January & Feb 2019

January and February were pretty quiet this year as we settled back into school and work.  Here's a small sample of what we got up to:

On the 9th of Jan, Kris took the kids fishing in the Onkaparinga River.  They didn't catch anything, but had fun learning how to bait and cast their rods (and get snagged on the rocks).  It wasn't the best fishing spot in the world, but it was quiet and let them play without annoying any serious fishermen:

We also headed back to Melba's on the 5th to spend the vouchers we got at the show:

 And then there was Cameron and I recreating and old photo:

February was Cameron's first cricket match:

and a movie viewing of my favourite movie Labyrinth at Ulleybury Winery:

We got there pretty early so the kids threw a ball around for a bit

Our spot - we started with the air cushion seats, but eventually changed to our camp chairs for comfort

It started to fill up as the sun set

and it was a pretty awesome sunset
