Anzac day

No real words to say as l think the picture says it all.

Our new pup

Here are 3 of the pups (out of 4) and l am not sure which one is ours yet, as we have not met her but plan to in another 2 or so weeks.

l'll be Newsboys Lyrics

Newsboys are one of my favourite Christian bands, and l was blessed to see them on Monday evening for Easterfest. Michael Tait (was the lead singer for DC Talk another fav band) but is now lead singer for Newsboys. A great Move.

Anyhow their new song l'll be is coming out on their new CD in June 2010. I have included the lyrics just so you can learn the song before the Cd comes out.

l'll Be

If your sinking
If your loosing control
And your heartache has taken its toll
If theres things you've never thought before
Like your all alone
Afraid that love won't come home.

You will find me
l'm at the point of your breaking
Behind all the noise
When your world is
Darkest l can still see
Cause when theirs nothing left
l'll be

l'll be

Like a small tow
Talk is getting around
Now that you've found
A friend can still bring you down.

And when their faith in you comes crashing down
Know that l'm still yours
l'll be the hope that endures

You'll find me
l'm at your breaking point
Behind all the noise
When your world is
Darkest l can still see
Cause whens theres nothing left
l'll be

l'll be the light to help you find
All the things you left behind
Wondering will love come back
l'll be whispering you're still mine
When loneilness invades your mind
Your gonna be alright
You will find me
l'm at the point of your breaking
Behind all the noise

You will find me
l'm at the point of your breaking
Behind all the noise
When your world is
Darkest l can still see
Cause when theres nothing left, yeah
Cause when theres nothing left
l'll be.

In 1914 Melbourne suffered a severe drought which prompted extra water supplies for Melbourne. It wasn't until 1917 that the site was found which is now Silvan Dam. Construction started in 1926 and was completed by 1931.

Nowdays it is a popular place for families to gather and enjoy a picnic in the beautiful gardens.

Things to do:

Try the short 20min forest walk that follows Stonyford creek.

Visit the lookout for views of the reservior and dam wall.

Enjoy a BBQ or picnic.

Check out the local wildlife, birds such as kookaburra, rosellas and magpies.

During a sunny day in the April school holidays we thought we would take the kids out for some exercise and decided Silvan Dam was the place to see.

Did the walk down by Stonycreek and was a lovely short walk (mind you the kids pretty much ran the whole way around), but they got to see some moss on the trees and some wild mushrooms.

Next to the playground, where the kids enjoyed the slides and climbing frames but were soon stating that they were hungry so snack next where we ate at the picnic area amongst the kookaburra, magpies and rosellas all who came down to check us out.

The kids enjoyed their time downt here and stated they would like a BBQ/picnic there next time.
