Free water play ground

Rocks Riverside park (info here) Is a great park for kids. It has a water area, a few different play grounds with equipment aimed at different ages and stages of development (you try and tell Lumpy she can't climb the huge rope structure!) Parking is free, making it a cheap and fun day out.

We got there just before 9, and by 920 the place had filled up!

having a swim.

walking in on of the little pools

After a swim, we decided it was time to go on a pixie hunt! sadly no Pixies were found. We did how ever find ducks and a vegetable garden!

All this swimming and pixie hunting makes us hungry!

Have a great week.

Jelly ice blocks

With a 29° spring day approaching I looked for great ice block ideas and found one where you used jelly crystals and ice block molds.
I don't have ice block molds so used silicon dinosaur cake shaped molds and craft ice block sticks!
These ice blocks do not melt easily either so less mess for mummy!

Ice block sticks in the molds

Jelly crystals


Adrady for the freezer

These worked very well, tasted great (just like jelly on a stick!) and didn't melt all over the floor.

Arts and crafts

Sick mummy + active toddler + well stocked craft supplies = a few moments to relax.

Using glue for feathers and ice block sticks

Our new organisation, tidy supplies yet inviting to Lumpy.

June run down!

The start of June saw us off to see Play School Live. Very exciting day!

Daddy and Lumpy ready to go in


Mummy and Lumpy excited that Humpty Dumpty came out!

We then took a trip to Serendipity farm (info here. What a great place! they take in neglected/abandoned animals and open their "farm" up on weekends and school holidays, all for a donation

Patting the pony! she was also able to brush it.


Feeding time for the calf.

We finished off the month with a camping trip to Bribie Island (Yes i know, middle of wainter, beach camping, in a camper trailer! NUTS!)

It was warm enough at mid day to play in the lagoon.

Will try and do a July run down later this week! x

VERY VERY SORRY!

Ok it has been a long time since posts!
I have had a lot going on in that time - personal health issues and family health issues.
So I will now start doing some posts!

Very busy week!

Ok, So there was a 6 day period in May!

Started on the friday with checking in to the Seaworld resort, heading to Movie world. Followed by Saturday at Seaworld, Tuesday Mor ing we were on a 6am flight to Newcastle! very early morning for us.
We got into Newcastle and drove to Sydney, where we stayed in Darling Habour for a night and back to Newcastle for a 445pm flight home!

We squeezed SO much in while in Sydney! Drove the scenic route from Newcastle airport to Sydney, Lunch by the Harbour, a loop on the monorail, arvo tea in the Botanic gardens next to the Opera house, Dinner at Start city Casino, a trip to ths Aquarium and back to Newcastle for lunch, a visit to a beach for coffee and then back to the airport! We had a very exhausted Lumpy who was incredubly well behaved on the flights!
