Kevin is loving his new toy, or should I say new baby :-). He’s got himself a new jacket (and just ordered new pants) as his was way to big (he’s now lost nearly 40kg), so he looks more like a “biker” now.

Here’s some photos of his very first bike back in 2002- I remember Amy thinking he was off the deliver the mail :-).

The girls also got new toys this week – Nintendo DS’s – which they have been wanting for ages but we bought mainly for the big trip to Ayers Rock. Of course, Kevin didn’t want to make them wait so they’ve gotten them early to have on the 12 hour drive to Queensland next weekend.

Yesterday we went to the Easter show with Nanny & Poppy and had the most fabulous day. The weather was JUST PERFECT. Not too warm and with a nice breeze to take a bit of the heat out of the sun. The main reason for the trip was to see all the animals so I explained to girls before we left there would not be lots of rides for them (they can go on all they want when we go to Surfers in 3 weeks time) and just 2 showbags – one food and on crap – oops, I mean novelty :-). We ended up coming in the back entrance which meant we were going the opposite way to the crowds – which was great.

First we got showbags (no crowds) and put them in a locker.

We then went through the art and food pavilions. I just LOVED this easter show cake – so clever.

A highlight was doing the animal walk and seeing lots of farm animals.

The girls got to help sheer a sheep.

As always the baby ducks were a favourite. Though Christy loved watching the newly hatched chicks even more. We couldn’t get her away.

Personally I loved the cows.

This is how I found Kevin after going through the dog pavillion. No, he isn’t drunk or exhausted – he had a sore back….
