Day at our bush block

We spent the whole day out at our bush block today. Michael hired a little tractor with a slasher on the back and a front end loader, and he was on it from first thing this morning until tonight when it got dark. He had great fun!

Oliver and I got out there not long after Michael and spent the morning getting the fire ready and picking rocks and stumps from where Michael was trying to mow the lawn.

At lunchtime, I picked up the other three kids from school so that they could come out to the block and spend the afternoon with us. They didn't want to miss out on the bonfire and tractor!

We had lunch on a picnic rug, and then lit the big fire. We had great fun chucking wood on the fire, and even had marshmallows when friends came out to join us later on in the afternoon.

At the end of the day, we were all exhausted and filthy, but we got heaps done and the block looks great!

Now to make our minds up about what we are going to build there...
