Excursions and Rye

It is excursion time and the boys have had some great trips with school. Xander was the first taking his mum to Chesterfield Farm. The usual feeding and patting of animals with the highlight being milking a cow.Marshall had a more exotic trip to the Zoo. The bus ride there was great fun with songs and games on the way. The Zoo as usual was fantastic. Marshall and Dad split from the pack to ease the burden on the carers and walked around our favourite animals. The Elephants and Lions were a huge hit.
We were lucky to be offered a family holiday house in Rye for the first weekend in November, the traditional cup weekend. The house is close to the beach and we had use of the beach bathing box too. Thanks Ellis family.
The weather on the Saturday was perfect and then a dramatic lightning storm gave us a spectacular light show in the evening.

The next morning the weather was a bit cloudy so a morning stroll along the beach looking for shells.
