Last Week's 5km Trek

As we both work full time and time as a whole family is pretty rare, when we are all together we try our hardest to do something that excites all of us. Last week some bright spark came up with a great plan, we should travel out to a small town on the hinterland called Montville. That bit was fine..... Until the same bright spark said we should go and check out the local waterfall, little did me and the kid's know that this walk was 2hours long and a most of the trek would be a climb. Here are a few photo's.
This was about 20min in. The kids are still all smile's at this point.
All still good but it did start to rain so we felt it was best to start the "short" walk to the main waterfall.
Half of the way in (its always when it's to late to turn back) we noticed that everyone we passed was not only giving us very strange looks, but they all looked like they had just walked to hell and back. All of these hardcore walkers were kitted up with there best walking shoes, backpacks, walking poles and water bottles. On the other hand here we were with 3 small children, no water, no food and the great Australian work boots on our feet THONGS. This was no death march this was just another one of MUMMY's sic jokes.
We did have a lot of fun. More importantly we did it as a family. I would highly recommend a day out to Kondilla falls in mountville.
