BELLINGEN, NSW

WOW - Dean and Cindy are renting this amazing place just out of Bellingen.  The kids played non-stop and we had plenty of time to relax, unwind and enjoy the fresh air and countryside.

Sitting on the veranda first thing in the morning and last thing at night meditating, enjoying the company and conversations with good friends, listening to the wildlife is my way of life - it has given us a taste of what is to come.

Jordan also had so much fun, he is really going to miss Marni and Leah.

His confidence has grown immensely with swimming in the local creeks - we started off with a nice creek that had great access and gradually got deeper then the next day migrated to a beautiful little spot where the access was a little harder.  Initially Cindy carried Jordan over to the other side where access was easier but then Jordan and Leah decided to go on a little adventure and find their own way over - I think they were more pleased about having the adventure which meant they walked up a little way on the track, crossed the stream through a "mini rapid" then went cross country over the rocks!  After a while playing in the shallows, Marni actually took Jordan across the deep part of the creek to her little island with him hanging onto his little boogy board and back and although he wouldnt do it again he actually did it - that is HUGH!! 

         

Marni's confidence in water was fantasic for Jordan and although he didnt actually try and do the things she was doing (jumping off ropes and bridges) his own confidence grew which allowed him to do more and push himself further than he has previously - I am so proud of him but more important was how proud he was of his own achievements.
