Happy first day of Summer 2013

Well, I feel like I have waited a long time for Summer to get here and now it has, I am jumping into the beautiful Emily bay at Kingston Norfolk Island as much as I can.

Emily bay is the ultimate beach, no big waves to knock you over except in one corner at high tide which has some great mini rolling sets near the historic convict built salt house.

A raft to swim to.

Plenty of amazing coral and fish to view through the goggles and snorkel.

Lots of sand and plenty of room to build castles on.

Always a friend or two to play with.

Sand dunes, pine trees and tables to picnic on.

Amazing history and views.

Friday Favourite~ a little bit of science and magic

Rainbows and firelight

Most people know that my favourite colours are rainbows :)

 

 Teddy takes his big brother role seriously and asked me to stop the car so he could take his little brother out to see the rainbow.

Every time I see one, I have to take photos.

A bit of sunshine, a bit of rain and you have one of natures most magical shows next to sunsets.

 Speaking of sunsets, this was the last ray of sunlight on the same day as the rainbows and the fire below.

That same night I was blessed to be in the company of good friends and watching 2 of their young boys practise their fire stick twirling.

They offered my son Teddy and my friend Shell's Harry a turn. They were so excited to be given the opportunity.

look at that smile, it says it all

When one friend put on some Tahitian dancing music the rest of the girls & ladies began a spontaneous island dance group dance.

It was an amazing part of living on a south pacific island steeped in culture that we get to experience by living here.

Happy 8th Birthday beautiful girl.

 

happy Fathers day 2013

Happy Fathers day to my own dad Roy, my father in law Big Al.
Especially to this lovely man who despite the daily struggles with special needs kids he always thinks to himself 'I must try to be a better dad' and that is why he already is one.

Thankyou for being my calm and steady rock every time I am ready to fly off the edge.
