second coming




Five days after leaving Canberra, Beck, Max and Rob turned up in Armidale for 4-5 days. It was a boisterous and tiring few days with Max at the helm and each day started with him climbing into our bed at 5.30 am. He spent his time thereafter:
* hunting for spiders and other insects (and associated entomological work)
* playing in various parks (with ever hair-raising and unintended use of equipment)
* shopping
* bush walks
* watching videos, and
* beating us at his favourite game of matching pairs of animal tiles laid face down.
I played him four or five times and only won once. He also received a variety of presents and went shopping for a few more, though he didn't quite realise they were for him. Once upon a time, young kids were in bed by 19.30, but Max managed to keep going for an hour or so longer.

The picture show Max hunting for lizards, tadpoles, and yabbies (crustaceans).
