Last Sunday(on her 8 week birthday), Zara decided that "sleeping-in" was for the birds. Usually our routine is to wake for a feed between 6 & 7 am and then go off to sleep again till about 9am. Which, as you can imagine has been absolutely perfect for her late rising mother. So at 7.30am after her feed , she decided that it was time to play. I took her cue and decided to surprise Dad by going to watch him paddle the time trial. We got ourselves organised and headed off to Emmarentia.When we arrived, we saw Chris & Dave carrying their boat back to the racks.... very confused, I went and joined the other wives on the grass and waited to see what happened. Chris eventually came back to fetch his paddle and I then heard that they had managed t break the rudder-cable and were therefore no longer able to paddle.
Never the less , we sat on the banks of the dam, had a cup of coffee and fruit salad till the time trial was over. Once again, Zara enjoyed her outing, but lets hope next time we make it to watch Dad paddle, we will actually see him paddling.

It all looks most enjoyable. Hope the canoe is fixed now.
She sure is enjoying the sun.
Bad luck re. the canoe thingy.
How long does it take you to get ready to leave the house with Zara and how much "luggage" do you have?
Something to look forward to: one day, you actually WILL be able to go out without a huge diaper bag and three changes of clothing (just in case of diarrhoea or vomiting) and all the other "stuff" that a weeny infant needs. Well, okay, it seems that Zara herself doesn't care too much about clothing at this stage...
PS: I used to be really proud of myself because I could spell "diarrhoea", and, in fact, had spent some time memorising it; now I'm all messed up with the American way of spelling.
