A day on the water...

This morning we woke up early and headed out to the Lane Cove National Park, to take the girls on their first ever row boat...  Akira (Claire's classmate) and Emika (his sister joined us for the day...

Here are the kids examining the boats...carefully deciding who will take what boat...

The kids are set...Keira even did a bit of modelling of the stylish life jacket...

The power for the day was provided by daddy....

While the girls sat back and enjoyed the ride...

Emika asked if she could go in our boat, as she thought we were going faster...

We stopped along the river for a picnic lunch...

 The kids had sausage sandwiches, chips and cookies...

Here's Claire in her flirty mode...part 1 

and 2...

Keira had a great time running around with Akira and Emika, the kids explored the bush, followed some paths, saw a large lizard by the water and generally had a lot of fun.

After a slow row back to the boat she, it was time for some ice cream...

And after all that fun on the water, we all headed back home for a swim in the pool.

Overall a great day on and in the water.
