RAAF Museum Melbourne

Well just to the south of us is the RAAF Museum, it only about 1.5 Km away as the crow flies or should I say as the Planes fly.

The museum has regular flying display most weekends. Today it the turns for the De Havillands,  Mustang and Douglas Boston planes. All have large noisy engines but they are beautiful aircraft.

And being so close, they fly low of us on a regular basis. Stephan and Myself like the planes and the noise they make. The girls couldn't care less.

Mushroom season

Each morning I go for a good long walk around the estate.
It is now mushroom season and because most of the landscaping has ben done with a fine black mulch the mushrooms are out in full force.

These are not edible.. but still beautiful.

Sleeping Beauties

Jenny took this photo of the kids asleep on the couch. And yes the couch is big enough.
Lisa eventually got up first with because of the smell of someones feet……

Melbourne Garden Show

Jennifer and I went tot he Melbourne Garden Show last weekend.

A chance to look around a see what was for offer look at garden designs.

We're gradually getting the front garden completed but it is very slow. this was to help choose plants and obtain Idea's. It was a good day out.

Youth Raft Race

In the weekend, Stephan went to the Youth Raft race.

It was held at the Anglesea river mouth. So on a not so warm day, the youth were racing rafts?

Anyway Stephan's raft came in 3rd place of the 13 that were there. It came third due to Stephan Pushing Power mostly. as the river was shallow most of the way.

Catching frogs

At the new house we have found the wherever there is a damp spot in the garden frogs will hide.

So on Saturday morning while lifting so boards for the garden we found some Stripped Marsh Frogs.
They are common in this area, but needed to be moved for building to commence. Stephan and Lissa went out and gathered them up and relocated them to a reserve.

Lesson was; your never to old to go catching frogs.

Duty to God

Stephan has finally finished his "Duty to God" , He did it in just over 5 years where it should take 6 years. So he has done very well.

In the Wyndham stake that we belong to, he is the second to do it in ten years.

WELL DONE STEPHAN.
