Some bits and pieces…too good to be missed and not to be forgotten…

1. The beach…the most beautiful part about living in Torquay.

2. Field trip with Reid’s kinder class to Jirrahlinga Koala and Wildlife Sanctuary and to Barwon Heads Foreshore playground.

3. Field trip to Geelong Botanic Gardens with Alexis’ year 1 class.

4. Watching footy at Simonds Stadium, cheering on the Geelong Cats with Paatchie, Wes, Liam and Charlie.

5. Watching the Superbowl at Bar 61 at 11am with Jodie and three other fans in the place.

6. Days at the beach. While Alexis was in school, Reid and I spent countless days riding our bikes around Torquay, trying out every coffee shop in town, library visits, feeding the ducks, beach hopping, playing in tide pools, searching for wildlife, building sand castles, playing ball and looking for whales.

7. Lots and lots of family adventures…

8. The beach…again…there is a path along the coast that connects Torquay to Jan Juc and beyond. Shane and I both enjoyed running on this Surf Coast trail in preparation for our respective runs.

9. Just hanging out…

10. Learning to play Aussie rules footy (AFL) through Auskick.

11. One of our favourite places to eat dinner…get a pizza or throw some snags on the barbie at the flying fox park on the Esplanade. This is how we spent one of our last dinners before Shane flew home to Canada.

12. Fisherman’s beach…one last time…
