Compasses round the park




Saturday 7th November: Warm and sunny, a beautiful day. The boys had a lovely time riding their bikes round the garden while I fed the animals and watered the plants. We drove into Waimate and got some shopping at the supermarket, then went to the library again then down to Victoria Park. We took compasses with us and had a successful walk round the park with the boys learning how to take bearings and walk along a bearing. We saw the wallabies and the birds in the aviary, and enjoyed the beautiful flowers and round back to the playground.
Back to the house for toasties for lunch followed by doughnuts from the supermarket. In the afternoon I cut the grass and gave Dad a driving lesson in the motorhome. At tea-time the boys and I headed to the fire station in town for our neighbours' 60th birthday party, while Mum and Dad had the task of feeding the lambs. The boys were superbly behaved at the party and it was a real treat to take them. We left at 8.30pm after some food so it was a late night for the boys.
