We just finished another grading as a family. This time the boys and Kim graded to their first brown belts and I graded to my third brown belt.
We were supposed to have graded about a month ago, but because of Kims dad's funeral we had to postpone it for a month.
It therefore turned out to be just a mini grading with just the four of us as a family.
Now it will be quite a while before any of us are grading again. The boys need to get a fair bit stronger before grading for the next belt based on the feedback. I will need to start working towards the black, so Kim will probably be the next one grading towards the end of the year.

The boys putting up the tent.
Our campground from across the lake.
Teaching the boys to fish (only caught seaweed).
The kids spent hours climbing up and down this little hill.
Lots of brains trying to put up a gazebo. Eventually we had to consult the instructions.
Sunset scenery
It was raining so we gathered under the canopy.
Lots of curious ducks (waiting to be fed).
Spotted a 2016 vintage from Coonawarra...had to try it.
Scenery from our camp ground.
Great selfie with Lucas and I.
More spectacular scenery.
Cuties in the hammock.
I have seen steam tractors in museums before, but this is the first time I have seen one that is still functioning. This one is from 1913.
One day we went mushroom picking. These ones you definitely can't eat.
And these ones you can.
First time I have seen a Leopard Slug.
A pretty good picking...
The kids found a bird skeleton. It could be a dead lyrebird, or maybe a dodo.

Here are some various photos from first part of 2022.
Here is one of Aiden in his happy space at the Piano and Guitar.
At Cabramatta we sat down having an asian drink. It looked so much like one of the birds from Angry bird that I just had to get a photo. See the resemblance?
This is a Lego truck that Lucas built.
At karate Aiden is sometimes asked to teach the newbies. It is great to see how it gives him confidence.
Aiden went to a birthday party with a Virtual Reality experience...a bit scary for him.
The local corner shop was refitted for a TV show.
Easter egg loot.
What do the boys get up to in their room sometimes???
Family photo at QVB
Having desserts in the city
A seal resting on the rocks at the opera house.

While at Warilla Beach we one day did a walk at the Macquarie Pass National park. This was an easy walk with the reward of a waterfall at the end of the walk.

One one of our trips down south we visited the Nan Tien temple south of Sydney.
It is a Chinese Buddhist temple that is worth a relaxing visit for anyone with some time.
