The Holidays Have Started

This week is the first week of school holidays. In the NT, kids have 4 weeks off in the middle of the year. This is to make use of the lovely cool (31-32 degrees) weather.

On Sunday night, we went along again to the famous Mindil markets. It is a nice place for a walk and dinner, if you can cope with the crowds.

 Its still very warm, but again, no one goes in the water. We continue to be told by locals, not to enter any water in Darwin. Even paddling is against the 'rules'.

 K has been swimming every day with her babysitter. The weather is warm, but due to cold (colder) nights, the water is chilly.

 K made muffins.

F did makeup with K.

 Mummy did face paint.

 Today we went to a landscaping centre, which also has a restaurant. We played in the gardens.

 We have seen this from the road many times - today was the first time we stopped to look.

 K had chocolate icecream.

 

K has also been to the movies, playcentre and park. Only 3.5 weeks of holidays to go!
