Looking back at the pictures that I have taken, I can honestly say that Christian likes climbing trees. Dan and Christian did some quality bonding time over the summer. There were many Saturdays that Dan would ask Christian if he wanted to go for a hike and they would be off in a matter of 30 minutes with sunscreen and bug spray in hand. It has been fun to watch as they have grown through their hiking experiences. They would always come back and tell us what they saw and Christian would always tell us what they needed to bring for the next time he and Dad went out on a hike.
Christian is such a passionate child. He loves swimming as much as he likes the hikes with Dan. When we take him to the pool he is usually under the water more than he is on top. Usually he pops up and yells "Mom how long was that" and down he goes again. Through his swimming at school and swimming at lessons, he has really built up his speed in the pool as well challenging anybody to a swimming contest.
Many good things have come out of this summer. As you can see he has found a friend in Hugh Abrahams. Hugh spent many days over this summer helping Christian conquer his Star Wars Lego game and going on trips together. Hugh invited Christian up to his grandparents for a couple of days in Bundaberg. They hit the beach early and swam all day. They also spent time feeding turtles and trying to catch fish. In turn, Dan took the boys to the Adventure Park Ropes Course.
Christian is a very active child and we definitely wouldn't want it any other way. Now he is beginning to look forward to the time that he will spend with his Mema Hoeger and Roger who are visiting in February.
