In the Valley with the Sprites

Though we were sad to leave the rainbow gathering, we were glad to be heading home. After driving all the way up there in  and take 4 days to get homethings a little slower and take 4 days to get home, which sounded like a good idea at the time, but the reality was spending twice as many days bored in the car.

Littletree managed to pass the time by singing. At the rainbow someone had been singing a Christian song that has a refrain of "Jesus, Prince of Peace, Glory Halleluja". Littletree clearly had the song stuck in her head, and she sung it constantly for about 1500km. Well, a version of it anyway:

Jesus, princess bees.

We did stop often so we could stretch our legs and let Littletree have a run around. Her frisbee skills are greatly improving

We also searched for faeries in the gorgeous tropical parks around

Finally we made it to Valleysprite's house for a visit. The kids all had a great time, playing with the ducks,

Playing in the forest cubby 

and climbing the sheaoak saplings

Valleysprite made an amazing cheesecake - all organic with flaxseed flour

and we finished off with a go on their ginormous swing

It's seriously the best swing ever!

It was a fun trip, but it was nice to be home. Except for the huge pile of laundry we brought back with us!
