Getting out of the house

The kids were a bit stir-crazy and super whiny this morning, so I decided to take them out. It ended up being a gorgeous day, so we spent as much time away from home as possible.

First we headed to the Ballina playground and we stopped in a soccer/basketball cage to play. Here's Walt

Adele

The boys

You can see their laughter

I love this shot with all 3 kids climbing up and heading down

My Walter is getting braver!

Adele and Gordon were smart to refuel

Silly girl

I brought along some towels to wipe down the equipment. Adele took the towels and spent the next twenty minutes wiping down everything.

We headed to lunch at Simply Delicious cafe, then we walked down to Scoops for ice cream.

After ice cream, we got in the car to go across the river to the Killaloe playground. Adele went straight for the slide.

Gordon on the shaky bridge.

We just take over!

So brave, my Walt!

Spot the kids

A friend was there with her two kids and she was helping my kids do this zip line, which they've not done previously. At least, not without having Jeff or I to hold them the whole way. Here's Adele's ride.

Walter gives it a go.


About half the time, Gordon simply let go at the end. He wasn't hurt and thought it was hilarious, but I kept telling him to hold on because I knew it wouldn't be long before he did get hurt.

A little while later, I look up and see Walt's over there doing the whole bit by himself. Such a big boy!

After the Killaloe playground, we headed to Bake-A-Way for some snacks.

The kids hung out waiting for me to pay inside Bake-A-Way. From there, we finally headed home.
