Day 238 - Park Adventure


This morning Henry and I headed down to the park for a photo session and although I took so many pics today that I really like, this one has to be the standout favourite. I love the fun expression on his face! Henry had a great time, mostly playing on the slippery dip, avoiding aggressive swans and running around trying every bit of equipment he could find!

Remember in the movie, About a Boy, how the kid throws a loaf of bread at a duck and it hits the duck? The duck doesn't make it apparently, and I nearly found out how easy that could be to do, today. Let's just say, that those aggressive swans made me get rid of our bread a little bit too quickly. I didn't hit one, but I also didn't think it would be a near miss when I threw it in a hurry!

Day 71 - A Play in the Park


First idea was to visit the Tuggeranong Homestead Markets, but when we arrived they were almost at the end of packing up, so we decided to try the Picnic Markets at Tharwa (mental note to visit next weekend when they are actually on). Another option was to take Mum to the fabric shop she likes in Tuggeranong but that closed early being Sunday, so we went to the park instead! Henry and Jenna enjoyed chasing the big black swan around the grass area, feeding the ducks and swans in the water and playing on the equipment. Henry had his first go on the swings, but mostly loved the slippery dip!
