Amy's amazing things.

Today we went to the Queen Vic markets.  First we looked at all of the meats and things like that. Mum wanted to try and spot either a lambs head or a pigs head and other animals heads.  We found a pigs head and it was SO gross!!!* then we went to the toys and clothes section.  I wanted to buy- a backpack, a zipped jumper, a watch and something else but I can't remember what it was.   So in the end I brought a lolly jube packet and a backpack**.  Then we went out for dinner at an Italian restaurant  in Lygon St  with our Auntie who lives in Melbourne.  On the way home we stopped  at IGA and brought an ice-cream each . Tomorrow we are planning to  go to the zoo and it's my little sisters  turn to write next in this blog.

* we will download a pic when we have a computer.

Day One - Matthew in Melbourne

We were waiting for breakfast  we had to hunt and gather to forage for sustenance. Wandering around the city centre we found a shop called Pie Face at about 11 am and had pies there.  Next we comsumed some sushi and muffins and pizza and mini mars bars and icy poles and for tea Dad cooked yummy chicken and healthy salad.

P.S
About the cockpit last night, it was awesome to sit in the cockpit!                                                
I got to move the seat aroud that I was sitting on and move the joystick around and the planes sound box spoke to me. And I think I heard the engine start.                                                                                                              

We have landed......

Here we are in chilly Melbourne.   Everyone gave a thumbs up to Qantas with lots of yummy food, fun kids packs and  those great touch screen babysitting tools - even I loved them , except I just could not squeeze the last 8 mins of Hunger Games in - sigh...    The best part was being invited to sit in the cockpit and fly the plane - just ask Matthew.  

Hoping to have some photos up by the weekend when we can access a computer.

Up , Up and Away

Only six weeks to go before we fly up, up and away - on our  holiday adventure to Melbourne and country Victoria.   We have been counting down the weeks since January.....  A long wait.
Now the time has come to start writing those lists of things to do , dusting off the suitcases (although they are still new) and psyching the cat up to warn her of our impending departure.
