School Holidays




Lucy embarrased to be seen with us
At the top of the lighthouse Lucy at 3 months
I was very lucky to be out and about with Nicole and 5 of our grandchildren on Monday. We travelled to the Port to the Maritime Museum. It was an interesting morning for the kids. Except Lucy (now 3 months old) all she wanted to do was sleep and feed. We do have some great sources of information in Adelaide for a fairly reasonable cost. Ryan was excited because he found his family name on the ships registers. The passenger lists for ships coming to S.A. are available on the computers set up at the museum. His family member on his dads side came out here from Hamburg in 1855. Ryan was pumped about that. It was great to see he has an interest in his heritage. Thanks to his Nanny who has compiled a family tree. All the children were fantastic and we were able to spend time with them as we didn't have the youngest two with us. They were happily in childcare together. We also climbed the lighthouse at the wharf with great views over the Port and Adelaide. It was great to be with inquisitive kids. To have the chance to do this all over again as we did with our own children is one of the joys of our life.To top off the day we visited Rachel at work to see where she goes on Mondays , the kids loved that as well. Thanks for the loan of your kids guys.
