Ever tried standing on a cliff edge with a two year old? It’s scary. It looks like we’re standing about two metres back, but it’s actually about five. And I would. Not. Let. Go. Of. His. Hand.

DAY FOUR

A trip to Husky is never complete without fish and chips. I don’t know if it really is ‘world famous’, but it tastes good enough to be.

DAY FIVE

Stopped at Milton on the drive home to Canberra. Would have taken more pics but got lost in an antique shop for about an hour.

See how Toby is eyeing his plate suspiciously? Well it’s banana bread with ricotta and honey. He. Didn’t. Like. It. Toddlers are insane.

Reason #352 why I love my iPhone:  I can take fun photos whenever and whereever I like without dragging my SLR around.

It goes without saying that my SLR did accompany my every step during our family holiday at Jervis Bay in April (yes, even on the beach with fine, fine sand and brand new very expensive lenses – I am dedicated!), but my iphone fits in my pocket and with fun little apps like shakeitphoto which mimics an old school polaroid, there is no post processing required and my memories are captured in a whimsical, retro style which I really love! Since I’ve had it, I’ve documented parts of my daily life which I never would have bothered with before.

So here is day one and day two of our holiday, captured with shakeitphoto.

I work hard to get my horizons straight when I use my iphone. NO EDITING LATER!!!

I took my camera and didn’t use it, partly because I was on strict stroller duties due to hub’s broken wrist, but also because I was having too much fun playing with photography apps on my iPhone! I heart my iPhone. I also heart retro photographs.

I have wanted to buy an old sx70 polaroid camera for a while now, and would also love to have a play around with some old plastic toy cameras, which I’ve never done before… but now that I have these cool apps, I don’t think I’ll bother: this is just too much fun! Plus, who doesn’t love instant gratification?!

Despite a pretty fun morning, I am really disappointed that I missed getting a shot of Toby taking his very first pony ride. I’m not sure what I did, but in my excitement, I must have forgotten to hit save, and I lost the pic. Really bummed about that, because it was one of the biggest highlights of the day. That, and when we were watching the goat stud prizes and he refused to accept that they were goats and kept yelling out ‘CANEL!’ (camel) at the top of his lungs. He loved the pony ride, loved it (although I’m not sure whether it was the actual pony or the cool white helmet he got to wear that was more appealing).
