Back to Suburbia!

Well, were back from the farm. We've actually been back for a week...Ive just been really lazy :D

Thought id stick in a couple of pics. First of all i should say its Rocky's parents farm - here it is, 160 acres of undulating hills:

They are very excited because they got some cows a while ago & lots of them have had calves recently. We happened to be there on the day where they were giving all the carves some kind of vaccination, a tag thingy in their ear & um....turning all the bulls into steers :( poor little things!!! not sure I'm cut out for farm life!!! Anyway, here's some cows...you know...in case you don't know what they look like ;)

Jet had lots of fun playing with Sam, he's much more responsive than our dog. We have a little Maltese cross called Oscar who doesn't play fetch & turns his nose up at any food offered to him so hes not much fun for Jet, Sam on the other hand can play catch for HOURS & HOURS!!! So they both entertained each other for quite a while:

Rocky's dad has a motorbike up there to help round up the cows (or something) which Jet was absolutely fascinated with, even before he got to ride it. His grandpa took him on a little ride around & be loved it! he does this thing where he goes "owwwwwwwwww" when he sees or does something exciting & his mouth makes an O shape, well, after the bike ride he kept that face for about 20 mins!!!

& of course Rocky had to have a go as well:

& just for fun here's a pic of me & Jet:

Jet wasn't happy when we had to leave:

Luckily we didn't see any snakes or spiders or anything else scary on this trip - few!

We're Back!!!

Yep, we made it back alive...few! We didn't make it camping the whole time though, i think it was 5 nights in total that we spent on two different islands. In the end the march flies got the best of us, there were stacks of them & they are massive, they leave you bleeding after they bite too!!! It was absolutely beautiful on the islands though. The second island we had all to ourselves & the snorkeling was fantastic, i only went out once due to my paranoia of massive sharks eating me. Cause it was just the two of us & Jet there only one of us could snorkel at once & i wasn't going to go out by myself, but some people showed up on a boat on one of the days so i went out when they were there. Rocky got to see a turtle & a ray while he was snorkeling - lucky duck! After we left the islands we went back to a caravan park & stayed in a very nice, clean, comfortable cabin.

Here's some pics:
Me in my stinger suit carrying jet in the ergo (attempting to take a photo of us myself): Me trying to be creative:

Rock & Jet on a 9km bush walk we went on to another beach that looked pretty much the same as the one we were staying on, great walk though:
Cute pic of my boys: This is a pic of a REAL great white shark, yep, you might not believe me but it is real...its just that its frozen. Some guy has a museum with a massive 18 foot great white shark & a huge room filled with all the shark attack newspaper clippings ever! Luckily we went here after we came back from the islands & not before - don't think i would have gone snorkeling other wise:

Me breastfeeding jet at sunset:

Us trying to get the sun in between our lips while kissing, very hard when your taking the pic yourself: Us again:

Another creative pic:
Jet & Rock just hangin around:

Me & Jet - I knitted the head thing while we were away (well...started it before we left but finished it while we were away) its the calorimetry pattern:

All in all it was a fantastic trip, i am glad to be back though! Now to get through the tun of washing!!! We used cloth the whole trip by the way. Just flats during the day & Bamboo Baby Behinds at night, worked really well!
