A week with Scarlett and Jony (Part 2, everything else)

While Scarlett and Jony where here the main priority was getting the house wired up, so when the boys were busy working on that Scarlett, Chloe and I went off is search of yummy food. Scarlett loves Mersey Valley Cheese but I can't taste the difference between it and Ashgrove Cheese and couldn't be bothered going all the way to Burnie so first stop was Ashgrove Cheese (again). After a few tastes we left with our little carry bag of cheese we headed off to Anvers (again), not for the chocolate but for the hot chocolate. We had a quick look around and then hopped back in the car heading off to Turners Beach for some strawberries. I thought Chloe would enjoy picking the berries but she just wanted to eat them, so she ate while Scarlett and I picked. By the time our basket was full Chloe had had her fill (for now) and was happy to carry the basket back for us, quite pleased with our little bounty.

On one of the days when the boys had finished the electrical work we all decided to go to Sheffield and Tasmazia for the day. We didn't really take any photos of the murals in Sheffield as it was too cold to take hands out of pockets. By the time we got to Tasmazia the weather was a bit warmer and the ever camera shy Jony decided to pose for some photos (with his little side kick of course).
Chloe loved the little village that they have as all the houses are her size.

Jony posing ..... again.
Upside down Chloe at the upside down house with Scarlett (the poor child, all the things we put her through).
We spent ages in the hedge maze, or I should say I spent ages in the hedge maze. Everyone else had made it to the end and were calling out directions to me and it still took me forever (I am utterly hopeless with direction and directions). In the end we never made it to the middle of the main maze (the 3 Bears Cottage) though Jony swears that he saw the roof.
Jony being the city slicker liked the idea of milk straight from the cow so one afternoon we went over to Kim's dairy and he got a crash course in milking off Scott Christie.

Though he and I obviously missed what Scott said about moving when the cow lifts its tail and from how disgusted he was about it I can almost guarantee his milking days are over.

The boys also went fishing and spotlighting and we all went to Launceston a couple of times to go to City Park to see the monkeys and to the Gorge. Chloe is probably so sick of her car seat after the last few weeks and Scarlett and I were resorting to great lengths to keep her entertained while in it. These recycled glasses that Scarlett got at the Jack Johnson contest bought us some time...even if it was only two minutes.
