School holidays through the eyes of a child

The school holidays have started here, two glorious weeks of freedom.

We have decided to stay local and holiday from home.

There are plenty of things on our list that we would like to do but it feels great not to have too much planned. These two weeks will be a time to re-charge the batteries, catch up with friends and spend time enjoying ourselves. I'm looking forward to slowing down, ditching the usual routine and I will strive to spend as much time as I can just enjoying living in the present, and having fun.

I'm taking my inspiration from Nikki Gemmel and her book 'Why you are Australian'
and from my girl Sibs...who seems to be able to find the simple fun in most things.

This is Friday afternoon watching the Queensland Reds rugby team train after school.

As her dad watched the rugby Sibs decided that it would be a bit more fun to do rolly-poley down the hill and swing on some bars.

On Saturday morning she chilled at home.

and managed to find plenty to do.

 

On Saturday afternoon she smiled all the way through her dance lesson ,

and even enjoyed a quick dash to the supermarket.

I may not quite take a ride on the supermarket trolley these holidays, but I will be making the most of them.

Happy times...
