Mud Monster & Other Adventures

So the last two weeks have been school holidays - loads of fun with the kids and some fun adventures too. Well, ok I had to work for 1 week of them but my week off was full on!! Boy can you pack a lot into a week :) The Royal Show, 3 family birthdays, outing to Lower Chittering, and a big reminiscing trip to the outskirts of the wheatbelt, York - Northam - Goomalling (see the old house I grew up in) - Tooday - Home. Not to mention play dates, trips to the park and good ol fashioned cubby building!!

The dogs, in various numbers, joined us on our trips out to the 'country' - needless to say, and as you will see, they had a HOOT of a time!!

LOWER CHITTERING

So it was just Astro who joined our adventure to Lower Chittering to visit my sister, after all she is currently dog sitting 3 hounds and I figured that 7 in total might be a bit much!! The day was a lot of fun and if the title of this post didn't give away the theme for the day I'm sure the next couple of pics will :)

Yup - It was Mud, and LOTS of it!! The joys of being a kid - I hadn't laughed so much in ages!! Not to be out done, Astro had his share of fun in the mud...

But thankfully shook most of it off before the trip home ...

YORK AND BEYOND

Such a different landscape to our last adventure!! My brother has a little patch of land about 20km out of York - his escape from city life. Another day filled with family and fun and this time the 4 hounds joined us. Boy did they enjoy the room to run...

Not to mention a rest and a snack...

And to finish the day, a nice dip and a drink in the Avon River at Toodyay...

And a reminder from the Old Boy that...

He is STILL the "King Of The Castle"
