Floriade, Take 2

Liam has been on school holidays for the last 2 weeks. I took all 3 kids to Floriade one last time. I figured that I waited long enough to finally see it so I better go as often as I can. I'm really glad we went again because the "kids corner" that had a petting zoo and soft play area last time now had a reptile area and sand play.


When Liam was there with his school the week before they saw some bamboo that you can run through. He took us there and led ud through the maze.


There was a nice rock near a little stream - the perfect photo op I thought. All I asked was that they sit on the rock and look at me. Obviously Jonas has trouble sitting still...


He also wanted to show us his favorite gnome - a skeleton. There were some new ones since last time. Here are a few of the good ones:


We finished off the day with a trip to the always awesome "castle park":

Last Picnic

We went on a little picnic at Cotter Dam with our friends the Fishers. We brought food to barbecue and then spent some time by the river.

The kids ran around kicking balls and trying to catch butterflies in these bug nets. It was a nice, relaxing day.

Jonas found this spray painted face on the tree and exclaimed to us all that is was an Aboriginal painting. We tried to explain the it was just spray paint but he insisted it was from the Aboriginals. So here they are with an "authentic Aboriginal" painting.
