Homemade Fireworks

 

 

With Territory Day coming up on July 1st,

we are all excited about the prospect of

trying not to blow ourselves up with

fireworks, but having a blast!!

 

Chloe and Maddy decided they needed to start

early, and so, thanks to a neighbour's instruction,

they built their own homemade sparkler bombs!

 

So far we haven't lost any limbs or singed any eyebrows.

 

I have uploaded a short video of their efforts.

Pretty impressive for a first go.

 

 

In other news:

 

Dave has just returned from a trip to Brisbane.

He was away 8 days, which was an

 eternity for us left at home:(

 

He had an awful time with Brisbane traffic,

trying to find the right routes for a truck to take,

accidentally taking the wrong road which led him

through the Clem 7 Tunnel

(with a trailer on and maybe 20cm clearance)

and a whole lot more.

 

Anyway, we are all so glad to have him back home

and he is very certain that long haul truck driving is not for him!!

 

The girls and I have taken 2 weeks off school for a break

and a chance for me to do some sewing for the wedding.

It has been a crazy week, but we're getting there.

 

Lauren's car broke down in Darwin,

the day Dave left, so it has been a source of

frustration for Cam, trying to work on it.

But, today they made a break through into

the reason why it died,

 so hopefully it is on the mend.

 

Abbi is still looking for that perfect first car

to buy and is busy getting driving lessons

in the hopes of getting her license in July.

 

That's all folks!

 

 

Keep an eye out for our next

 blog post that will

be full of fireworks excitement!!
