Saturday Adventure

Started the weekend off last night with dinner in the park, the company was wonderful and yes I had more than one glass of wine.  (Side note - beer is super expensive here...a case of Dos Equis Amber is $42!) And no, the kids didn't sleep until 7.  We only made it to 6:30, but that's alright, Saturday started off right with pancakes!  We haven't had pancakes for breakfast in ages.  Believe it or not, they are not a big deal here.  To get them, you have to buy this mix, that normally is expensive that happened to be on sale this week at Woolworth's for 1/2 off.  They really have like 2 options for syrup as well and they don't even have frozen pancakes or waffles...no Leggo's here.   I need to come up with my own mix.  I'll let you know how this experiment turns out. :-)

This afternoon we headed to Yanchep National Park to finally see kangaroos and koalas!  It was so exciting and the kangaroos were everywhere!  And even though this park is only about 25 minutes from our house, we got more of a sense that we were in the "bush."  The park sits on a lake, but the lake had little water in it, but it is a very beautiful place.  We took a nature walk and the kids were too funny about it.  Harrison liked it, Lainey did not.  We saw grasshoppers, which Lainey freaked out about, spiders, and ants...really big ants.  Lainey didn't like these either and smooshed one with her shoe.  Not sure Lainey is going to be the outdoor type...she much prefers shopping, dance class and playgrounds...probably as outdoorsy as she is going to get. Ha!  Lindsey enjoyed the park too and we all decided that is definitely a place that Nawna will like too. We can't wait for her to come visit in July!  Koalas are just as cute as you think they would be and you just want to snuggle one.  Though looking at the size of their fingernails, perhaps a safe distance is good.

Hope you are all having a great weekend!  We are off to church tomorrow and maybe the beach.  Enjoy the pictures (and as usual, there are more on Facebook).
