Good Friday.

Today is Good Friday. We're still in Deniliquin, and we're still getting our share of extra sleep! For most of the morning it rained, which is good for the area given how dry it has been. It meant most of the morning was in doors, waiting expectantly for the cousins to arrive. Auntie Jen, Uncle Phil (Haircut) and Mel, Jess and Ben were all due at lunchtime after their trip up from Melbourne.

Mama went to church, and when she came back, Ethan announced that he knew all about Jesus. This really consists of knowing that Jesus gives you bread and champagne, based on his visit to the local church as part of primary school religious studies. Mama didn't try to convince him otherwise, but we did get songs such as "God is strong, stronger than King Kong" and "I'm in the Lord's Army". I remember being in the Kiss Army when I was a kid. Mama has taught scripture before to children, so she is very good with dealing with those intricacies of kids questions.

When all the cousins arrived, they bought a bit of sunshine with them. This meant that after lunch we attempted to go down to the Deniliquin Skate Park. Little did we realise that it was a fair dinkum skate park, so when we got there expecting to ride our scooters around, we weren't expecting the huge drops off the edge of each pipe. Suffice to say, as the rain dried out, more youff (youth) showed up and showed us up with their skateboards and bikes. We watched them for a while, and then went over to the park for a play on some normal swings and slides.

Ethan enjoys having all the cousins here, and is in his element with Ben. Aidan is still a bit disoriented, and gets worked up with everyone around. Callum loves all the extra attention, and its good for Anth and I to be able to palm him off most of the time. More of Anth's family arrive tomorrow, so the gang will all be here!

Ciao for Now, Kiss Army Angry Dad.
