We thought we'd get a head start on Australia Day celebrations last Thursday session before the 26th. Everyone except for Lexi loved their Vegemite Toast.

We also welcome Freddie the Golden Retreiver to the pack. He jumped on the bus without coaxing and joined in the play straight away! He'll be a real fun bloke to the group once he makes some firm friendships.

A warm day today, but a nice breeze so actually really pleasant. Paddle pool out and misters on though.

(oh and don't fuss about my boy Buddy with the cone on, he's just got a hot spot that keeps flaring up, so he's in the cone of shame for a couple weeks until it's completely gone this time)
