Winter has arrived!

Winter has definitely arrived in Sydney. We have had the heat on at home all the time and we now cannot go out of the house without rugging up. With winter, also comes the school athletics carnivals. Morgan and Lachlan had theirs on Tuesday and Eryn's was on Wednesday. It was so cold during Morgans carnival that I'm sure she was turning blue at one point. Morgan came 2nd in her 70metre dash.



Lachlan came 2nd in his 100 and 200m heat, but failed to place in the final. Lachlan prefers longer distances, so he wasn't too upset. Eryn's great accomplishment was showing up to her school athletics carnival. This was mainly because the girls were told they would have to present a Medical Certificate if they didn't come. Unfortunately she didn't place in any races, but told me she enjoyed the hot meat pie from the canteen best of all!!!



This weekend is a long weekend, and we spent Saturday keeping warm at home. We also ventured out to see the Royal Botantic Gardens. We walked around and enjoyed the scenery and even sat at Mrs Macquaries Chair. A place that I visited on one of our trips to Sydney when I was younger. A lovely afternoon was cut short when it started pouring with rain. We had to make a run for it and safely made it to some cover underneath the Sydney Opera House. After making a toilet stop, we decided that the Opera House has the nicest toilets we've seen so far.




We are just so lucky to be in a warm house during this winter season. It definitely makes the winter not seem so bad when you are tucked up in your warm home.
