A trip to the snow

The Birds headed up to Wodonga last weekend for a visit with Phil, John, and the Parker family. We also headed up to Mount Buffalo for our first play in the snow! The kids were very excited to be going (all three of them), and we could barely get them to go to bed the night before.


Mount Buffalo is just under two hours from Wodonga, and whilst not a particularly great place for skiing, it's just perfect for toboganning! Lucas and Seth had a ball going down the slopes, and only insisted their dads carry the toboggans back up the hill for them only half the time. Alicia had a lot of fun on the toboggan too, up until the point where she fell off, and got a face full of snow. She discovered (the hard way) that snow is nowhere near as fluffy and soft as portrayed on TV. After that, she was more interested in making show men.

Aside from that one accident, we all had a great day.

PS. Here's my first attempt at uploading a movie - cross your fingers!

Miscellaneous

Some miscellaneous pictures of the family.

We've been to the zoo, zoo, zoo. How about you, you, you?

The Birds are wasting no time in getting to know the local sights of Melbourne. This weekend, we went on a trip to the zoo with some friends from Albury - Chris, Kim and their little boy Bailey. Bailey wasn't terribly interested in the animals, what with being only 8 months old and all, but Lucas and Alicia more than made up for Bailey's indifference. Melbourne's weather was reasonably nice to us for the day (only a couple of light showers), and all in all we had a great time.

Helping Daddy with work

Lucas found his way into my office recently (it's certainly not hard to find!), and decided to help me out a bit with my upcoming deadlines.
