Holidays can be hard graft

Hanging at the beach is entertaining until someone gets sand where they don't want it.

Hanging with girlfriends is okay. But they eventually have to go home.

Forget cultural experiences. Only one half of this duo enjoyed the Monet Exhibition. The other half feigned sore legs and tiredness and could only recline on the viewing benches and moan for his $12 entry fee.


But a mission inflatable? Hours of fun and I get to read a book.

Where is that pool ?

It's not Cook and Phillip is it?

Or the Ian Thorpe one?

It looks fantastic..

I'm jealous. We're not yet at the no-need-for-constant-eagle-eyed-supervision stage yet. Not for The Impossible Princess anyway. And I suspect it will be a LONG time before we reach it.

I know a funny yet un-PC term about sand in bad places I like to pull out to shock people..

Are you kids booooooooooooooored yet ? ;)

Is there a Monet exhibition in Sydney? Love Monet. I'd never even considered taking kids to the art exhibition though, I'm pretty sure mine would just run around annoying people and never even see the nice pictures on the wall.

The fateful "I can't wait to go back to school" line was actually used this week... 2 weeks to go.

Ours started back on Wednesday. Thank GOD! They were driving us, each other, and anyone within in whining range crazy. That inflatable thingy looks fun.

They were setting that inflatable up when J finished his swimming lesson on monday morning. Luckily, he didn't seem to notice because I think it would have been hard to convince him that he's too little to give it a go. He was distracted by the man who works at the concession stand and kept asking me VERY LOUDLY "why is santa at the pool?" Looks like you've been having fun!
