Us three

Damo and I were looking through photos of Ava when she was little and realised that we don't have any pics of the three of us because it's usually Damo or I behind the camera lens, so we asked my sister if she could take a few pics while we went down to visit her.  We took around 300 shots in the space of about 15 minutes and thought for sure there would be something we could use! After flicking through them, I think we found maybe ten where at least one of us didn't have our eyes closed, or drool running down our chin (Damo I'm looking at you)! If anyone has any tips for getting good snaps please leave me a comment I'd love to hear them! Here's a couple of the good ones we got hope you enjoy and massive thanks to Jacci for taking them. 

Loch Ness

At the moment mum and dad are enjoying a holiday in Thailand (some people have all the luck right)?! so we're looking after their dog Nessie, dad got her when I still lived at home and I love seeing her she gives THE best cuddles and is such a gentle giant.  Ava loves having her here too and has been patting her everyday.  Poor Nessie has also been putting up with having her eyes poked and being crawled over.  I don't know what Avas going to do when Nessie goes home and she has to try catch Jock to give him a pat! ps if anyone knows a good way to teach the word "gentle" to a 10 month old pleeaassee let me know

A day fishing

On Sunday we went to the Ecopark fishing farm for Damos brothers birthday.  It's place in the country where you catch fish with barb less hooks so you don't hurt the fish and of course you have to release them back into the dam.  It was also such a nice surprise when we saw they had some farm animals including baby turkeys which Ava loved to look at.  Damo and I both managed to catch a fish (It doesn't matter whose was bigger, the fact is that we BOTH caught one so we were both winners) ha ha.  And we tried to get Ava to feed the Alpacas even though she seemed more interested in eating the corn and grains herself!

There was also this cute little guy that tried to hide from us (I don't think the poor alpaca realised that even though he was behind a "tree" we could still see him).
