Fishing, Fields of Fruit, and Facepainting


 During August, our family engaged ourselves with a variety of outings.  The fishing trip was a valuable exercise, not only for Sharlene (who caught some nice fish) but also for the boys who were pulling in small bream and perch the whole time. They caught their first, second and third fish that day! Zekai was the least impressed. He cried everytime he fell over in the mud but seemed to cheer up a little when he was able to throw some rocks. Wooden spoon to me, who didn't catch anything that day, except help the boys pull in their catches.




Mid-August came and I had planned a visit to Ballantyne's Strawberry Farm for the centre parents. Of course we all went and had a great time. One other centre family went but we had another unexpected benefit of going that day - Sharlene's cousin had randomly decided it was a good day for them to go strawberry picking as well. Our children got to meet their second cousins and eat a LOT of strawberries.


At the end of August, the new ‘Masters’ opened to the public. As a father's day treat, we decided to go and see what all the fuss was about. We wandered through for about two hours before we left, but not before we had scored some free fairy floss and the boys had their faces painted. 


Fun, fun, fun!
