We have had the pleasure of having family visiting for a few days and have had lots of fun. Yesterday was a trip to the Blue Mountains, always fun but quite a long drive.
Today was a picnic and a paddling competition on the river, en famille. While some of us went out in the paddling boats, built like tractors, two of us stayed back to look after our belongings and the food. Unfortunately, we were not vigilant enough and came under attack by the cockatoos. They got away with a bag of bread rolls and a whole cheese before we scared them away, almost risking our lives because they got very aggressive. However, the contestants in the paddle boat competition did very well, only thing was that they had left their shoes at the picnic table and had to walk back barefoot, from the other side of the lake. Did I mention that here was a lot of duck poo everywhere!!
The evening finished off nicely with a prolonged game of charades with the three siblings in the family excelling. They must just have the same way of thinking.
