Dinosaurs!

Who doesn't love dinosaurs? They might all be dead but the mystery just makes them more awesome. Nanna treated the boys to a trip to the National Dinosaur Museum and I don't think they ever wanted to leave. Kai loved hiding from the roaring robotic carnivores and sitting on a fluffy Diplodicus while Louie was mesmerised by the "Dactyls!" (Pterosaurs) and enjoyed patting a sabre toothed tiger. The free craft area is aces as well!

P.S. Thank you to the prankster for returning the stolen dinosaur!



 

Awesome Acton!

I never had any idea that a busy city could be so kid friendly! Usually I view anywhere that has slightly more traffic than a one street country town as being radioactive to children. New Acton has artfully changed my perspective. The kids love running crazily through the permanent sculptures and were absolutely mesmerised by the huge installations from Art, Not Apart. There is also a pretty courtyard where we could get coffee and treats from Bicicletta restaurant. I am happy to admit that I was wrong. Cities can be fun!

We enjoyed Canberra's 100th birthday by riding around the lake and taking in the sites. The boy's favourite festival was the family day at Curtain shops. Here are Louie and Gramma (Stephanie) taking a break from dancing to the live music.
