Gold Coast

We have been in sunny QLD for the past week, in between Mike starting his new job. The warm weather was fantastic and it also gave both Reuben and Luke a chance to get over their colds. Reuben went full on as usual- and often ended each day in tears of exhaustion. After spending the day at Seaworld, he fell asleep in the bus at 4.00pm and didn't wake up till 7.00am the following morning!

Laughing Thomas

Reuben is obsessed with anything Thomas related and so when shifting through youtube over his morning bix, we found this video!

Kuipto forest

On Sunday, we went to Kuipto forest with Ciocia Aleks. We cooked Polish sausages on a stick and ate salmon and blue cheese- yum. Reuben had a great time jumping in puddling, sitting in holes and freaking out Aleks, who thought he'd end up in the river! Luke was happy to look at everything that was going on, taking great interest in the trees above him.

Feeding the Ducks

Today we went and fed the ducks at the park. Reuben managed to get over his fear and had a great time throwing bread (and rocks when he ran out) at the ducks and swans. Luke had fun just hanging around, watching what was going on.

Happy the Horse

Reuben has a new hobby horse which he has named "Happy". This name is due to his current obsession with determining whether people are friendly or scary. Happy means that everything is ok. Poor Reuben is a little delicate at the moment and quite clingy, but it means I get lots of hugs!

Mother's Day

We spent the day at a train park with Grandma Lorraine, Auntie Selina, Uncle Chris and Aiden. Reuben had a great time playing in the sand and then travelling on the train. What a great place for boys!

Ride the Bike?

Lately Mike has been taking Reuben for rides on the bike. Reuben loves it! He loves to yell out "Bike behind!" to unsuspecting pedestrians who don't get out of the way quickly enough.
