Holidays

We've just come to the end of our 2 week school holidays. It's been very strange without our Hansie girl, but we love knowing she's having fun with her friends and grandparnets and cousins etc.(ok, Tony and I love it...can't exactly say the same for the other two " stuck in Suva", but hey!) She's ticked off all the things she wanted to do and will head off to CMS Camp MMM tomorrow for her final week.

Meanwhile we have been having a quieter time of it here.Tennis and dog walking on dry days and playstation and milkshakes on the wet days. Holidays make us very aware of the fact that we can't just pop in on grandparents or meet friends at our favourite Sydney parks and cafes. But we have loved walking the dog at sunset with the mountains in the background. We have found the best lime thickshakes at the Mango Cafe. We have also found a great Adventure Park with flying fox, high ropes etc.. Oh and Ethan has become obsessed with tennis, which my Dad will enjoy with him when they come back on Saturday with Hannah...6 sleeps to go. Oh and we just got home from another dinner with the Year 13 youthworks team from Sydney. There are 94 teenagers here from Australia who are thinking about mission work in the future. It has been fun meeting them and answering their questions....even the 19 year old that I quickly realised I used to babysit when she was 2.....I'd felt so young and hip up until then...disappointing.
