Flying Fox

There is a really good flying fox at a park near ours called Anzac Park. This is Annie trying it out!

Learning to play frisbee!

This is Annie catching the frisbee - she has been keen to play for ages, but has lacked the dexterity until now.

Oarsome Family ;-)

OK, so we aren't exactly keeping up with the Pearse's level of kayaking and white water rafting ;-) but hey, this is pretty good... and is harder to do than it looks!

I had a go, and mainly got stuck in the water reeds. This is from our Byron Farmstay again - the lake provided heaps of entertainment. Apparently you can swim in it in the Summer, so we might go back to try that out.

Annie Feeds the Goat

This is from our trip to Byron at the Farmstay - see the Picasa Album for really nice pics of that! This poor goat finally got fed after much deliberation about whether to throw it, or hand-feed it :-)

Gymania

This is the children trying to do various gymnastic acts in our local park. Ollie has a couple of attempts at a handstand, and then, not to be out-done, the girls rush to join in and show off :-) I love the intense preparation before Annie's cartwheel...

Beats the Drummer from Def Leopard

Here is a little show of Annie beating the drums in the kitchen. She works herself up into quite a fervor at one point! I think she was only about two in this video...

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

This is Annabelle singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star :-)

The Workers Flag

I thought I would start off this blog of our family videos with the classic of our three children singing the Workers Flag. Sometimes at night, when I am too tired to sing the lullabies (I just do a basic little Brahms number, usually ;-) , Ben sings the children this song.

After a short period of confusion wherein Oliver referred to it as the Red Kite and all kinds of other titles, they picked up the words, and could sing it really well. This is them doing exactly that.

Charlotte was 7, Oliver 5, and Annie two and a half.
