This weekend we bought a Westfalia VW camper van. We've been looking around for ages to find a good deal. This one is about 17 years old and in very good condition. We must say goodbye to our trusty Subaru...which I maintained was slightly jinxed. If you remember the "kid flying through the back window" incident, among others I could mention. So it's hello to our new memory-maker. As Mark describes it, it is like a Swiss army knife on wheels. I will post some pics of the inside later on. I have got used to driving it around now and the kids think it is fantastic. We cannot wait to take her out camping! Tenting was okay...but with two young kids it was not what you could call relaxing. Now we just have to plan our first trip of 2010.
And in more "Wheel news", a couple of weeks ago Bronwyn got a new bike and I got a bike-seat for River that attaches to my bike. Bronwyn learned to ride on two wheels in about a day and cycling is her latest passion. Here she is on her bike looking fierce...because she's a fierce girl when she's riding her bike!
The weather has been relatively mild and we have been for lots of outings along the beach. Nice and flat and gravelly, with no traffic. Just perfect. Bronwyn has developed a style that enables her to go "really fast"...head down and elbows out.
River loves the bike-seat. Obviously, he's not in it in this picture...it's hard to get a picture when he's in it. I'll have to get Mark to do the honours. But trust me he likes it, he really likes it! Heck, what's not to like!

Congratulations on the new additions to your family; bike seat, two-wheeler and Westfalia make three. Can't wait to do some camping trips together this summer. Maybe we can watch Bronwyn being fierce, River taking in the view and then us 'grown ups' can enjoy a few beers by the fire before retiring to our mini home-away-from-homes :-)
