School holidays - a park a day to play!

Yes we've been park hopping these school holidays.  With the weather saying rain all week I was trying to get the boys out and about before showers hit.  Luckily we timed it well and never got caught out.

We started with a playdate at Colmslie Beach Reserve on Tue.

Playing what sounded like Bongo drums.  He was pretty good too, other younger kids were trying to imitate him.

Gavin drawing the crowds.  Well at least Lachlan and friend.

After a play and much to the boys dismay we had to go grocery shopping.  Poor things having to go shopping but we all survived and now have more food in the fridge!

Then on Wednesday it was a train ride to The Roma St Parklands.  We didn't stay long but it was lovely all the same.  We packed a lot in our little adventure.

The boys tested out their scooter skills.

 We had lunch with some company...

big and...



small.  We thought maybe it was the bigger ones baby.

After a bit more exploring...

 

 it was time for an ice cream break!



 

Then the big black clouds scared us away so we decided to take the train back home again.

 

Again more company while we waited.

 

 

But that wasn't the end of our park tour..no way.  Thursday we went to the "Rocket" Park.  I don't actually know the name but there is a pretty cool rocket climbing thing in it.  I didn't get any photos of that but did get some of the kids in the outdoor gym that's in the park as well.

 



 

 

Again, heaps of fun with an added bonus of being able to make a run into Bunnings Hardware store for some supplies to fix up a corner shelf.  Plus to the boys excitement, lunch at HJ's (Hungry Jacks).

 

Then there was Friday, yes another park this time called the Rocks Riverside Park with Gavin's school friends.  It was a bit of a party atmosphere with mini cupcakes and popcorn at lunch.  We stayed here all day!  So long after the school friends went home the boys just kept going.  It was a beautiful day so I was happy to stay.

 

 

This park has so much going on this isn't even all of it.  A great place to come.

 

This weekend the boys have gone on a all boys camping weekend.  Poor me having to stay home all on my own.  I just had to console myself with a wonderful bike ride and dinner and a movie out with a friend!  ;-)
