Day 90 - Easter Morning 2013

Pouring rain this Sunday morning,  so the hunt was conducted in seconds.   The stash of candy then was brought inside and split because it was just grab as fast as you can and therefore not equal in the least!!!   The faces well ......  while waiting for sleep to come last night they decided they would decorate themselves for the Easter Bunny to see.  I am so glad that we have two more days until school starts because even though it says washable I don't think it is coming off their skin easily.   Why do my kids like body art?   Is this a sign that tattoo's are going to be asked for??

Day 89 - Baby Chicks

Day 88 - Forbes Camel Races

This Easter Weekend is the 10th annual Camel Races in Forbes NSW.   We have never seen a camel race even when we were here in Australia before.  So to have one only 20 minutes away.   Well sign us up.   These babies can move.   I was rather shocked at a speed of a camel.   Good fun. 

Day 87 - Easter Hat Parade at School

Didn't get a photo of them all at the parade.   Only stage one gets to make a hat and walk in the parade.   The girls are in stage two and three.  So they helped Owen make his hat but had to just watch.    We went over to the Happy Easter sign outside the kiddie room and got this photo instead.   Now off school for four days!!!

Day 86 - Shadows

Day 85 - Golden Light

Day 84 - Town View

Day 83 - Sunday Pool Days are Getting Fewer

The pool is getting colder to hope into.   We don't last as long in there as we use to.  

Day 82 - Bushmen's Brick Chimney

In the late 1890's Bushmen's Hill had a gold mine built here.   This is what remains of the chimney that made bricks for the building on the mine site and around town. 

Day 81 - Friday Movie Night

The adults wanted to watch Under the Tuscan Sun so the kids watched another movie on the laptop. 

Day 80 - Pizza Night

Day 79 - Bogan Lolly Shop

Today I drove to visit my girlfriends in Nyngan NSW.   About 2 hours away.   We had lunch together and talked and then went to a Candy store that sold North American and British Candy.   So Tootsie rolls and Turtles!!!!  Yeah!!!!

Day 78 - School View

This is the front of Parkes East School.  The main office and staff room are the building to the left of the kids and behind Hannah is her classroom.  In the distance the building by the tree is Owen's class room and Ciara's is behind the main office building.    I'll try a back view some other time.
