It's official - my boys are animal lovers (when they're not pulling the cats tail or chasing her away). We went down the coast for the week end - Jimmy had a conference to attend so I decided to take the boys for a fun week end away - Lesley/Grandma also came. We had such a fun time - we stayed at the Coachhouse at Batemans Bay and our cabin was right near these mangrove/mud flat things. On Saturday morning we spent a few hours playing in the sand and splashing in the little rivers that went out to sea - the boys were covered in black, muddy sand when they were finished but gee that had fun (it was great to get them messy when we weren't going back to our own house!). On the Sunday morning we took the boys to Birdland Animal park and, although it was super expensive, the boys had a ball checking out all the animals and feeding the kangaroos. Jett's never been scared of ANY animals but I wasn't too sure how Ollie would be....he surprised me a bit by being more than willing to feed a kangaroo from his hand! Jett found a talking parrot named Charlie and he absolutely adored it - he was glued to the cage saying "Hello Charlie, what's doin'" and the bird would repeat it all....I love birds and this one seemed to have real personality. We also went on this dodgy, old train which was the highlight for Jett - it was just a short ride but it took us around the perimeter of the park and through the kangaroo enclosure.
Here's a few pics of the boys feeding the kangaroos and Jett talking to Charlie (and yes, I've managed to squeeze Ollie into my favourite overalls, probably for the last time!)
