Nimmitabel stop off

As we left Aunty beths, she told us to make sure and grab a photo with the huge elephant at Nimmitabel.  So here it is. a Photo with the huge elephant.

The fast pack up!

Our first real pack away from our farm stay at Cooma took us 35minutes which is pretty good considering it's our first time doing this procedure. I recorded it (of course) and sped it up for the clip. Notice how we pack the floor away and have to repack it because we haven't got the fold size right for the storage box it lives in.

Easter Egg Hunt

Its Easter time and the Easter bunny has been through Cooma. The girls can't wait for their basket filling adventure to begin.
We have briefed them on the Reason for Easter. Its all about Eggs and Chocolate :) and for a 3 and 4 year old, that's all it should be about.

Pump Pump Pump - Cooma Dam

Me and the girls decided it was time for fishing and to try out our new boat. We had previously made plans to carry a boat of some description and this is what we came up with.. Very handy little number and with an electronic motor attached we can buzz along quite quickly without rowing..
Check the girls pumping the boat up

The Great Camper Damper

When you ask the girls "where does milk come from"? the used to say  .... "from the shops". After showing them some farm life we have tried to re-educate them on the basics.
   Making bread was one of the things we knew would be educational. But first we had to make "FIRE". and without matches or a lighter. We baked some potatoes as well in the coals.
Then mummy kneaded up some dough and away we go!

Sorry for the corny poetry
