Angus' first trip to Bruny Island

In the ferry queue.

In some ways I'd been dreading this moment, how on earth would I cope?  The main reason for my fears was that there are no enclosed areas so I'd have to watch Tamsyn constantly, which isn't easy when you're changing someone else's nappy etc....

However, apart from the copious amount of luggage (it took 2 hours to pack the car...) it was pretty good, and thankfully both children travel really well.
This was how I spent most of my time.  We have an old hand-me-down stroller which stays at the oyster lease, so with Tamsyn in that and Angus in the Baby Bjorn we went walking.... a lot.  There's some great bush tracks all around this area, and I really really need the exercise.  Mind you, I've been pushing the twin pram around Launceston quite a bit lately too.

There's hope for my figure yet...

    The kids look pretty safe to me, but I'm sure you were tired at the end of the day. Don't worry too much about the figure. I never found mine again either after two kids!
    The idea of an "Oyster lease" intrigues me. Got to find out more about that! In Texas we have deer leases. You got me wonderin'!

    Oh, I do remember those days! One in a pouch, the other in the stroller, two hours to pack a bag for a 1/2 hour outing and walking everywhere (I didn't drive then), LOL! But I'd not have traded it for the world and I am betting you wouldn't either! BTW is that your son or son-in-law? Isn't he driving on the wrong side, LOL?

    Oh, I remember those days! So much prep work to go anywhere. Looks like a wonderful place for a family outing, and for the record... I think you look just great!

    Oh wow, what an adventure!! We used to do that with our 4 children, trek into Kakadu, but our puppy wasn't welcome. Look at your gorgeous trip, how amazing!! Wishing you many more fun trips. Assuming your baby was in a car seat not on your husband's lap??!! Tee hee, remember Britney Spears incident?? Love Posie

    I know that sort of juggle. But look at you - taking it in your stride, you are.

    Sounds like a nice outing and worth the two hours of packing. Do you use car seats in Tassie or do all babies sit with the driver??

    Oh Jen I remember those days with my children. Pushing one and one strapped on. It is scary, but looks like you got it all covered nicely. I love the scarf you are crocheting. Just beautiful.
