Disney LIVE !!

Today was the day to see Disney Live at the Wollongong Entertainment Centre. What a fantastic show !! And we had fantastic seats that were front on to the stage. Perfect viewing !! It was also a great opportunity for the girls to wear their Mickey Ears !!

Waiting to see Mickey Mouse with Grandma.

And an excited mum !!

Disney Live is a stage show with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald, Goofey and their friends. And what great friends they were !!

Aladin came to visit first.

Then Sabastian was next.

The mermaids who sang "All the Single Ladies". Great song !!

After the interval it was Aerials turn to come and visit. This was who E was waiting for !!

The Toy Story Soldiers were amazing.

A skipping Bulls Eye !!

To Infinity and Beyond !!! Buzz, Jessie, Woody & Mickey.

The whole cast together. What an awesome show !!

We all had a great time at the show and wanted to go and see it again. The only down side is the cost of everything. We had a picture taken with a Mickey Mouse cutout which cost $16.00 and the necklaces the girls got were $10.00 a pop! I think they would sell so much more and probably make more money if the cost was a little lower. Never the less a great time had by all.

A Family Day Out

On Saturday Sandy and I packed up the kids and took off down the coast for the day.

Our first stop was Huskisson to feed the fish. The kids had such a great time doing it last time, we thought it time to do it again !!

The ducks wanted in to !!!

This time on our walk along the board walk there were thousands of tiny crabs running everywhere.

This one was stopped for a drink break !!

The fish were really biting, pity you can't fish there !!

Next stop was Vincentia for lunch. While we were having our lunch we were lucky, or unlucky for the person involved, to witness one car back into another in the carpark !!! Quite funny to watch and listen to the horn blaring on the Mercedes while the Kia Carnival reversed into them !!! I don't think the Kia had any idea what was happening !!! Needless to say the near new Mercedes driver was NOT happy.

Next was a long but fun drive along dirt roads to the Southern Highlands before a park break for the kids in Robertson. The park we stopped at in Robo was fantastic for kids of all ages. (Even the older ones as you will see !!)

This was the cutest swing I have ever seen. Perfect for the babies !!

Next was this gorgeous petrol station, complete with the bowser.

Then the Icecream truck !!

And the funny mirrors. Awesome park !!

See told you it was for all ages !!

The whole climbing structure and some extra swings.

There were a whole heap of other things for the kids to play on and heaps more pics taken. Just thought I'd share some of the new things.

On the way home at the bottom of the mountain we made one more stop. Sandy had said to the kids before we left that we may be able to stop somewhere for them to get their feet wet. I don't think that this was what they had in mind !!

The water crossing at the bottom of Macquarie Pass.

Are we bad parents for letting our kids play on a public road !!!

They had a great time and got their "feet wet" !!

And so our latest adventure comes to an end. I wonder what will be next !!

Christmas 2011

This years Christmas went for 3 days !! We started off swapping presents with friends and cousins on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day with Sandy's family and Boxing Day with mine. Phew very hectic !!

I really didn't get a heap of pictures this year although we were all over the place. Just lots of the kids opening their presents. So here goes !!!

A pink telescope to watch the stars !!

One very excited child !! Yahoo a Pink DSi !!!

With the above gift E told me in the calmest voice, "This is what I have always wanted!". With that she put it down and continued unwrapping with no further comment about the other gifts. She must have really wanted that doll !!!

Woohoo time to party !! Just Dance 2 !!!

When mum returned from the US she bought back some cute Christmas cupcake decos so we decided to make some cupcakes for Christmas Day to take to Aunty Terri's.

The finished product, complete with Micky Mouse Xmas Sprinkles !!!

Yum, my first try at cooking a pork roast !! The crackling was perfect !!

More presents at Aunty Terri's. Very slack on the photos this year.

My new little skater girl. Nan's present a new skate board.

So the next day it was off to Grandma's to catch up with Uncle Jim, Uncle John and Aunty Margaret for MORE presents !!

So for my mum's 60th Birthday I bought her an Elvis Presley coffee table. It was the most excited she has been about a gift for a very long time and couldn't stop telling people about that one gift. Even though I had also purchased her a 50's inspired Glamour Photo Shoot !!! Anyway since she was so excited about that I found the matching foot stool !!!

Excited !!! Even more so that it has the Empire State Building on it too !!!

For Christmas as a joke we bought Uncle Jim a "Pet" so that he is not always home alone. We also decided that he needed Just Dance for the Wii so that he can get in lots of practice for when he comes and visits the girls !!

Now you wont be home alone Jim with Kung Zhu, your new PET !!!

So after all the fun and excitement of the past 3 days all over with we decided to give Uncle John and Aunty Margaret a nice tour of Kiama and the surrounding area.

Nothing beats fish and chips in Kiama next to the ocean !!

I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas and a huge thanks for all our wonderful gifts, cards and Christmas wishes.
