Kicked Jen out of bed this morning for a run - has been getting stressed with kid's behaviour so thought it best for her to get some sort of release. Kids had a bit of a sleep in - probably helped the situation. Once through the writing in their journals ( they have to write in it everyday - bit like pulling teeth at times! ) we headed to the Hobart Aquatic Centre for a dip. I managed to survive 1000ms, but only barely as I am getting pretty out of shape in this department, whilst the kids and Jen had some fun on the slide and in the "warm" pool. Once sufficiently chlorinated we headed to the Taste of Hobart - an annual event which brings together a number of wineries, fine food and multicultural restaurants for one big fest inclusive of street entertainment, kid's events and music. The kids had a ball with cooking classes, a jumping castle, a 1960's slot car race (electric mini track), mini-golf and face painting. Our friends Jenny and Keith were able to join us and we tasted some of the local fares - Moo Brew, assorted gourmet sausage, cheese and tempura exotic mushrooms (too much batter and oil - not recommended). A short stroll to see the boats (some from the recent Sydney to Hobart yacht race) and we were heading back to the Caravan Park with the jumping pillow - a 15 m x 5m (rougly) inflated matt - kind of like a trampoline - kept the kids hopping for hours while we visited with Jenny and Keith and enjoyed some local Sauvignon Blanc. It's always a good day when the kids are exhausted! Off to Freycine(t) -they say it without the 't' at the end - sort of French - if you know what I mean! -- in the AM.
