As per usual Saturday is a busy day and the Graham Girls set off just before 10.00am for a trip to The Mall and some Shopping therapy.
The Graham Boys headed off to Vasona Lake Country Park for a walk with Sammy and then doughnuts on the way home.
There is an old Jet aircraft in the park and Elliot and Tommy enjoyed climbing on it.
They were good company and had a great time.
This was the first running water I had seen since arrived over 2 weeks ago but the lake is very low and the river feeding it is controlled from a reservoir further upstream so the flow is low at the moment, but at least there is a flow.
You can see how low the river is as it enters Lake Vasona here.
In the evening we headed to Brookside Swimming and Tennis Club for an Oktoberfest German evening with Sausages and German Beer. I'm afraid I found the Beer a bit too strong so stuck to Lemon flavoured water. It was worth getting some glad rags on and Leslie and Fraser are looking very smart at their front door.
We also smartened up a bit, but we were the oldest by about 20 years at the party and felt a bit out of place, but were made very welcome. Most of the guests worked in Silicon valley in IT and Fraser and Leslie enjoyed a conversation with a guy who worked for Google and his wife used to work for Disney as did Fraser over 10 years ago.
The complex is a Members club and has a limit of 250 families. This is the pool and there are 9 Tennis Courts plus a small function room.
