Having fun

Here are some more snaps of Reuben doing various Reuben things.

Vanuatu

We have just got back from Vanuatu and the boys had a great time! Reuben spent most of his time swimming and eating icecreams. He also liked to chat to people and ask them what they were doing.

Botanic Gardens

As we are going to Vanuatu next week, we thought we'd take the boys to the Botanic Gardens for a look at the Conservatory and to look at the tropical plants. However he got scared of the steam (he thought it was a giant snake). We went back yesterday and a kookaburra landed on the stroller! Reuben was very excited, although Luke seemed pretty chilled about it.

The Big Rocking Horse

Yesterday we went to the Big Rocking Horse. Reuben climbed up to the top and we waved at Daddy and Luke. Reuben also went for a ride on the pony- Just like Woody!

Take my photo

Reuben is always keen to get in front of the camera- Luke has to battle to get his face seen!

Moving day(s)

Recently we have moved from Glenelg to Unley. It's been quite an effort with all of the stuff we have accumulated- even though it's only been 3 years at Glenelg.

Reuben had a fantastic time being in charge of raising and lowering the hydraulic ramp on the truck. he also helped to pack and loved to find interesting treasures in boxes. Here are some snaps.

Gold Coast

We have been in sunny QLD for the past week, in between Mike starting his new job. The warm weather was fantastic and it also gave both Reuben and Luke a chance to get over their colds. Reuben went full on as usual- and often ended each day in tears of exhaustion. After spending the day at Seaworld, he fell asleep in the bus at 4.00pm and didn't wake up till 7.00am the following morning!

Laughing Thomas

Reuben is obsessed with anything Thomas related and so when shifting through youtube over his morning bix, we found this video!

Kuipto forest

On Sunday, we went to Kuipto forest with Ciocia Aleks. We cooked Polish sausages on a stick and ate salmon and blue cheese- yum. Reuben had a great time jumping in puddling, sitting in holes and freaking out Aleks, who thought he'd end up in the river! Luke was happy to look at everything that was going on, taking great interest in the trees above him.

Feeding the Ducks

Today we went and fed the ducks at the park. Reuben managed to get over his fear and had a great time throwing bread (and rocks when he ran out) at the ducks and swans. Luke had fun just hanging around, watching what was going on.

Happy the Horse

Reuben has a new hobby horse which he has named "Happy". This name is due to his current obsession with determining whether people are friendly or scary. Happy means that everything is ok. Poor Reuben is a little delicate at the moment and quite clingy, but it means I get lots of hugs!

Mother's Day

We spent the day at a train park with Grandma Lorraine, Auntie Selina, Uncle Chris and Aiden. Reuben had a great time playing in the sand and then travelling on the train. What a great place for boys!

Ride the Bike?

Lately Mike has been taking Reuben for rides on the bike. Reuben loves it! He loves to yell out "Bike behind!" to unsuspecting pedestrians who don't get out of the way quickly enough.

Cairns

We had a great time over Christmas up in Cairns and Pt. Douglas. This was a very different trip to others as Reuben now insists on going to playgrounds and wanting to do his own thing. Camping trips are the order of the day for a while now.
