Spent the week with Vic and John and Madie..

Hmm, it seems that we did a lot during our short week's stay in Sydney. Well it appears that way by the number of photos I am waiting to download whilst I write this post. There is some 135 pics from just one week. I wonder why,,, but he reason is simple,, Little Maddie seems to be in the majority of them.
Now that's not to discount Little Owen in the slightest, on a back check on pics,,, Owen is most certainly holding his own in the picture stakes.

Now, what did we do?
1. Off to Dee Why beach to check out the humongous waves.
2. Took Maddie to, and picked her up from playgroup.
3. Helped John dismantle his bike in preparation for rebuilding the group set, shifters, chain, derailleurs...
4. Shopping at the Warringah Mall.
5. Hanging out at Vic and John's new home.
6. Celebrated my birthday with Sue and Dim and Vic and Jon and Maddie.
7. A visit to Manly Dam to feed the ducks and swans.
8. Bus trip to Manly Food and Wine Festival and especially checking out the petting zoo with Maddie.
9. Drew pictures on Maddie's new (cardboard) cave.


Maddie, now at 19 months is such a delight and is able to communicate all her needs with the a mere gesture. Great fun helping out with bath time and baby sitting.
