We certainly had the team spirit on this adventure. After this photo we all piled into the water in our clothes for an unplanned swim. Everyone loved it.

We found a great little back beach in Manly yesterday and went for an explore. Amazingly, we didn't get there until 4.30 and all we had was my phone to take pictures with and it did ok.

I gave P a surfing lesson on Sunday (our 6th wedding anniversary).

She used my awesome wood board and everyone wanted to ask her about it on her way to the water. hilarious.

Getting to the beach is not as easy as running down with just a board and a leg rope.

After Indigo had one night away at a farm in Nelson Bay this week, she jumped straight out the car and asked me to buy a donkey.

She was especially taken with this ass.

Indi learns a valuable photography skill.

by Cam, P and Indigo


Indigo has had her photo taken many times and obviously in the process has picked up on the famous Pete and Lara tip "get down on their level". I watched Indi set this photo up with great procession. She has also worked out that if she puts the camera on the floor and shoots the shot it is much easier to push the button.

'My Finger in the Way', by Indigo

Finger in the way, originally uploaded by Indigo Summer Craig.

As noted earlier, Indi does get her fingers in the way every now and then.

However, to her credit we can call out that she is blocking the lens and she knows what to do.

Indi loves this bottle. We have heaps of photos of it now, but this is the best one.

Love. Hate

by Cam, P and Indigo


On the way to the car, originally uploaded by Indigo Summer Craig.

In this photo, Indigo is carrying her little lamb, 'Lamby'.

Lamby sleeps with her every night. She tells us that Lamby is not allowed to be covered by blankets at night and she cuddles him in tight.

However, when she wakes up in the night sometimes wanting to get out and play she is told that she has to stay in and go back to sleep. In a rage, she searches for the nearest thing to throw out of the cot in protest. Often, it is Lamby.

As Lamby flies over the walls of the cot, she realises her mistake and immediately calls for Lamby to be given back after he hits the floor.

'My Favourite Things' by Indigo

important things, originally uploaded by Indigo Summer Craig.

Indigo likes to snap things that she loves. We have so many photos of the portable DVD player it is not funny.

Her library of photos has random shots of everything she uses around the houses. Here is her Thomas ticket. Unassisted.

'The House', by Indigo

by Cam, P and Indigo


montage, originally uploaded by Indigo Summer Craig.

On one of her trips around the house with the camera, Indi stopped in at every room and snapped a shot. Here are the bedrooms.

Again, no assistance at all, she just found the camera and took off with it for a roam and then we come back later and see these results.

'Mum and Miler', by Indigo

One of her best shots which was taken at home on a weekday when the gang were kicking around the house.

I turned into a Black and White shot on the computer. Nice work Indi!

Ocky came over for a surf and dinner on Monday night and managed to pose for a photo for Indigo.

In this photo, she used my mobile phone camera!

Introducing a new photo contributor to the blog: Indigo

by Cam, P and Indigo


indi_icon_large, originally uploaded by Indigo Summer Craig.

Indigo has taken to photography in a big way. She runs around the house with the digital camera and snaps anything she can at her height.

Now, you might think we help her. Well, we did to start things off. However, now she can do the whole thing herself including pulling the camera out of the bag, turning it on, reviewing the photos and turning it off.

A lot of the time her fingers get in the way (e.g. in this photo http://www.flickr.com/photos/24445447@N04/2317947290/ ).

So, our budding photographer now has her own flickr account and I will add some of her work to the blog shortly.
