Hot tub

IMG_9341

Emptied, cleaned and refilled the hot tub this weekend having decided that we really should give it a try

chemistry lesson

It was at this point that I realised I should have paid much more attention to Mr. Jefferson's chemistry lessons.

Having defective colour vision doesn't help much either, which might explain why we all came out "splotchy" ;-)

Duck Restored

A bit of surgery and the Honiton duck is back in shape and out on the deck with her friends. Even better, the weather was right for it!

Wet Juanita Bay

IMG_9094

We had a little walk at Juanita Bay Park . 'F' was so exhausted from yesterday's tiny treks and a sleepover with D and F that he had a little 'moment' and then crashed out.

sleepy

Mum and H returned from seeking the turtles to find Dad and F asleep in a nice dry spot under a tree.

Most Serene

IMG_8917

2500ft altitude gain in 3.6 miles (oh, that's not including the quick jaunt up to Bridal Veil Falls and back) so this was a hike sans-kids.

IMG_8965

Hard work for unfit people like me, but the reward at Lake Serene was more than worth the effort.

Thanks much++ to Martin for getting it together (although compared to cycling over theHimalayas, I think we had it easy). more on flickr and on local.live.com Note: This post was updated on 2020-12-24 to remove broken links
