Spring Has Sprung Challenge Day 2

What a fabulous way to spend loads of time in the sunshine and with my kiddo's all having fun! Well kind of, C was scared a great deal of the time if truth be told, but all in all everyone had a superb day. (all photo's taken on my phone so not the greatest)

Bet you can't guess where we went ;-)

The (new since our last visit) penguin encounter is fantastic. I knew those guys were big, but not that big!!

This is definitely K's kinda theme park, all animals and some amount of touching involved.

She was so happy to get a quick touch of this ray.

C actually did enjoy this part, ok I know it doesn't look like it, but he did!

Castaway Bay, or is it Island, I can't remember. Is the newest addition here. OMG it is the biggest, coolest looking adventure playground I have ever seen. Too bad C wouldn't go on, which meant I missed out. I think I could have left the other two there all day. This part (can you see K?) is a large structure where all the fun happens internally. I am guessing more like an indoor play centre type structure.

Via that, they make their way over to this enormous structure. Yep that's B up that, very cool. Very cool indeed.

Of course there were a few kiddy rides to be had.

And what's a visit to, you guessed it, Seaworld, without a dolphin or two.

Spring Has Sprung Challenge

Happy first day of spring to all those down under! Oh how I have been longing for the sunshine. Give me hot, sunny summers any day over a cold winter. The only part of summer I dislike is storms, scare the heck out of me. But please don't tell my kids, I try to act like I'm brave and all that ;-)

We've lived here for just over 5 years now but I still can't believe how lucky we are to have so many nature study opportunities right here in our very own back yard, love it!

This guy was soaking up some of that gorgeous early morning sun, until Charley disturbed him.

Thank goodness he was out of reach though.

So we will be spending a great deal more time outside, especially before the sun gets too hot for us to be in. My kids always get more than enough time outside, I am not concerned about them in any way, it is actually me that I am referring to here.

I do get outside but on alot of occasions when the kids are out playing I use that for a bit of me time. Have a cuppa, do some quiet reading, catch up on blogs, prepare activities for the following day or if I'm feeling really energetic I might even do some chores ;-) Might, I did say might ;-)

So my challenge to myself, get outside with them. Enjoy the sunshine, breath in the fresh air and just be. Every day for the next 30 days I am challenging myself to this.

I will do my best to keep you updated on this one.

Happy Spring, Friends
