Officially Swim Season







 So, it's officially swim season. 

Well that's what I thought last weekend. I think the temperatures soared to around 40 degrees celcius. Our pool water was still a little on the cold side (which helped on that super hot day) and will probably stay that way for awhile to come. 

We dont get a lot of direct sunlight over our garden, which is my personal pain as a home growing gardener, but it does make for the reprieve we will need in the hotter months to come. 

Right now though, this week has rained non stop! The rainy season seems to be a little early this year. 

Have you noticed small changes in your seasons as well?

The non stop rain this week helped us catch up with home school lessons. We are almost done with the curriculum for year. It has felt like a long year. 

Although we home school the pandemic shouldn't have played havoc on our lessons like it did for the school goers around the world but it somehow did. 

We are looking forward to finishing this one off taking a much deserved break and then waiting on the new year and new curriculum to be shipped. The children are quite excited about the new curriculum ordered. Change will be good.

How are you all? We hope you are keeping healthy and safe wherever you all are in the world.

The other day at Big Dam























The other day we decided to take advantage of the much needed sun shine and make our way to Big Dam for most of the day.

With my new camera in hand and Danika's new pink fishing rod that Rob gifted her for her 4th birthday we thought it was no better day to let her dip her rod in the dam for her first official fishing lesson. If you have followed our little blog for awhile you will know that both Rob and Garren are avid fishermen. They enter the yearly competitions and at the right times of the year they wake before the sun and head out to various dams around our parts to go and fish. So it only seemed fitting that our small girl be given an opportunity to decide if this hobby was for her as well. 

To our absolute delight as her rod hit the water she caught her first fish! It must be in their blood as this happened with Garren's first fishing lesson too. Needless to say - just as Rob and Garren are hooked I have to say I think our little girl is too... 

hook - line - and - sinker!!
