What we did in the school holidays

Every school holidays I try to create a mini tour of the City of Sydney for my kids, here's what we got up to this Autumn;

1. 1788 tour of Sydney, back to the time of Captain Arthur Phillip
2. Exploration of the aboriginal sites of the Coves from our own backyard
3. Visit to the Australian Museum in College St to see the dinosaurs, N thinks that the small hairy Chinese one that runs and looks like an eagle is positively scary
4. Played soccer in the rain - well T did, he is practicing his goal shots
5. Daytrip to Taronga Zoo to see the new exhibits there, learnt that frogs drink water through their skin.
6. Arts and Craft activities at home and at a workshop
7. More backyard excavation - well they might develop an interest in archaeology

Here is one of T's photos from Taronga Zoo; I really like the giraffes close up...
