Ferry Ferry Fun

Well, one simply can't visit Bundeena without a trip on the vintage ferry! The oldest working ferry in Australia, I was told, and super cute to boot - it runs back and forth between Bundeena and Cronulla many times a day so of course we had to take a little morning trip with a bunch of family coming along too. It was a delightful day out, with beautiful sunshine, company and food. By food, I mean ice-cream!

Unfortunately, we forgot the hourly ferry did not run at midday on weekdays, so we got home a bit later than we expected, and this Mama and her two little ducklings were rather worn out (and I was starting to feel pretty sick)... my darling hubby saved the day though, by running home from the ferry dock to get the car, and saved us a fifteen minute uphill walk to get home. Bless him!

Here comes the ferry! Cue squeals of excitement!

Love this funny, cheeky, rambunctious boy of mine!

Our trip to Cronulla was wonderful, and thankfully had a distinct lack of riots or interactions with the cast of The Shire! It was a lovely little beach with palm trees everywhere and a fabulous ice-cream/gelato shop which we utilised with relish...

She chose rainbow colours and was thrilled with the result!

I could not stop laughing with at Eli all day. He had a little blister on his toe so
Mark (the fashionista) put socks on him with sandals. Complete with check shorts,
and hat, how could I not call him Grandpa?!? A very cute Grandpa indeed!

The family digs into their ice-creams with determination. Needless to say, so did I!

Grazed knees and ice-cream running down the hand... that's boyhood!
