which was lovely after last years melt down after about 1/2 hour!!

 

 

 

 

  there was a ramp for the toboggans..... very funny....eating and tossing of the snow!!!

 

Hannah also had the best time EVER in the snow (she also usually doesn't have much fun due to very cold feet) and Sophia and Zeke, well they loved every minute too!! (though they always do!)

 

 

The girls made snow angels.... sooo beautiful!!

Of course you can't leave the snow without trying to take some home, Hannah got onto that job and filled the windscreen with that wonderful white stuff before we headed off!

Let's go fly a Kite

The other week we had many a windy day, so much so that when it was still that way on the Saturday I said to my fabbo hubbie that if all we did today was take the children Kite flying then I'd be a happy Mummy!
SO we did!!! And it was wonderful

 

 

 

 and the children had a ball,

and the weather was amazing!!!

 

 ANd the sky was breathtaking

 

 

and I love this time of year!!!!

Autumn time.... My Favourite!

I do LOVE Autumn!! I've recently joined in on the Pinterest fun and found this wonderful quote....

"Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the Autumn tree" Emily Bronte

I want to do an Autumn page for the month of May on my calender and so "told" everyone what to wear, drove to a pretty Autumn tree spot and took some photo's ready to scrap! Until I get the page done I wanted to share with you some of the pictures from the day..... Oh how blessed I am to have such an amazing family to love!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope that you too are able to enjoy some "Autumn" time and take in the wonder of the trees and all the beauty of this amazing season!
