Well I gotta be honest, I am not really a summer kind of gal, because I don’t like spending too much time under the sun, I keep telling the kids that I’m allergic to the sun, so we don’t go out more often when its summer. Now, if you’re reading this and saying, what’s wrong with that woman, let me explain a little bit, first, we live in the outback where a summer’s day can see us well above 40 degrees (this is like dry desert heat) and secondly, I burn too easily. It takes me only 5 minutes in the sun every day for 2 weeks to get really sunburned (guess what time I hang the clothes on the line?).
But hear this, what I love about summer in the Pilbara is that its got its long days. After dinner, we can get out and ride the bikes, go for a walk or play in the yard until after 7 pm, and that’s what we were doing the whole school holidays. We stay inside during the day and play board games, Wii or do some drawing and reading, then after dinner, go out and play. One fine day, Tara and I went out and played outside then she decided to ride her bike so I went back inside and took my camera out (Josh preferred to stay inside and play Wii) and captured some moments with her just being herself. She was so cheeky because she kept playing and riding her bike straight on to me, I had to hold up my foot up to stop her from hitting the camera.
And here are some photos from that afternoon.
Ah, I am enjoying this blogging everyday! Enjoy the rest of your week!
