Father's Day

Well it might as well have been Mother's Day. We had no fathers to go and visit, mine being in Ballarat and Adrian's father was in Queensland doing something with "Steam", what else! So after the kids gave Adrian his presents that Micayla had bought from the school stall and the hand made cards and bookmarks (Adrian doesn't read), Adrian, the kids and I went around for lunch at Scott and Tania's. We had bacon and eggs and pancakes with strawberry jam, fresh strawberries and cream. Mmmmm, mouth watering.

After lunch we took the kids out to the BMX track to ride their motorbikes. Micayla is becoming really confident now and went over these little moguels, but came a cropper and the bike landed on her leg. Apart from a rather large bruise and her pride hurt, she was fine. Lucky though for knee guards. We then let them play on the playground before going back to Scott and Tania's where we sat nice and cosy in front of the log fire and nibbled all afternoon, chatting while the boys watched the car racing and drank beer. The kids were great, I can't believe there was actually no fighting and we had a peaceful afternoon. We ended up staying for leftover dinner with them before going home to put the kids to bed, after Australian Idol of course. I ate so much that day, I don't know where I put it all.
