Road Trip - 03.01.10

Today is a very special day. As it's Miles' 1st birthday. See 'Today is is one' thread as well.


Just having banana for breakfast. Don't see what all the fuss is about really.


Opening Presents! Kayla loves opening presents. She wanted to help.



Playing with pressies.


How cool is my car!


Singing Happy birthday

And the cake


We then went to a play centre not far from my parents house. Not a very good play centre for kids Miles' age, not much to play with.
Still he had lots of fun.

Another hot and humid day in Brisbane. Didn't have anything planned, but Kayla was getting bored, so we decided to go to a playground near Chermisde shopping centre. It's a very cool playground that was build by the community for the community. It's designed for all different ages and it shows.

Swinging on the monkey bars




Checking out what is up there.
Yes I'm aware her hair is very wild. It doesn't matter how much I brush it or wash it (it can go 3 weeks without a wash too), it just goes wild. the only thing I can do to stop it going like that is to tie her hair back which she doesn't really like, but I just tell her I have to wash her hair and that makes her have it back. Kayla hates having her hair washed. Why? It hurts her eyes.
But her hair does make for interesting photo's as it gives it a glow.

When we got home and had a bit of a clean up, Kayla helped her Abuela (my mum) to make empanadas. Yum empanadas! Kayla loves to help cook and clean.



And where was Miles? Where else but the stairs of course.


Now for some photo's of the family having quite time.

Miles is happy, can't you tell he is clapping. Or maybe that's because he is getting time with his Aunty E.


Time with daddy

The 1st day of the new year!

We drove to the Gold Coast. I don't remember the name of the beach now (not without looking it up, which I will do later).

Kayla fell asleep on the way there.

God love her

Miles was having a good old time.


We got to the beach and changed into our swimmers. I told Kayla that if she was in distress in the water to wave her hands up in the air.

"like this mum?"

Miles absolutely loved the beach! He had a great time, crawling around everywhere and having a sticky beak. Kayla didn't like it so much. She didn't like the big waves.







Can you clap your hands?


Eating and drinking the beach, that's how much he loved it.

Last day of the year!

When we went to the train station to go to Aquativity, Kayla saw a poster advertising Thomas the Tank Engine at the Ipswich Railway Museum. It's only on one time a year, so we figured while we were in Brisbane we would go.

I contacted my friend Andrea who lives in Jondaryan, and she was all for catching up. So Andrea and her lil boy Asher, myself, Kayla, Miles and Ximena went to the Ipswich Railway Museum.




Kayla looking cool in her Dora sunglasses. And Asher. He is so cute, but so tiny compared to Kayla!


Kayla, Asher, Ximena and Andrea riding in the train. Kayla was enjoying it until the train started to do all these curves and then she started freaking out.


On Thomas the Tank jumping castle... well it's not really a castle, more jumping tank.


This is my fav one. By the way, I didn't teach her to jump/land like this. But everytime i see it makes me laugh.

We were at the museum for a couple of hours. We properly only got to see about half of it. We discovered and indoor play centre with all these train tracks, and Kayla did not want to leave there. We were in that room for over an hour!



If we are ever back there I would like to go again, as there is more to the museum than what we saw

Road Trip - 30.12.09

Our destination for the day was Scarborough Beach. Sorry no fair there, but it would have been cool if there was a fair.

I chose this destination as it was on my list of must see parks.

The playground is very cool, it's pirate orientated! I mean it is next to the beach, so of course that makes sense. There is play equipment to cater for all ages. What I love is they have allowed for try climbing! So if your child likes to climb trees, then climb the climb friendly trees.

The water was a beautiful temperature however rocky, lots of rocks, so not so good on your feet. Either way we all had a good time.

I love the perspective on this one.

Kayla was so excited to be going on a train trip. She loves to train spot, so for her to go on a train, well you can guess how excited she was.


Waiting for the train


On the train, just look at that happy face.

We were heading to South Bank, Brisbane. They have a free, yes free!, Water play park and beach. It's called Aquativity. It really does cater for all ages. Kayla loved it, as did Miles. It was busy the day that we went, it was hot, but it was also overcast. Didn't rain while we were there though.


Miles having fun with the water.


Kayla swimming (it's not that deep her hands are actually touching the bottom)

On the way back to the train station we made a pit stop at the playground.

Kayla having fun on the horse singing 'seesaw, Marjory Dore'


That WAS my lolly pop but Miles stole it, He loved it on his gums.
