School holidays are here and that means we get to spend time just having fun with no timetables for anyone young. So we gathered our girlie friends together to have some nature fun.
We took to the sea on Poppa's fishing boat and went for a ride around the harbour. it was an amazing winters day, sun shining, no wind.
This is how winter should be... always xxx
the water was soo clear
and the girls enjoyed seeing their home from a different perspective, water to land, not land to water.
our cute babies
and plenty of Native Coatsal Bush
Deserted Beaches
and Nature
To Ponder
and learning about fishing boat thingys
Thanks Poppa the girls had soo much fun xxx
After our boat ride we went to the fairy forest and lit a fire (check out the fairy hovering over Pipi dogs head, theyre both wondering whats for lunch)... but not yet...first..
Fairy Hunting
and then time for pre-cooked cheese sizzlers sausages
with plenty of Watties Tomato Sauce
and of course Marshmallows too
Marshmallow Cheeks
even Louee the kitten came for an adventure too
to hunt for creatures on a Winters Day
We love the adventures we have in this forest below our house, its an amazing cosy forest for the kids, you can see a post I did about it last year HERE. (photo below)
We come and cook our dinner over the fire and play Bush People, one of my favorite childhood games, I always wanted to be stranded somewhere so I would have to survive. I have found out recently its a trait of having a 'Libra North Node'. Soooo Fun!
All this winter fun is great but bring on spring!! I want to get planting some flowers and summer veges : )
Hope your having an adventure where ever you are
much wintery love

Fabulous! Oh, it looks so wonderful Sheree, I want to be able to do that with my girls too. Soon, soon, we will get out of this rat-race and head for the hills! By the way, have you tried toffee apples over the fire? They work a treat (require a little more patience than marshmallows, but so worth it!). Just shove your apple onto the end of a decent stick, prick it all over so the juice can run out, hold it over the fire until juice comes to the surface, then roll it in sugar and hold over the fire again so the sugar caramelizes. Repeat as many times as you like, and Voila! Toffee Apples with apple flavoured toffee...YUM!
ReplyDeleteFantastic!! I love these gorgeous pics.
ReplyDeleteSheree - Oh how wonderful! It looks like it was an amazing day :) It's so fun to think that you are in winter and I am in a heat wave here where I live. The earth is a magical place indeed! :) We expect heat of over 100 degrees later in the week - I am really looking forward to the cooler weather and dare I say it - snow! I love so your photos of the campfire and the one shot of the color of the sea... Amazing! It looks like you all had such a great time - also I am really enjoy the Wild Woman Journey - the prompts are a great guide! :) many light filled thank you's

ReplyDeleteHi Sheree, How magical! Hunting faeries... I want to come!!!! You didn't say but if you were not able to find any then I guess marshmallows are the next best thing!

P. S. A Mermaid in the Attic's toffee apples sound wonderful!!!
