easter monday was probably my favourite part of easter.
it's our designated family day.
the boys tried to out vote our annual apple picking but jevan over-ruled them.
and we combined it with a little hike at the zig zag railway.
the weather was perfect,
we even left the house with plenty of time to spare
(this never happens, like NEVER.)
and we even had snacks packed.
if only every time could go this smoothly.
the apple were so so good.
we ate half the bag on the way home from our hike.
we went back to bilpin fruit bowl this year because our the one we go to had no fruit left.
i love watching the boys each year picking apples,
each year they get a little bit taller and don't need our help.
luckily we still have zayden,
he's too lazy to even try and reach to the good ones on his own.
on the way to our hike we stopped at pie in the sky,
and FINALLY got pies.
whenever we go to this place the pies are all gone except for the apples.
they are my favourite pies in sydney.
pulling up into clarence station was awesome.
it was better than i had imagined seeing pictures on blogs.
old carriages, steam trains, commuter trains just sitting there abandoned.
the rust had overtaken a couple.
i could literally have spent my whole day here.
we hiked down to the tunnel.
makai wanted to keep going,
we decided to head back the other way.
it just got darker and darker.
the smoke from the steam engines is still on the tunnel roof.
the boys thought it was pretty neat.
i still remember going on the trains here when i was little.
i can't wait until they re-open so i can take the boys.
after hours and hours exploring here we headed back and had a little toilet break at the blue mountains botanical gardens in mount tomah.
the view of the mountains here is un-real.
we found autumn trees here that were perfect for a leaf fight
and hills perfect for have rolling races.
we ended the day with the boys having filthy faces and dirty clothes,
which translates to them having the best time ever.
