Walking 2:00:00 [3] 5.0 km (24:00 / km)

Today was FATHER'S DAY!!! I spent days preparing for this and in the morning I woke mum up at 5.45 to say IT'S FATHER'S DAY!!! and CAN WE GET DAD'S PRESENT OUT NOW????
Mum said that part of FATHER'S DAY!!! involves Dad not getting up at 5.45 so she distracted me by cooking pancakes but wouldn't let me eat them until we had messed around with flowers and sticky tape and cups of coffee and all sorts. Fiiiinally at 6.45 I was allowed to creep upstairs to gently let Dad know that ITS FATHER'S DAY!!!! I MAKE YOU PANCAKES!!! WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A PICNIC IN YOUR BEDROOM!!!! I MADE YOU PRESENT!!! IT IS A RED ONE AND THE BLUE ONE IS WOOOOFIES!!!!
Dad was really happy. He loved our abstract footprint art and enjoyed his picnic in the upstairs loungeroom. When the sun had been up for long enough we rang Grandad Ray and told his answering maching to WAKE UP!!! ITS FATHER'S DAY!!!! and later rang again to tell Grandad the same thing in person. Similar for Grandad Tim but we called him much later.

Anyway, so for FATHER'S DAY!!!! we went to a very low key fun day at a winery where there was a bouncy castle and a small pizza. Then we went for a loooong walk in the Porongorups which was just brilliant.
We walked up and up and up for aaaages and I hid inside a hollow tree and had my picture taken by lots of Japanese tourists and at the top of the big hill I had a bit of a scare when Mum and Dad hauled me over some boulders into a freezing gust of wind. I cheered up when I got to climb through a tunnel, and then I nearly got away from Dad going up a big ladder to the top. The top was an anticlimax compared to my trip back down the ladder, documented on film by several Japanese tourists. Mum looked a bit pale when I got to the bottom.

We FINALLY had our picnic on a rock and then I ran all the way back down the hill. I like running down hill.

Mum and Dad were really impressed that I could walk all the way up a mountain and still want to run back down, but I thought they of all people should understand my innate need to exercise.
