ANZAC DAY

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them.

Well this year April 25th 2012 was our first ANZAC day out of NZ.  We had it across in the park in Cobar, was a lovely service not as long as im use to and the kids were well behaved and sat, watched and chilled out while the speeches were being done..They also stood when they were meant to and sat down afterwards.

The parade started at the RSL went down the main street and down a few sides street to get to the park with the war memorial area.  We sat on the main street and watched the parade then made our way to the park, we got there before the parade arrived.  

The army cadets took their spots about the flag and memorial statue.

Caught up with Carmen and her girls, which was lovely, Dakota likes Matilda

So was a nice little service.

We went home for a bit, then out again and Damian decided to climb the tree so the kids wanted to aswell, so they did. (with my help of course)

I do love this photo

So that was out ANZAC day service

ANZAC Day 2011

Well this morning didnt go to plan we didnt go to dawn like we would of liked too but with Dakota being up most of the night and it pissing down with rain, just didnt seem like a good combo.

BUT

Damians ship Wellington had to go to silverdale for civic parade so we drove up.

Still raining we put the kids in the pram and jackets on and headed on up.

Got there still raining went into the RSA waiting for parade to start, 11am rolls around and out we all go our umbrella was taken i wasnt impressed at all.  So stood in the rain with the kids it got a little too much so went and sat in the car for a little while, let the kids just chill out.

Got out with jackets on and went and saw daddy.

So sorry no photos of the day.

BUT

I do have photos of the kids in the car lol
