Today was another really busy day. We got up and I had to get a bunch of jobs done. I needed to get passport photos for Levi and a few groceries to see us through until after Christmas. I also needed to get some more sunglasses. All the chores were little but it was added to just because the traffic is heavier around Christmas. The best part though is that the shopping centers are all very geared toward children at this time of year. There was a face painter and Levi got his fireworks painted on. The lady was really talented. She hadn't done fireworks before but loved the challenge! She thought it was funny that all the other little boys she did that morning wanted superheros! She doesn't know Levi. All about outside of the box!
After we had done our chores, we went back to Sandgate. This time with Zoe and her two oldest brothers. Jac (their mother) and I walked along the foreshore while the kids all biked, scootered or skateboarded, depending on their predilection for the said form of communication. The kids played on the huge play structure and climbed trees. These are the good days of childhood.
Levi and Zoe also saved jellyfish. They decided that the jellyfish that had washed up on the tide were dying and that they needed to be put back in the water. They diligently (and very gingerly) picked them up and put them back. It is an activity that is fraught with risk. The jellyfish can sting but only the bottom half. These are pretty mild critters though. These are not Irukandji. They don't really hurt too much but you have to treat them with respect as you can see Levi holding only the bell.
