Almost Easter

March is almost over and we are getting ready for our first Easter in Australia. This month was rather full, firstly with a 'Playschool' concert, followed the next weekend by a "Day out with Thomas" where we took a trip on Puffing Billy and saw the 'Fat Controller'. Unfortunately, we left all recording devices at home, so we'll just have to go again in the Spring!

Then it was off to the Melbourne Grand Prix, it was a baking 30 degrees, loads of walking and we were all shattered on the way back home. We saw Roary the racing car and walked past Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello as they drove into the grounds. The following day was spent with friends at Luna Park where Karli went on his first 'scary ride' the Ghost Train.



A couple weekends of fun (for whom I wonder)

Labour day weekend

Finally a long weekend. It was spent looking at houses on Saturday and then the annual Melbourne car show on Sunday. Monday was spent at the Moomba Waterfestival in the city where everyone had a great time, noshing on ice-cream, candy-floss (fairy floss here) and corn-dogs. Karlie had his first ride on a rollercoaster (see clip) and he loved it and we saw some 'real' dinosaurs which he wasn't so keen on especially when the one came up real close and sniffed him!
Note: When an event happens in Melbourne -> Everyone turns up.
