Ice Cream

When Nicole got back from her early shift, Eloise was still having her afternoon nap. She was tired after the two and a half hours we spent rock-hopping down at the brook, falling into the brook (that was me...) and pushing the pram back. Hard work.

We decided to take a bike ride down to Wilston where there is an ice cream shop on Kedron Brook Road. There we had scoops of boysenberry, ferrero rocher, and chocolate amongst other things. Contrary to the impression you might get from the photo, Eloise didn't really want hers, but dragged me into the shop for bottled water (though Coke might have been what she was really after). Is she turning into a health freak?

Nicole was worried that I wouldn't make it back up the hill as it's quite steep and with a baby on the back and high rolling resistance (that's a technical term) the off-road bike I'm riding might not be ideal but after considerable hammering away in first gear we made it up the hill OK, breaking the trip back up with a stop at the Lanham Park playground where Eloise took a fancy to a little girl's pink pram and pushed it around the park for a while.
