It's gonna be...RED!

3 metres of red chiffon...will one day be a party dress for a 6 year old!
But in the meantime, Cooper will try it out...
Or Lily will try out her fashion design skills on him!

More water

What else do you do after a loooooong bike ride/walk in the hot sun? (And since the girls have new togs....)

Owl Day Out

Bad pun I know. We went to Owlcatraz (Shannon)...this was the only owl we were allowed to photograph! But it really was cool seeing live owls up close from inside their enclosure (even though it was their sleep time).
Some of the kids' photos from the rest of the visit...if I had any wall space left, I'd frame this one of Lily's!
This baby alpaca was born the day before!!! Now Lily wants one!
We also went for a ride on Thomas, and stopped at the lolly stop station!
Fish 'n chips and a play in the park at Greytown on the way home (via an afternoon shopping at Queensgate that is!)
Lachie's ostrich impression!
Love this photo too!

Monkeys and Dolphins!

For all the doubters (and few believers) HERE are the monkey bars I (yes, I!) made for the girls. Actually, making them was the easy part, that's why I made two, one with smaller spaces for the girls, just the right height off the ground for Eden, and another set longer and bars further apart for Lachie and co. The attaching to the equipment was the hard part, that's why I have only finished the girls ones so far. Lachie's is right now making a challenging bridge between the castle and the rocket!
So funny watching people's faces when I give the little guy the camera at the pools and he chucks it in the water...and I don't spaz out! Here are some shots the kids took this morning (note Lily and her dancing friend in the background...still practising!)
Chocolate milkshake moustaches!
Cooper just looked at all these photos and said "Lily", "Eden" etc. when I got to this one I said "Who's that?" and he said "Magic"...huh? Maybe he was listening to Zappo the Magician this afternoon after all!
(Lachie pulled a weird face and I didn't want to embarrass him by putting it up!)
