A Day Out

We headed to Adventure World today for our annual fun day there! I think it is very expensive for what it is, but the kids all really love it, so once a year we go. Kate invited her friend Jess along, who had never been before so it was a big adventure for her. We arrived at 10am when it opened. I was ready to go at 2pm when I suddenly felt unwell (it was 36 deg) but then I fell asleep and when I woke, I felt much better. We ended up staying until 5pm, when we managed to get everyone together in the same place (we went with Amie and her family) at the same time. The kids wanted to stay until closing (7pm) but I was over it by then.
Here's some pics from our day.

My Granny!

 My dear Grannys birthday is today, not sure exactly when she was born, but think she was around 84/85 when she passed away on the 13th of December 1989. This picture was taken with Amie at 3 mths old.

Summer!

We went for a walk last night down to the creek. Well it used to be a creek, I think the pictures tell a better story.

Birthday Weekend!

I booked a night away for Phils birthday when we got back from camping. Amie looked after the girls for the night and we stayed at the Crown.

It is a five start hotel with many dining experiences as well as the Casino.

Our room was on the 7th floor, and this was the view outside. The girls would have loved the pool area.

We lounged out by the pool in the afternoon. I found a nice place to read and nap for a bit while Phil went to the Casino.

Later on, Phil had a shower and changed for dinner, I had a bath in the huge tub. So relaxing. We went to the Casino for awhile, and had dinner around 10pm (no photos sorry) and then went back to our room around 11pm.

I got a photo of the beautiful sunset before I left the room

And one of the view overlooking the balcony outside our door

We woke to another nice day and of course the great view.

Down in the lifts again for an amazing buffet breakfast

Then a much needed walk after breakfast over to the Swan River. There were so many cyclists, I had to be careful they didn't knock me over!

Beautiful black swans on the river

It was a nice mini break away, now back to reality :)

Happy Birthday Phil!

Ella made and decorated the cake all by herself. Kate opted to go to her friends for a sleepover, Ella didn't mind, it meant she could decorate how she wanted.
