This weekend we went to Somerset dam, which is quite full at the moment. We went with Di and Bear and their two kids and we had a fabulous time! I had to work late and so Di picked Levi up from school. After getting the third degree, she was finally able to take him. I had already let them know it was happening as well. Oh Well! At least no one can get him who shouldn't. I drove up late and got up there about 6.30. We had lots of help putting the tent up from the kids and Levi got to sleep in a tent again which he was excited about.
The weather was perfect and there was a fog in the morning, but it burned off by about 9.30 to a beautiful sunshine day. We went out in the boat and tubed until the kids arms were tired and then we fished. The first day we got 13 fish in about half an hour but they were all Talapia. Talapia hold an interesting place in Australian waterways. They are considered the Canetoad of the waterways. As it is illegal to actually put them back into the water we saved them up and at the end threw them onto the bank to feed the eagles that were ready and waiting for a free feed.
The second day was very like the first and it was just lovely. We packed up around about mid afternoon and that meant that most of the rest of the campers were already gone and it also meant that everything was very dry when we put it away. I didn't have to redo anything when I got home and was very grateful for that as well. The boys all got on really well and Levi learned to tube and he learned how to start and stop his bike without help. All in all it was a great weekend!
