Thanks to my good friend Leanne we found out there was special Dinosaur exhibit at the Australian Museum in Sydney. So for our May family day out we planned to go there (the exhibit is only on till the 8th June).

We had a fantastic day. The girls loved seeing all the dinosaur stuff.

We then went to another area where the kids could touch and play with lots of different things. They even got to hold a stick insect.

We stopped for some lunch. Amy took this photo of Kevin and I.

We then split up. Amy & Kevin went to the skeleton area and I took Christy to Kidspace. They met us there and goofed around for a bit.

Lastly we went to see the Indigenous Australians. We were there in time to see an aborigine playing his instument (not a digeridoo). The girls volunteered to do an emu dance.

One the way home we stopped at Paddy Pallin to get boots and jackets for our big trip.

For our family day out this month we again headed to Jamberoo Recreation Park (Amy got a family vochure for her birthday). It has be used by the end of the month so despite the cooler weather we went today – it was the only day Kevin could come with us. We went on the tobogans first – pretty fun – and we got to see a couple of deer resting right beside the track.

We then went on the go-karts.

Then did some water slides and playing in the water. It was pretty cold so we laid in the sun for a while trying to get warm.

The girls went back in the water and played a game of putt putt golf while Kevin and I relaxed and read. It wasn’t quite the same day we had last time but we all had a good time.
