As before, the kids had a lot of fun at the park, particularly on the tractor (which, at some point in the proceedings, became turbo-boosted with laser guns attached).
We weren't really all that busy on this mini-holiday, it was more about taking it easy, and enjoying the (beautiful) scenery. And feeding some goats. Alicia was quite keen on feeding the goats. Well, actually she was quite keen on watching someone else feed the goats while she watched on and giggled.
One of our two main excursions was the Hedgend Maze, where we went around collecting clues, and attempting to solve the puzzle of the maze, one letter (clue) at a time. Well, Mummy and Lucas did most of the legwork in that department, Alicia was more interested in being the Leader (with Daddy as the Follower) and singing out Eenie-meeny minie moe at every fork in the maze (there was a lot of singing). And the solution we came up with to the Maze's clues was the well-known saying: "gr8w rkfl g2 nyup-nyup". Hmm, perhaps we'll have better luck next time...
Aside from the maze, we also visited the gorgeous Maroondah Reservoir, and we even managed to complete a 2km "bush walk" without too much complaining - a very good effort from the kids, Mum and Dad were quite proud.
A fantastic and relaxing time in a beautiful location. This Autumn getaway is fast becoming an annual tradition in the Melbourne Bird clan!
