Mr Cheeky - Butterfly Whisperer


 Drumming class with his home made steel drum.

First time catching his own butterfly. It's now opened the gates to lots of gentle catches. He's a bit of a Steve Perryman/Irwin bug catcher this one. Just the other day he put some toys into the house we'd made for the cicadas. (Obviously they'd get bored in there and need something to do!)

"LOOK MUM! LOOK MUM! It's the REDDEST RED ROCK so far!!!" He says as well as an insect scientist, he wants to be a rock scientist ;)

We were lucky enough to have some visitors from overseas visit last week. We took them and Riley down to the fish ponds. Leah loved the lizards.. caught courtesy of Steve of course.

I liked the 'washing machine hole' and imagined back in the hand washing days, I'd sneak down here to get a load done in the rock pools






... and Riley's best moment was with Dad, having a hold of all the lizards he caught and feeling really responsible and grown up. :)
