King George the Parrot

 While the Kids were here we got them to feed the birds

of Course the king Parrots would come down.

They got so friendly that they would feed directly from us.

These are Wild birds 

You can understand why they are rare







Digger play and the Temple

 By the 30th Grandma and Granddad needed

Timeout, So Gemma and Jakob took the kids out to 

Diggerland Play ground.

Magnus was in Heaven







Afterwards they swung by the Temple

The flowers were out and Evelyn loved them






Nara and Evelyn.

Water Play After a long hot day in the City

 After the trip in the City,

The kids had Napped on the way home, so once homeHow do you cool down.

Water Play of Course





We even got Luna in the Pond.


Museum Trip with the kids

 On the Monday we decided since it was going to be HOT, 

the Melbourne Museum was the place to go. 

The kids were older and could have more fun their

First display was the forest, 

it was feeding time and kids saw the birds, lizards and fish.







They onto the Dinosaurs




Then and tram ride or two to get Donuts








The chocolatier

 We needed to get the kids out of the house 

so the Yarra Valley Chocolatier was the place to go.

The kids had seen the chocolates before but the day 

was great to wonder and play at the grounds.

Especially after eating Ice Cream.








Water Play with Evelyn

Ok, giving Evelyn a water cannon for Christmas maybe was not a good Idea,

But she loved playing with and anyone or dog that was in range was a target.


Who knew that dog-water bowls made great filling stations
