The things you see...

Just a quick update, we went to Seaworld today, just a treat for the girls. They have been behaving pretty well lately and have kept their rooms clean for two whole weeks!

Driving down on the M1, when in the distance I could see something large, it wasn't instantly recognisable but as we got closer I saw not a truck as I initially thought but rather, a very large dual cab ute.

So I was thinking to myself - why? Then I thought hey why not! I wouldn't really want one forever, but would love to pedal one just for fun! It is a massive vehicle and Emily posed a pertinent question. How and where would you park such a beast? If you are that big I would suggest anywhere and anyhow you please. It dwarfed the Mondeo.

After I had spent a few ks drooling over the F750 we eventually made it to Seaworld arriving just in time to see the Dora show, both girls are a little old for Dora the Explorer, however watching one of their favourite school teachers from Pleasant Street PS perform as Dora was a special treat for them.

Later during her break we were fortunate enough to catch up with Kate for a quick chat, both girls adore her and it was great treat for us to see her smiling, happy and enjoying herself on the Gold Coast.

Rosie is slowly getting taller and has just passed the 120cm barrier (by a couple of mm) which qualified her for the Sky Climb. We didn't get the chance to get any photos of the Sky Climb, because all four of us were able to go on together. It certainly challenged Rosie and I who are a little acrophobic and possibly thanatophobic. Emily and to a certain extent Karren, were bounding around on the ropes course without fear.

After the Sky Climb we went on a few of the roller coasters, and then Viking Flume - repeatedly, which we love as it is one of the few rides we can enjoy together. Emily and I rode the Jet Rescue ride, Emily then conspired to trick her mother into going on it, by telling her the ride was pedestrian and boring. Karren is not all scared by roller coasters, so the enjoyment was in the sting rather than getting her on the ride.

Post Script.

As an adjunct, Karren and I noticed the Boss is touring again in Brisbane in February of 2014, we are currently looking for a reliable baby sitter so that we can both go... I will hope to be camped by the computer on the 21st when the pre sale tickets go on sale to ensure we get seats.
