Max the gorgeous

We had a lovely day at Sydney Park with Max, Ally and William (or "Big William" as we call him, as he is at big school). Here is Max with Renee - they were competing as to who was happier w the situation!

Three grey elephants balancing, step by step on a piece of string. Thought it was such a wonderful stunt that they called for another elephunt.

Easter show: rides

Lily
We lasted from 10am to 4pm, a day of non-stop action, and rounded it off with our second maerry-g-round ride. We saw 2 lots of people we knew (both families with multiples) and other than the animal nursery liked the freestyle motorbike show best. Go figure!! Thanks Mum and Dad!

Easter show: the CWA tearoom saved my life

After a lot of excitement Mum and Dad were VERY pleased to be in the expert hands of the CWA for their cup of tea. Their devastation that the scone oven was broken was overcome by the quality of the lamingtons.

Oh, and it gave us a chance to look at all the loot from our dora showbags.
This was our favourite display in the food hall - urban gardens by SE Qld. 18 April 2011.

Easter show: animal nursery

Dad and Lily at the animal nursery. At $1 for a cup of food you certainly get value for money!

Disproving the myth

The teachers at school said that mum and dad need to get us to do more craft at home as I "don;'t like painting". Who are they kidding?
