Smiley Saturday - Holiday Pics

smiley-saturday-2.JPG

I thought you might enjoy a select few of the photographs taken on our holiday. I had planned to write more about the attractions we visited (and may well still) but my illness has thrown most plans for this week out the window.

Gotta start with a snap of the new caravan. I have done a video tour for you - I just need to figure out how to get it onto the computer and then onto the blog. In the meantime, here’s a shot of the van - the kids look excited, don’t they. Smile

Our New Jayco Caravan

Here we are with our Snowman on our much waiting for visit to the snow. By the time this photo was taken, Singstar Princess was already struggling with the cold. We didn’t really have the right clothing for the snow (ie boots that wouldn’t allow the snow in to get the socks wet) so it was good we were there at the end of the season when it wasn’t quite as cold and wet. In fact, we only just made it to see snow before it melted in this particular spot. They had 90cm when we left home but by the time we got there it had almost all melted due to rains. But we had enough for the kids to see it, touch it and play in it, which was all we needed for this trip.

Here we are on top of the world, on the top of Parliament House. I didn’t actually know you could go up on the roof. It’s was so beautiful up there!

This seat at the Dinosaur Museum just cracked me up. It seems appropriate to share it for Smiley Saturday:

Dinosaur Museum
The kids absolutely LOVED Cockington Green with all it’s miniature buildings and miniature train sets.  The gardens were amazing but I think the train ride was the highlight of the day.  Here are the boys, ready for our ride (it was busy so we’d been waiting in line a little while to have our turn):

I have quite a few more I was planning on sharing but my internet connection has been playing up a LOT and I’m concerned that if I don’t publish this, it won’t get published today. I’ll attempt to add more to this post a little later so I hope you’ll come back and check. If I can’t, I’ll do another post in a day or so with some more pics for you.

Happy Smiley Saturday all. I hope you’ll choose to join us this week.

    Looks like you caught that snow just in time! Our kids are yet to see the snow. I loathe the cold so I’m not exactly champing at the bit to get there. Having lived in Tasmania with snow in my backyard I just view it as cold, wet and hard, and did I mention cold and wet? *shuddder* Luckily I seem to have bred sun bunnies so they arent too concerned.

    Thanks for sharing your snaps. You all look really happy and the caravan looks lovely.

    Wonderful pictures as usual. It is so nice to be able to share with your family. And of course to let us see the pictures.
    Hope you get well soon. You are lucky it waited until you got home.
    Rest and do not worry.

    That is quite a trip and loads of packing for the hot/cold. Great photos and what about that bench! Great sense of humour.

    Bet it seems like hundreds of years ago already!
    Cheers

    Oh I so love Cockington Green too - have been there four times over the years and it just gets better and better. Great photos. Found your blog through the 100 Australian women blogs list.
