In between laying floorboards we went swimming.
Once the work was done we could play so we went boating.
Alex watched his father very closely when he drove the boat and first opportunity he got - he was copying how to drive.
The grown ups went water skiing - although some of us a better than others! ;-)
After being at the dam we went and had a few days at the farm in Central NSW where John's family live. In between yet more work (moving cattle and around 28 tonnes of wheat) we had plenty of fun - Alex enjoyed playing with his cousins and being allowed to roam free after being cooped up in the cot for 5 days.

This sign about 15 minutes from my in-laws always makes us laugh. See if you can spot what is wrong with it? (hint: think geography and social studies!)
