Bitter Springs and good times

So, uhhh...what happened to the every Sunday blogging? I KNOW! Fail on my part! BUt here's TON of pictures to catch you up....not that we've been up to much (except getting ready for little miss to turn one!) but we do have some pretty great times here in good ol Beswick. Have fun watching the craziness that is Grace....
 Teddy...she carries it everywhere...it is glued to her...and if she leaves it behind she will turn around and tackle it, squealing the whole time... :)



 She LOVES the outdoors! I put her in little dresses so she looks girly but she isn't really a little princess... sticks, leaves and dirt are her thing! (But isn't she pretty all dressed up anyway?)

Oh...and pizza...she has no teeth... but she loves pizza.....


 And footy.... 

We are in our last term here in Beswick. We have decided that enough is enough...we need something then endless summer heat so Sam resigned and we are packing up. But before we started this last little push to get home, we had a week school holidays which we decided to spend part of in Mataranka. Mataranka is an hour away and boasts a bunch of natural 'hot' springs. Not like the hot hot sulpher type in America, just naturally flowing water that comes out of the ground and is a nice warm temp.

Oh and Sam decided to bike there...through the bush (yes, I knew he was crazy when I married him) :)

The cabins we stayed at in Mataranka were only a short walk to Bitter Springs pools and were perfect! The cabin owners even had a baby wallaby which Grace spent endless amounts of time playing with

For breakfast we headed down the road to a place called The Manor. They had a huge variety of birds on the grounds (including this gorgeous guy) plus a live barramundi show, where they taught about barra and let people hand feed them. Sam was brave enough to get in and feed a huge male barra...was pretty awesome! (of course I have no photos of Sam feeding the barra, but I blame that on my inability to hold a camera and a squirming baby...come on Amanda...learn some skills!)



 Some photos of the super green Bitter Springs pools that we swam in! They are gorgeous!


 Okay, that's all for now... gotta save your eyeballs for the gobs of birthday photos coming up! :)
