Ducky park with the boys

I had a rare weekday off work today after working most of the weekend so this morning Meeks and I decided to take advantage of the beautiful winter sunshine and go to Fagan Park (or Ducky Park as it is known in our family). It is always fun in a park to see how far the boys' general coordination has improved. Mitch swings from ropes and other equipment like a monkey, whereas Sam and Lucas are getting to the point where they can climb and hang on to ropes and things - in fact they spend half their lives being told to get down from tables and benches they have climbed onto.

Here are a few of photos from the day on the play equipment:

and a video of Mitch on the flying fox:


Lucas and Sam decided to go and chase the birds

Mitch decided to join in

We also walked down to see the ducks.

No photos of the ducks because Meeks and I spent the whole time trying to contain the little boys excitement which meant keeping them from jumping in the water with the ducks and other scary birds (and eels). Unfortunately, after walking down the big hill we had to walk back up. Obviously we were all going too slowly for Mitch

 Sam was doing okay walking, but Lucas wasn't having a bar of it and Mitch was disappearing into the distance so Meeks decided to carry Lucas, at which point Sam decided he needed to be carried too.

Then there was a bit more playing on the equipment and off home after a fun morning.
