The weekend turned out to be lots of fun too. We had a full house on Saturday with Sofia and Emily (new neighbour from over the back fence) come to play. Together they planted sunflower seeds with Grandad, ate lunch, enjoyed the swings in the front garden and played dress ups - Grandad was the king, Sofia the knight fighting the dragons, Ella the maid while Emily and Katy were the princesses! When they tired of this we headed down to the cook playground for an ice cream and (of course) a play.
Sunday's highlight was the visit to the Pod playground known in our family as the Nut playground at the National Arboretum. Impressively both girls rode there - Katy on the tag along and Ella on her own bike. The girls loved climbing the rope ladders from pod to pod ending with a long curly tunnel slide. After a little while we retreated out of the gusty wind inside to enjoy a coffee. Both girls wanted to ride home but we'd thought it perhaps was a bit much so a compromise was reached. They both rode down the zig zag path to the cork oak carpark where Katy climbed in the car along with Ella's bike and Ella swapped on to the tag along for the ride home.
Grandad's visit was concluded with a relaxing dinner at Debacle. Monday was quiet for Grandad and Pippa as the rest of us were back at school, childcare and work. Grandad rode over to Hawker, walked the dog, took another(!) load of washing off the line before packing his bag ready for the flight back to Perth that night. We eagerly await our next visit from Grandad and Nana scheduled for Christmas :)
