Another sleepy day at Agnes Waters. The kids took off pretty early and we didn't see a lot of them between the playground and other kids caravans until lunch time. A bit of socialising this morning for Rick and I as we farewelled our friends from Campbelltown and welcomed a lovely couple from Melbourne and their friends (next to them) that happened to live in Leeton back in the late 70's for 10 years. One of the guys is a Max and they have many Max's in their family, so our Max was most impressed, although not as conversational as usual as his friends proved much distraction. I cooked a nice breakie for us, as it is our 10 year anniversary today. Little did I know 10 years ago that I'd be shacked up in some caravan with three kids in tow and a bearded mountain man. This beard caper is proving very unattractive. I also managed to do four loads of washing in my little machine before midday and everything was dry by mid afternoon. Domestic goddess that I am. Got to love the wind for that reason, but it wasn't fun otherwise. So on to lunch because eating is what I do best. We finished cooking the fish cakes from last night and then headed down to the beach for a walk and play. Again, it was stunning, but too breezy to settle in. We walked and drew in the sand for about half an hour but our darling Zachie was quite miserable so we had to turn back. I think his ears were bothering him and he just needed to get out of the wind. A quiet afternoon and I even managed to sneak in a snooze. Rick took Zach to the chemist for something for his eczema behind his ears that we discovered at lunch and ended up needing to see a doctor as it was infected. Poor little mite, Rick said he was exhausted and slept from the chemist through the doctors appointment and then in the car until we reached the restaurant for dinner. So on to more food, dinner beckoned and we headed to "The Tree" at 1770. Right on the point and with a fabulous vantage point, it was renovated in 2009 and is quite snazzy now. Locals refer to it as the "tree of knowledge" and rumour has it they solved the problems of the world over a few quiet ones under the shade of the tree. Its was formerly the only general store in the area for decades and has much history and nostalgia. We had a lovely meal to celebrate our anniversary and the kids were incredible. They coloured-in and said very little which gave Rick and I a chance to speak and spend time together. Got to love that. A beautiful night and I couldn't have asked for a nicer dinner or day just hanging out with our little family.
