"believe you can make a difference and you will"

The kids and I escaped for a few days to spend with friends who were camping down at Wisemans Ferry, the weather was perfect and sunny and warm and the kids had a ball. And now today is cloudy and overcast again and it's forecasted for more rain!!!!!! But here are my photos - the first one is us on one of the ferries to get to our destination, about as close to getting on a boat as I enjoy :), the kids are fascinated by how the ferries work, pity you aren't allowed out of your car anymore to have a closer look :(.



This one of course is everyone having fun in the boats skiing, Pat took me by surprise and gave skiing on the kids bar thingo a go, and he did it, he was so proud of himself, and Tim came down at night and had a whirl at skiing too, he hasn't done it for years, but obviously hasn't lost the knack he was up and at on his first try (the muscles are complaining today though - LOL) ...... Jess and Drew at least had a spin around the river in the boats, this is only 2 of the boats of about 5 that the group had there!!!!!!! I can only imagine the money tied up in these things.
and how cool is this jumping balloon thing, there was so much for the kids to do while we were there, swimming in a pool with fountain thingos, mini golf, playground, tennis, this jumping thing, they all had a wonderful time and now are all WRECKED, but in a good way, at least they are being super quiet :)
