Hello Winter (June)

 We started June with a long weekend.   Why isn’t every weekend 3 days???

MrE Goes to the Circus

MrE was so excited to attend his little mate’s birthday party at The Circus Factory.  He had so much fun doing circus tricks and even tried the trapeze (it took him an hour and 50 minutes but he did it!)

Australia’s Reptile World

On the Monday, we ventured to Australia’s Reptile World for some wildlife fun and a picnic.  We were lucky with the timing as we had lunch and saw almost everything before the heaven’s opened.  It’s a great little wildlife park and definitely hands-on; our tally: wombat, alligator, Galapagos tortoise, python = check!

MrE Says the Darnedest Things: Wildlife Edition

Getting up close and personal with a baby alligator:

MrE: Is that a baby croc?

Keeper: No, it’s an alligator

MrE: Oh.  The croc is soft

Keeper: It’s an alligator

MrE: Oh.  Can I pat his mouth?  Please?

Me: Umm, NO!

Keeper: Laughing. No, he might bite you.

In Spider World, Mr H thought it was funny to play a trick on the Keeper.  The Keeper is in a glass windowed room and so the public can funnel web spiders (very poisonous) being milked and other spider keeping activities.  The Keeper was busy putting together a tank when MrH started tapping on the glass to get his attention.  Once the Keeper looked up, Mr H frantically pointed behind the Keeper.  The Keeper fell for it hook, line and sinker looking around to see if one had gotten loose.  Haha.  At least The Keeper could take a joke and had a chuckle at himself.

They even had dinosaurs!

MissE Says the Darnedest Things

MissE: Look, Eden!  There are superheroes there!

MrE: Which ones?

MissE: Batman, Supergirl, Catwoman, and The Honk.

Me: What?

MissE: Batman, Catwoman…

Me: No, the green one.  What did you call it?

MissE: The Honk.

I celebrated another year older this month.  I had a ‘birthday-eve’ celebrate at work with the Mortal Sin cake: New York cheesecake, Royal chocolate mousse, topped with a layer of caramel cream.

For my birthday, I was spoiled with goodies – a new iPad mini and 2 GoT POP! Figures – and not so spoiled with a double meltdown too (Eloise was crying because her birthday was too far away and Eden was crying because he wanted my new toys).  For lunch, we tried a new retro café ‘Daisy’s Milkbar’ that was too cool for school.

This month ended with a work conference.  When the day business was done, we had a gala dinner to attend!  I had my hair done for the first time since my wedding and had the opportunity to dress up.  Yay!
