Return to the WILD!

Having a new baby in the house we all decided it was time we brushed up on our survival skills and headed back to the WILD untamed bush of Mt Kuringai (also a great excuse to take The Gramps for a bit of a bush barbie!) ...

Paul teaching Isobel how to look the part!
A pretty spot for some bush survival training!
Bush survival tip number 1: 'Remember to bring the barbie tongs!'
'Anyone seen them?!'
Gramps helps keep the little scavengers out of the way till the feast is ready!
Some more little scavengers who were not at all shy (they actually tried to take the meat off the barbie while it was still cooking .. .they were eyeing up Jieret in a none too pleasant way too!).

Plotting their next move!
Demonstrating some manly 'hunter/cooking' skills
'Hey, anyone else smell something burning?!'
Waiting for the fire to be extinguished so we could eat...

Bush survival tip 2: 'Cuddle whenever possible to maintain bodyheat and to deter Kookaburra pack-hunting!'
Lorence does a spot of weight training with a cuddly blue dumbbell!
The Gramps do too (and as an added bonus they make a great
smoke screen)!

Explaining to Gramps how all the peanut M&Ms mysteriously vanished (apparently Jieret was spotted leaving the crime scene!)
Fed at last!
Still plenty of lazy arvo and warm sunshine left to allow for a bit of ''leaf' spotting' with Daddy!
