Dad is studying very hard at the moment for his big exam on the 5th, but still finds time for play. We love rough-housing with him - Mum just doesn't get it!

Portrait gallery

Lily What are we going to do today?

Gran We are going to drive for a little bit and then go to the national portrait gallery

Lily To see what?

Gran A picture of Paul Keating and maybe the Queen

Mum *quietly* And we can throw eggs at it

Harper Maybe there will be a picture of a queen with a hole in her tummy and we can throw balls through it

The girls peruse the map - the guide gave them 5 things to look for: a green man with little people crawling on him, a family with a boy wearing a dress, Simpson and his donkey and a lady with a fan and a flying banana
and they did it!

A bit tired

Such a big day at Questacon, and then our picnic was sleeted out! Lovely afternoon and dinner at John and Leo's and then back to the hotel to.....snore!

We finally got to meet the wonderful Smits, who have been so generous with their advice and closet! Here with mum Ali

Doctors and nurses

Lily was the patient, in hospital to have a baby, and Beatrix the doctor.
The baby is born. It is a pink fluffy cat
The doctor's reaction: "Oh my goodness, it's an animal!"

Windy in Five Dock

Beatrix, Harper, Seamus and Lily. Met the Smarts at a great park in Five Dock - voted best park in Australia in 2010!

The gale force winds that were forecast couldn't stop us having fun.
