Hat parade

Sebastian had his hat parade at preschool today. He only wanted to have diggers on his hat. He was so happy to see me when they were walking around outside and I was so proud of how confident he was. 

Wiggles concert

I finally took the kids to see the Wiggles in concert.  They had a great time singing their songs although Hannah was a little scared of Captain Feathersword.

Beach afternoon

We headed to the beach this afternoon as it was a lovely sunny day.  The kids had fun playing in the sand and getting our feet wet in the water.  Before heading home, they each had an ice cream to eat.

Double Bay Markets

They love coming to these markets, there is a jumping castle, petting zoo and pony rides. 

They love Playgroup

 

In the backyard

They can't get enough of the backyard, especially the sand pit.

Such a happy boy

I picked Sebastian up from pre school and he was so happy!  He had a great day there but was glad to be coming home.

Dubbo

We left early in the morning for the long drive to Dubbo.  We got stuck in peak hour traffic getting out of Sydney and there were delays between the Blue Mountains and Bathurst because of road works, so it took a little longer than we thought. It was very warm when we arrived in Dubbo, so the first thing we did was jump in the pool to cool off.

Saturday morning, we headed to the zoo. This zoo is a bit like being on a safari, you can drive around the zoo which was what we did or you can ride a bike, walk or use an electric cart.  There were lots of animals to see, the rhinos, elephants, tigers, zebras, tortoises and the highlight was to feed the giraffes. Both kids loved feeding the giraffes and weren't scared at all.  We all had an amazing time seeing the animals.

Before heading back to Sydney on Sunday, we went back to the zoo for a few hours to see some more animals.  It was a wonderful trip to Dubbo and we will definitely be coming back again.
