To Market, To Market.

4am. Brandon's and my day begins. I just knew it would be a long day. But we had a great day. We all ventured to the local markets this morning. They were re-launching themselves and were going to have heaps of things for kids to do there. Here's what the 2 boys got up to at the markets.

We all had a great time. The 2 boys went to the barnyard babies and patted and ran after a whole lot of little animals. Then we saw the swans that live at the lake. They also had a jump on the 2 jumping castles. Brandon had a ride on Sebastian the pony which made his day. He had woken up this morning and must have just known that he would be riding on a horse/pony today as he had put on his horse riding shoes and wasn't taking them off. Brandon also had a jump on the bungy trampoline. The minimum weight is 15kg and that's exactly what Brandon weighs. So he just got a go.

Being a Sunday today it was also swimming lesson day. So at 10:25am we jumped back in the car from the markets to change the kids into their swimmers and get to swimming lessons by 10:30am. Sometimes it's amazing how fast 2 adults can move 2 kids. The kids were in the pool by 10:30am. The 2 boys did so very well in their lessons. It's great to see them growing in confidence each week.

Both boys  fell asleep today which was to be expected. Daddy and I had to recover from our very busy morning too. For the rest of the day we all spent the afternoon outside playing soccer, swinging, throwing balls, running, jumping like frogs, growling like dinosaurs and quacking like ducks. All in a days play.

This evening was pretty special because all 4 of us got to sit down and have dinner together. Normally I'm at work so it was really lovely. Strangely enough the boys were very calm.

Today was a great day full of wonderful adventures and experiences. I hope that the boys remember the lovely things that they did and experienced today.
