Summer and friends

Pizza fun with daddy. The kids just love the time with Leon making the pizza dough. I normally run as far away as possible so I don't see my dining room table and also so I am not roped into cleaning.

Devil Den is a nature conservation park. It always reminds me so much of England. The kids love running around and exploring. They found orange mushroom, hairy caterpillars, picked up sticks and skipped stones. Good fun.

Kara has been quite hard work lately. I keep thinking its a stage. Leon says she is just like me???? Kara was invited to her first sleepover on Friday. Poor sausage was so anxious. Totally no pressure from us. Anyway she went had dinner, watched a movie and came home. So she was very happy. I hated been away from home so could so relate to where she was coming from.

Stephen came to visit and it was so wonderful to have him. I had to work Saturday morning, so Leon, Stephen and kids hired double kayaks and played on the sound. Then it was the Ginger Man for one of their 100 selection of draught beers. Chicken wings to put anyone on fire.

James and Carmen are staying at the same complex we stayed at when we arrived one year ago. When i think back how I felt a year ago and how I feel now. How much I have learnt and experienced. It was a good reflection. It was great to share a fantastic day with Carmen and kids
