School Holiday Fun

So as I sit here and type this the kids are all tucked up in bed, sleeping, ready to start school again tomorrow. We have had a fun two weeks, but I'm happy to be getting back to our normal routine again.

Over the last two weeks we have been quad biking, celebrated Lachlan's Birthday, played with cousins, had sleep overs, played at the park, had picnics, gone swimming, seen Yo Gabba-Gabba, celebrated Tilly's 1st birthday, gone to a play cafe, played with more cousins and had more sleepovers, gone to the big rocking horse, been to the chocolate factory and gone to the museum.

Wow! When you write it all down like that it seems like we have been super busy, but there has been plenty of time spent at home watching movies, playing and jumping on the trampoline!

Here are a few pictures of our visit to the big rocking horse and the museum.

I wasn't going to let them climb it but they all wanted to and I couldn't let the older ones go up by themselves so we all went up. The stairs are the easy part. Then it comes to the ladders. I stayed right with Haylie but she wasn't scared at all and she was a very confident climber.

It was pretty windy up there! I thought that they might chicken out and not go to the head but again they all wanted to do it, so we did!

It was a bit scarier climbing down, but they all did a great job and we made it, very slowly!

We also went to visit the museum. The kids love looking at the 'dead animals', we also looked around at the parts of the museum, last time we went some of the levels were closed so it was good to be able to see a bit more this time. 

Lachlan is very into rocks so he loved the gem and mineral section. Haylie really loved this purple rock and wanted me to buy it for her. She was very upset when I explained to her that we couldn't buy it and that it had to stay in the museum for other people to see.

She finally decided though that ice cream was more important than rocks and we were able to move on without a full tantrum!

All in all we have had lots of fun over the school holidays. I can't believe that it is only one more term of school before the big christmas holidays.
