Toowoomba and Walking

I felt better today. As part of my journeys, I had to travel through the city of Toowoomba. This city is about 130km inland, west of Brisbane. I had been there once before, but I can't really remember it. This time around, I was amazed at where the original town was located. It is at the top of a range, with a fantastic outlook back from whence you came! It apparently has great farming soil, although as we're in the middle of a drought at the moment everything is quite dry, despite the rainclouds you can see in this photo.

As I was home a little earlier than normal on my return this afternoon, I thought it would be a nice idea for all of us to go out for a family walk. Sometimes, this can be like a root canal. Callum was willing to come, although he sat on the front step playing with the stone wombat who guards our door. Aidan must have had some sugar juice, as he bolted outside and ran up and down the street before we could get him back. Ethan just plain didn't want to come. Anth stood in Wednesday's dog turd whilst trying to get her runners on, and Wednesday ran around stupified by the mere fact she was allowed to come.

We took the soccer ball and walked down the street passed the local primary school to the park. Ethan managed to get over that we hadn't taken his scooter with him when some kids at the school yelled out "hello"to him. Once we got to the park we ran around, kicked the soccer ball, and chased after Callum as he crawled around. Everyone finally was happy. The one problem we did strike was that Wednesday is just not a puppy anymore, even though in her head she thinks she is. She ran around stupid for about 10 minutes, before she started throwing up. MMMmmm Dog Vomit. She's ok now, just resting!

Ciao for Now, I ain't cleaning THAT up Angry Dad.
