Hello all!

Our first week of vacation care has just flow by! We started the week with Garden Party Games like giant jenga, connect 4, mollky and viking chess - provided by Molly, former staff at Eden Hills OSHC.

On Tuesday we went to Hahndorf Farm Barn where we participated in some hands on animal experiences. We fed carrots to the goats, deer, geese, emu's and donkey's in the paddock.  We got to milk Daisy the cow and Dianne ever had a lizard on her head! After lunch we got to feed some of the very cute baby animals and pat them. 

On Wednesday Rashad Tucker and Greg ran a Basketball clinic at OSHC. We practiced our skills, had work in teams and ran around A LOT! After we had a fresh and healthy shared lunch. 

On Thursday we visit the Old Adelaide Gaol, we were incredibly lucky with the weather and had a fun and interesting day! We had to crack codes to escape, playing in the rec yard like prisoners and saw some artifacts from the museum. 

Can wait to see everyone next week!
