After New Years Eve it was back to work for Andrew! And it was up to me to entertain the children by myself in a strange city... but I was up for the challenge! We bought an annual pass to the museum because they had some cool extra stuff going on over the holidays - LEGO and science things - so Charlie was in heaven! Elly really got into it as well and was building up a storm. We found an indoor play place that the kids went crazy for, and inflatables place and the mall next to where we were staying had 2 fun play areas as well as a petting zoo for the holidays! I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure there is way more going on for kids in Australia than back home in Canada...
 |
| We tried to make it to the strand as often as we could, picking up Andrew straight from work and having a picnic dinner seemed to work well for us! |
 |
| We would bring a lunch to the museum and sit by the window to eat because it overlooked the water! Sometimes we would see fish swimming down below. |
 |
| Charlie lost his body in a science experiment! |
 |
| Both this activity and the arch one above reminded me of our days at the train museum in Ipswich... |
 |
| 10 months old! |
 |
| Elly was so brave to hold this snake! There was no way Charlie was going to though! |
 |
| At Chipmunks indoor play place Hazel loved these spinning teacups! around and around and around... |
 |
| We only really discovered these air guns the second time we went to Chipmunks, Charlie and Elly loved shooting balls down below |
 |
| Charlie did NOT want to go into the petting zoo! Elly was so excited, until the baby ducklings and chicks would jump out of her basket! |
 |
| Charlie loves taking care of Hazel! He's such a great older brother |
 |
| Elly fell asleep on the way to the waterpark so Charlie, Hazel and I climbed up to Kissing Point Barracks. Elly and Daddy got to have a little rest in the van. |
 |
| Letter "N" in our summer of ABCs included making froot loop necklaces |
 |
| More LEGO at the museum! |
 |
| Hazel is a watermelon monster! All the kids are actually... they're going to be sad when we go back to Canada and you can't get watermelon year-round! |
 |
| Elly is a shell collector after my own heart! |
