Kings Park



With keeping with our theme of enjoying the spring sunshine, today we headed to the famous Kings Park to get some fresh air.




The grounds are beautifully kept, and of course with such beautiful weather and being school holidays, the park was very busy.





We stopped at Mt Eliza lookout which looks out over Perth City.





Then we set off on a trail, across bridges which took us high into the trees, what a view!




After that big walk, it was definitely time for some refreshments.




Ella wanted me to take a photo of her beside these pretty flowers!




Kings Park has two wonderful playgrounds. First we visited the Synergy playground which is aimed at older kids. It was really packed with lots of picnickers! The girls' rode their scooters around for a bit before playing.






We then headed around to the Ivy Watson playground which is probably better suited to smaller kids. My girls still loved it though.

Cheap Entertainment


Bathers, water, balloons and sunshine.

This kept the girls' happy for ages. Even the cat joined in. A beautiful 27 deg C, made it just perfect.

Biscuit Baking

Today I made a batch of afghans. They are one of my favourite biscuits, and I used the recipe from one of my favourite cook books - The Edmonds Cookbook, one of NZ's favourites cook books that is a must in every NZ household.



Afghans

200g butter
75g sugar
175g flour
25g cocoa
50g cornflakes

Soften butter, add sugar and beat to a cream; add flour, cocoa and lastly cornflakes. Put spoonfuls on a greased oven tray and bake about 15mins at 180 deg C. When cold, ice with chocolate icing and put walnuts on top.
