Charlie, Frogs

We have noticed a lot of changes in Charlie lately, he really is getting to be a big boy...still cute as a button though.

In April we all packed up the camper trailer and headed off on yet another home school camp, this time however Danny came along which was great. We went to the Otways for a bush camp, and was very much more our style of camp. There were some great people there too, new friends and old. The weather was mostly good to us, but when it rained it poured. Kids had a blast, it was a really great camp, can't wait to go again next time.

Eli and I had a nice early morning walk and watched the sun rise.

We got to do some felting which was heaps of fun.

Noahs "crystal cave", inside the flelt is a crystal which you cut open to reveal.

Charlie loved it too, and why not, water and soap he needed a bath anyway.

A koala came to visit our camp site.

Camping bath.

We went for a walk down to the beach, it was really nice, very wild.

sand dunes were a hit.

sandy apple, nice

The sea was very dangerous so we had to watch the kids very closely, even right at the edge big dumpers would come out of no where.

The Otways is such a beautiful place, we look forward to going back there again one day soon.

Phillip Island Adventure Home Ed Camp.

We attended an "Adventure" homeschool camp at Phillip Island, The boys had a blast and were kept very busy and I was kept very UNbusy which was a nice change, with meals cooked for us and staying in dorm rooms, it was a relaxing change for me.

Josh did the High swing

Charlie just mucked around with some other little folk and rode bikes and just was cute in general.

And a spot of canoeing, even I had a crack at that one, it was nice to go out with Noah for a paddle

Noah and Wilson

They also had a great time in the pool and the games area, we went on a night walk and went to see the penguins (never again), and rode around on their bikes.
