Even Cowgirls get the Blues


Unless they're wearing boots like these ... Yes, I know they are pink, but the beauty of cowboy boots is that you don't have to show the fancy top bit.

The major excitement yesterday for the kids was seeing snow, leftover from last week's unusual snowfall. The day itself was bright and sunny and warm, making the snow even more of novelty.

We also visited the MacDonald Observatory, and saw some very big telescopes (Phoebe was disappointed we couldn't look through them), and we also had a solar viewing, which was incredible.

Then we came back to our site and I cooked chile and cornbread for dinner, while Hol & Andrew did a bit of baseball practice. See, we're practically Texans.

As I watched the picture come up I thought you had found a new type of exotic plant from ancient Peru.... then boots attatched it to the ground.. Andrew, good for walking? Not good for the snow. The kids looked well attired.
Your meal sounded typical American, hope you can find a good 'ol Aussie pie some place! Danny is expecting Hol back for the Soccer season, and ofcouse a homegrown 'Star' when the baseball starts.

Love your boots! I always wanted a pair similar to that. I am wondering if the locals actually wear them? Bet they do. Also, quite envious of your campervan. How cool is that!
I bumped into Danny in Balmain yesterday and can confirm that Holden is booked in for the "football" season.
