What a delightful day yesterday was... A perfect, sunny day... The perfect day for some family fun... The Laws were lucky enough to head to the Adelaide Zoo thanks to a family fun day we shared with thousands of others. We caught up with the Smiths and the Crooks as well as this fun day was for families who have someone working in retail. There was a free afternoon at the zoo but before that (and twice after) there were sideshow rides and a sausage sizzle, soft drink and lemonade ice block for all. I rediscovered the horrid Wipe Out ride which had claimed my stomach last time. I also discovered that I can no longer wimp out when ever that (or any other) thrill ride is on my radar, especially when my youngest (Miss 7) jumped on the Wipe Out with me and not just the once...
The zoo is always a great day out... Even better when it is free...

Saturday night trip to funsville
Sunnyside here we come! I love catching up with our wonderful friends in the picturesque paradise that is Sunnyside. A hop, skip and jump from home we have friends with young kids like ours who have oodles and oodles of room. We love the open space, the gorgeous view of the river and Mypo and of course the generous, delightful hospitality of wonderful people.
Tonight is going to be a good one with numerous families coming along to join the fun. Everyone is bringing something along to share and this has given the Laws a chance this afternoon to cook up a storm in the kitchen with yummy home made pizzas.
I cannot wait for tonight to begin. All aboard for a trip to funsville!! Lets go...

Date day is back and I am seriously happy. With our three angels home from school for six weeks my days off during the week became heavenly sleep-in days but there was no chance for my gorgeous wife and I to duck off for the day to a new restaurant or the movies for some adult time and conversation. School is back though and summer holidays are over. This means that date days are back on... YAY!!
Today we disappeared to a nearby cinema to catch new film 'I, Tonya' and wow was it a real eye-opener. I kind of knew the story of the American figure skater who had her knee smashed in but I had little to no idea of the whole story. If this film is to be believed Tonya Harding had her whole world against her from the start and 'the incident' was caused by a whole heap of stupidity that seems to be not entirely her fault.
This film really made me feel for the central character and I was glued to the screen from start to finish. Not at all what I expected, but an amazing story very well told.
