Canoeing: Bella and Daddy Day

It's the memorial day weekend here in the US and time for a Bella and Daddy day.  It was so cute to hear her make a song at home when we were getting getting ready to go out... "It's a daddy day, it's a daddy day, yay yay yay...."

Here is the "Queen" putting her sunblock and preparing for our adventure.

We headed straight down to Palvin State park, a nice area of conserved pinelands with a large lake and adjoining stream. There's a patrolled swimming area but we were therefore the playground and.... 

.....the canoeing!

Easter Hunts, Flowers and Bushwalks

In our quest for not having Bella eating too many chocolates we had a different type of easter egg hunt this year! Mirabella got given a map and had to work out where her toys and gifts were hidden...

Someones excited! Let's go!

Making colourful eggs still a tradition!

Super glad Bella still loves bubbles, hasn't grown out of running after them yet but she's not far away!

Recently with the weather getting warmer Bella and Nick had an adventure in the NJ Pine Barrons:

Somehow Bella managed to convince me that her bringing her crafts was a good idea!

What else have we been up to?

Picnics

Picking daisies... and playing playing playing

Love to all our family and friends.
