I really enjoy ANZAC day and as i love doing family history i feel fairly close to my ancestors and especially on ANZAC day as we have a history of service men in our family..i often think about my grandads oldest brother who was killed two weeks into his service in France 1914 and my grandad served in darwin when it was bombed and lived to tell the tale. How sad that wonderful young men and women had to die because of political tug of wars and power struggles. But also how proud we are that they stood up for the right and saved our country that we may worship and live in freedoms.
On a lighter note, our ward has an ANZAC breakfast every year at the park and this year was no different, sausages,onions,eggs,bacon on bread, food always tastes better on the BBQ i reckon! And of coarse the kids run wild and the adults have a great chin wag and catch up :) though i must warn you that children must not go on the spinney rides at the park AFTER they have had there breakfast! Yes of course it was Lizzie! Vomiting all her breakfast up in the sand... Lucky i always have clothes in the back of my car for just such occasions (vomit on shirt) Washed her down, changed her shirt and banned all my children from ever going on one of those things for the rest of there lives! lol..we will see how long that lasts:) but apart from that incident the day was a great success, the kids played 'Red Rover' climbed trees, played touch footy with the big boys and ate everything in sight!!(well Darcy ate everything in sight lol)
Not long after arriving home all three girls were fast asleep and so was hubby! So Darcy and i played 'Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego' (Which after long searching i have finally found, games from my childhood!!sigh)the boys loved it! i also got all my washing done and baked a cake, which has already disappeared. so i thought I'd just do a quick blog before bed, i have an early morning and my final test for the week for my eye before i see the specialist on Thursday..I'm really looking forward to the next long weekend, i love long weekends ;)
