Zoo Animals and Fairies
While mum was away, dad kept the kids busy and tried to completely wear them out during the day. On Saturday, we went to the zoo. On Sunday, we went to a Wild Fairyland Festival.
We’ll be going back to the zoo again sometime.
LR goes for a close-up of a snake.
At 5 metres long (16feet), he's not a giant, but he is still impressively large.
RJ and LR get face to face with the salt-water croc.
LR takes a moment to record some observations while RJ wolfs down a sandwich.
RJ and LR stop for a moment to let Trisha get past.
They're quick, but dad's pretty fast with the shutter.
Gotcha!
The kids thought this kangaroo needed some exercise.
LR was careful to take pictures of each animal.
The wildflowers are still blooming everywhere.
On Sunday, we went to the Fairy Festival. Just look at the delight on the kids’ faces! They eventually cheered up, but it took most of the day.
Her face painted, LR is ready to have her nails done!
We tortured LR by leaving her in the middle of a tent full of fairy-obsessed 4-7 year old girls. How could we be so cruel?
On the other hand, the Drippy the Dragon puppet show was a huge hit.
RJ was pleased to have cake provided for him.
See? Sparkly nails AND face paint!
A fairy delivers some magic dust to LR so she can make a wish.
