We Went Camping In The Kanangra-Boyd National Park

Spectacular is it not? Though of course these photos don't do justice to what it was like to stand on edge of that chasm and contemplate your own mortality, as it were.

Pretty humbling, and if like Tash and I you're afraid of heights, then nerve-wracking as well. Though not as bad as the time I climbed Tintagel Castle. Now that sucked.

We went camping last weekend with four other families from Lawson, and on the Saturday took the short drive from the Boyd River camping ground to Kanangra Walls.

Here we look east past the Kanangra Walls on the right towards the Blue Mountains in the distance, not so far as the kookaburra flies.

It was a great weekend - we saw this cute little wallaby, as well as a mob of kangaroos, plus one night a few of us were lucky enough to see a greater glider.

Easter Hat Parade Birthday Extravaganza

Thought it was impossible to dye your skin with food colouring? Well think again! Here is young Zac modelling a blue Avatar-style skin look achieved with food colouring mixed with shampoo, poured over the hair and allowed to run down his body while his clever Dad ran off to get the camera. An amazing achievement and great parenting. It took only an hour to clean his skin with shaving cream - handy household tip!

We were hoping to dye Zac's hair for the Easter Hat Parade at Lawson Public School, but sadly only Tash got to wear a hat this year and Zac's hair gel didn't hold either.

But it was a fun morning, and next day was the start of the Easter weekend. Tash had her 7th birthday on Easter Monday, and below are some of her friends and Zac playing Musical Statues in the living room at Badgery Crescent, with our cool neighbour Zoe from up the road doing the music. We played Pass the Parcel, Egg and Spoon Race, Sleeping Lions, unsuccessfully tried a game of String Surprise, and had an Easter Egg hunt in the back garden.

All the kids went wild from eating chocolate and drinking lemonade and then went home to tear up their own places as well.
