Go Kart done!

There’s still a few tweaks to do to the gokart, around the steering but the family project is done! Jack was the first to faceplant on the driveway tonight! Good dose of gravel rash! Excellent! Go hard kid!

What a sweetie…

Her heart is in the right place feeding Pin, but what a mess! At least Pin is the winner on the day with a huge feed! He’ll be a happy cat!

Just a great day…

Sarah was doing a horsey day so I took the kids out to the Groynes for a play and bit of fresh air. They had a blast and just ran around heaps. Was great to see them having fun! They’re cool kids and really love each other!

Quick GoKart project
When we got back, Olivia was asleep in the car, so Jack and I hit the workshop and in an hour or so we knocked up the start of a pretty cool GoKart! It’s just a push one, but it’ll be fun. They picked up a couple of extra wheels for the front from Bunnings today so we’ll finish the front axle tomorrow.

Always a good time at the Dobbs. Jack below is getting to grips with Timothy’s compound bow. He did pretty good! The boys took him up the tree hut as well for some bug-hunting!
