MelbournePienaars Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 no problem!Have had 2 fabulous days out as a result of this book which included sipping a latte while watching dolphins frolick in the sea in front of me at St Kilda as well as a fun time for my little one at a farm where she milked cows, played with baby animals etc.Have lots of things lined up - to-do from the book ... as time and money will allow :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllisonW Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Sounds wonderful - I laughed at myself in terms of my own gender stereotypes when i saw that the book was written by a man! It is wonderful to see the changing times!Yes, there are always wonderful things to do with your kids and so little money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But is good to know there are still things that dont have to cost a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
