Jonah turns TWO

We celebrated our grandson Jonah turning TWO today with a small family bbq! The weather was a bit showery on and off, but by no means cold.

He loved getting another present to open and opened each one very carefully

The singing birthday card was a big hit, and very funny

a petrol pump!

another present

a rocket! WOW!

Amie painted Jonah's new room last week, and together with Brendan they put together Jonah's new car bed for him last night

What a fantastic present!

We gave him some summer clothes, summer pj's, a book, the petrol pump and this cool car!

he was so excited by it (we knew it would be a big hit) it went inside and outside all afternoon

and backwards he goes

and then he disappeared

and the wonderful cake Amie made!

 

Happy Birthday beautiful Jonah

We love you xoxo

School Excursion

Today, I went with Ella's class to Caversham Wildlife Park. It was a lovely spring day despite rain being forecast. The kids were all really well behaved (small groups of 3 made it easier) and we had plenty of time to wander around before stopping for a picnic lunch.

Here are (lots) of photos from our day!

Ella loved the name of this 'koala'

the start of the farm show

with a bit of a talk about farming in Australia

Introducing one of the 3 dogs - Bill

Bill follows commands and rounds up the sheep

onto the sheep shearing

and on to look around - first up a llama and donkey

Lots of goats lazing in the sun

very cute babies

Ella and her friend Jessica pat the babies

Ella thought this resembled Jonah! :)

fawn love the sun too

sounds asleep possum

Not sure what type of lizard this was

lots of different birds to look at

red foxes

koalas with their babies

Ella gets up close to a sleeping one- so cute!

some of Ella's classmates check out the wombat

and the snake

the kangaroos were a big hit - this is where we spent most of the time

the joey in the mothers pouch looks like its head is going to fall off

more lazing in the sun

this cheeky bird thought one of the mums biscuit looked rather tasty

First Day of Spring

I love this time of year. I love spending time in the garden before it gets too hot. I love going for walks and looking at other garden. I'm really enjoying all the spring flowers that are coming out!
