We spent our mornings at home and afternoons at the park. The sun was out and we had plenty of time to explore our neighbourhood. This week was spent climbing trees, climbing stairs and playing in the dirt.
The Everyday Adventure
Winter is starting to disappear and there are glimpses of warmth and the sun in spring. For me there is something about a trip to the beach that lifts my spirits. It's the sand, the crashing waves and the salty air and it is pretty hard to beat. We explored the trails through the sand dunes, watched the waves on a deserted beach and ended the afternoon covered in sand from head to toe.

It's been a week of cloudy weather, runny noses and indoor entertainment. Hours were spent at home, in the car and climbing walls. We managed a trip to the museum, an afternoon watching aeroplanes and one hundred books and board games.
The Everyday Adventure
The winter chill has set in, but the afternoon sun is enough of a reason to get outdoors. We have found a great hike for tiny legs. It is part bushtrack, part boardwalk and about 1.4km long, so we make it to the end with only 1 snack stop along the way :) The bush is full of Scribbly Gums and beautiful trees but today it was about finding the perfect walking stick.
The Everyday Adventure
The skies this winter have been clear and blue and the view to the horizon is so sharp. It is whale watching season so we headed to the cliffs of Kamay Botany Bay National Park to spot some of the biggest creatures on earth. We were lucky to see several humpback whales enjoying their trip up the coast, but the kids (and husband) didn't last too long before it was time to head down to the water to explore.
The Everyday Adventure
The perfect afternoon for exploration. We followed in the footsteps of the early European explorers and visited Captain Cook's landing/invasion place. It's a lot easier to navigate for toddlers than I'm sure it was hundreds of years ago, but we felt like the only people there. We learned about the Aboriginal people from the area and found our own treasures in the bush and on the beach. Rock pools, shells, sea creatures, flowers, rings made out of clover and a sun setting over the water.
