Simple

Yesterday afternoon I got home from work and sat out the front of our house with Jackson. We watched the breeze move the trees across the road. We listened to the soft sound of our neighbour's air conditioner. We looked at the few clouds that floated by. I examined each of Jackson's toes. Realised his toe nails were long. So were his eyelashes. I sang a Jack Johnson song. Jackson sang back, in his own little way. Life was good...simple.

A night walking around (sometimes in circles!!)


Planning where to go.


Frank, Pete and Amanda- Ready for action!!

Just before sunset.....


...and just after sunrise!

Frank, Pete, Amanda and I did a 12 hr 'Up-side Down' Rogaine.

Step 1: Drive down to designated farm land south east of Perth.
Step 2: Get a map with a selection of controls, each worth different amounts.
Step 3: Spend an hour or so working out what the best route would be to get the most points in given time.
Step 4: Realise you haven't eaten anything, so stuff down as much food as possible.
Step 5: Begin walking at 8 pm.
Step 6: Keep walking, hopefully finding all the controls you planned to.
Step 7: Stop walking for a rest, then realise it's VERY tough to start walking again!
Step 8: Finish the event at 8 am and have a fantatsic bacon and egg roll!
Step 9: Get back to Perth- making sure you don't fall asleep at the wheel.
Step 10: REST ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ......

It was a lovely night, we did ok but really had an enjoyable time.

There's a 24 hr race in June. MMMMMM.....

Trip to the pool

Jackson went for a brief dip in the kiddy pool recently, he didn't really know what to make of it - it was certainly colder than his bath!
