after an easy morning, to try and ease the jetlag a bit... after we picked up the kidlets up from school today, we took sam out to caversham wildlife park. i've never been before (even though it's just down the road and madeline has been twice! once with school and once with bryan and niques when they were here, and joseph has been once) and now i am wondering why, because it was amaaaaazing!
joseph loved meeting a crocodile, even though he didn't seem keen on turning his back on it to turn and smile at me for a photo...
we missed the farm show, which maddie assured us didn't matter because she had already seen it (sorry bout it sam! lol) but went straight into the "meet the wombats" area, where the kids hung out with snakes,
kookaburras which i loooove, (if you're not australian and don't know anything about kookaburras, go and listen to this youtube clip... they are the best!) andddd then found an old friend of mine luke, who was working with the wombats. too funny.
these clowns wanted to take a picture everywhere we went... but i was cool with it. if nothing else, having a third baby is going to teach me patience.
sam got up close and personal with a koala... and looked pretty excited about it. it's so funny, i love that people get excited about australian animals, cause to be honest i do too. i don't really want to hold monkeys or squirrels (okay i probably do) but koalas and kangaroos excite me way more. look at her! she's so cute. day made!
another photo op. insert eye roll here... but they are so happy that i still don't mind...
sam also got her kicks from the kangaroos. i was a bit meh, kangaroos, mum has kangaroos everywhere at her house about them, but they were the best! they hop right on up to you, let you pat them, eat food out of your hands... and are so damn cute! this all just reminds me yet again, how lucky i am to live where i do.
seriously. this was the best thing ever. hand feeding kangaroos. ♥
what an awesome afternoon. i'll definitely be coming back to caversham in the future. i highly recommend it, for aussies and visitors both!
