Winter sampling Melbourne's cafe culture

 

Highlight

We have a wonderful time at the Children's Garden at the Botanical gardens in Melbourne. It is beautifully designed using native plants. It features small scale tunnels and mazes and interactive sculptures made out of rocks, plants and water ways. It was unlike anything I'd ever seen before.


This is a spooky misty passage-way of rocks perfect for getting lost in and playing peek-a-boo (the mist is dry ice comming out of vents between the rocks)

Sadly the cammera ran out of batteries so I only got one photo. 

Visiting

Whilst in Melbourne we caught up with big and little friends


Emma and Richard's baby Clementine



Big sister India


They had fun dressing up and playing concerts.


Anthony and Ali's baby Anoshka and Winter hung out at the park 

Educational

During our Melbourne visit we went to the Collingwood Children's farm.


Winter enjoyed dicovering the chickens



pigs


and buckets

My dinner 

Lucky Mum!

I had a lovely Mother's day


I received flowers, chocolates and coconut ice (note 1/2 the coconut ice mysteriously disappeared before I managed to take the photo)


also plenty of kisses


and cuddles. 

Break in

Winter is just the right size to slip through this fence. 

Cold snap

Winter rugged up to go see the possums.

 

Tummy Bug

Rich and I have been floored by a nasty bug this week. This picture is the best illustration of the experience.


On the upside we both have cheekbones now! 

Lucky Boy

New shoes

 

Mr Fix It

Found Winter pulling apart the washing machine




This is his idea of a good time


He was crying when extracted him & shut door but luckily cheered up when he saw the cammera 

Walking

Being allowed to cruise around free of the pusher is a current favorite activity.


We stop and pick up every stick...


stomp on every man-hole...


It's slow but exciting 

Bronte

Last weekend we went to the playground at Bronte overlooking the beach.





Great equiptment for little people




We stayed out late

 

Day out

We went to the local toy library today.


It overlooks Redleaf pool so I took Winter for an impromptu splash. Unfortunately I was too busy supervising to get any poolside shots.


He LOVES the beach and was on a high afterwards.

Willy the Dog

We met Willy when out walking today



 

I Love weekends

Hanging out together


Mucking around 

Party!

On the weekend we went to Georgia's 1st B-day party. We were provided with a super stylish picnic lunch of chicken scnitzel sandwiches followed by choc mousse & brandy snaps.


I was v proud of my home-made card


Georgia partied hard


Winter went swimming - a classic sign of a good party!

Another Trick

Winter has recently taken to throwing things out the window
