 After a little swim we saw our baby Water Dragon scurrying around the pool, behind the chairs and... would you believe this... straight up the brick wall to the top of the blind where it feasted on all sorts of bugs and insects we don't like.  Thank you Baby Water Dragon, not only did you put on a great show for Remy you ate some mozzies!

 Lunch time we went to Sushi Train with Jack, Charlie and Noonoo... yum!  Remy mostly ate Edamame... Yummy yummy!

 Then it was straight home with Jack and Charlie and we all had a nap!  :-)  well the youngest of us did!

And a long promised treat!  A trip to the Bus Museum to see David.
This is a Drivers Training machine... you have to learn early if you want to drive one of David's Double Decker Buses.

 Remy's driving the old Army Bus for Charlie and Jack.

 The little Vespa Royal Mail van is always popular :-)
 This photo was taken on 16th January 2011... almost 5 years ago :-)

One of the things I enjoy doing when I have Grandchildren sleeping over is to tell them some 'real' stories.  Remy asked for stories about me when I was his age and older.  One of the stories I told him was of David and I living in a London Taxi and driving all around Europe.  One night we were sleeping and didn't know it but heavy snow fell, in the morning the snow was banked up so high on the running boards we both had to use our feet to push and push the door open so we could get out and do a Wee.  Oh course Remy had never heard of 'running boards',  I told him they were sort of like the back platform of the bus except they went down both sides of the London Taxi, he was fascinated.

So... I showed him the Bus Museum's London Taxi and while he was in it... guess who came looking for him???

It was Mummy and Daddy... home from Tasmania!   you should have heard and seen the delight from all of us  :-)

When things settled down a bit, Remy and Mummy were still in the London Taxi and I heard Remy  carefully explaining about Pennie and David sleeping in the back and there was snow on the running boards and they had to push hard to get out... how sweet is that.   Later on Remy wanted to take Mummy for a drive in the London Taxi, and although it was hot hot hot at the Museum, Remy insisted that Em close the door because the Police wouldn't like it... so Mummy did as she was told!    Remy to Mum...  Where would you like to go?  Mum... Darling Harbour please.    Remy to Mum with a sigh... This Taxi doesn't go to Darling Harbour, it only goes to London!    :-) 

Yay for Remy, he knows what's what!

 I think he's happy to see them don't you!

As you can see... it was hot hot hot at the Museum yesterday.

Have no fear Remy...  Daddy, Mummy and Baby Bear will wait here until you come to play with them again.

And in the meantime... Tassie got a big 'Thumbs Up', Gwil and Em just loved their little break away.
On the last day, Em was up early enjoying a walk and she watched the sun come up over Wineglass Bay!  Beautiful!
 Gwil enjoyed a swim and the wet suited chap was going to enjoy the fish he caught.

Lunch consisted of Oysters, mussels and scallops all grown right here.
