Someone warned me we'd be busy once we got on the merry go round of activities for G&T children! And we have been very busy!
We've been to the fantastic and inspiring Science Camp at Morriset held by the NSWAGTC where the children met other like minded science enthusiasts and did workshops on probability, space, astronomy and water rocket building. The location was fantastic and we'll certainly be back next year! The kids were so proud that their "eggmonaut" survived the rigours of being blasted into the air nestled deep within "The Shaky Shark". (see picture above)
The following weekend we hosted a Lego Enthusiasts get together with a couple of new friends. There was wall to wall Lego in the lounge room as our guests brought their fabulous creations to show and tell. We didn't really play much with the NXT set as it really needs a little more structure. We'll work on that for next time.
This weekend a friend invited the kids fishing locally. I went along as I'm not really sure how the kids would cope if they actually caught something! I don't know what I'd do if they'd caught something. But as is usually the case I needen't have worried. We just seemed to be feeding the bait to the tiny schools of fish at the edge of the rock ledge, the only tugs on the line were the numerous hooks we lost to patches of seaweed and jagged rocks!
Fishing was pronounced a terribly boring exercise and we went on to watch the Snake Man who was so much more entertaining!
So with only three weeks to go before our trip to Argentina it seems every weekend from now is accounted for! Wish me luck!
