A couple of weeks ago, Pete hopped across the Pond to spend 5 hours on a yacht in the Sydney Harbour work.
Andrew and I spent lots of quality time together and even had time to read books to this little one.
Once Pete was back, we were on to our next adventure. We met up with the D grandparents and Aunt E. They were in charge of Andrew for a couple of days while Pete and I escaped.
A good friend of mine from SCSU days was married up on The Range.
She was a beautiful bride and it was a fun day!
On our drive home we tried to find some breakfast, but all we found was this hockey stick. Pete has a friend in Dubai that saw this picture and joked that he would share this with the sheikh and soon they would have the world’s largest hockey stick.
Once we gathered Andrew, we arrived home to do some more landscape work. Planting this tree turned out to be somewhat of an ordeal. First our neighbors saw that we were outside and decided to drop their kids off with us to play. A few minutes later another neighbor came over with a shovel and LOTS of advice on what we should be doing differently. Pete’s phone was ringing on and on from someone from the Australian government. In the end, the tree and shrubs were planted but I was too exhausted to take any more pictures…maybe another day!
Also, I am growing tired of the landscaping work and moving on to a new project 
Right after I convince Andrew to help me clean up his toys.
Yesterday we spent a lot of time doing this and waiting for the rain to stop.
Luckily today was perfect and my brother was able to enjoy it with us. We loaded up the supplies and headed for a day at a park.
The four of us set out and gave Andrew firm reminders of the importance of remaining seating while on the canoe. He did a great job and we paddled around the lake for about 45 minutes. Once we were back, Steven said “Hey guys, want to see that gunnel jumping I was telling you about? I’ll be right back”. And with that I will let the pictures speak for themselves:
See below for a video of what he looked like…
So much for teaching Andrew about sitting down in a boat. Thanks a lot, Steven.
Andrew pulled him to shore just before the rental people came to quickly take back their lifejackets and paddles.
We had a picnic. Andrew found 2 more caterpillars to add to his collection. We played at the park.
And we are REALLY looking forward to the beginning of our summer. 4 more days!!!
