Supergirl meets Supergirl

Last week we went to Movie World (oh how I love those passes!!)





Lexi dressed up as Super Girl and we promised her that we would take her to meet Super Girl when we were there (she's always really liked the Super Girl character, but is actually more of a Marilyn Monroe and Tweety Bird fan haha).  She was so excited, ran up and gave her a HUGE hug.  They then asked her if she'd like to walk with her during the parade - cue gushing and excited squeals.  Well DUH, little miss 'loves to be the centre of attention' was on that!  So we went to where they told us to meet them and had a bit of a relax until parade time.  



                     

Whilst we waited, a staff member came over to us and actually offered for our family to sit in a VIP section (an area that is sectioned off and a few families who have dressed up kids get to sit).  We were pretty chuffed to have the space and prime viewing, the kids LOVED it!!  I think the best part was that all of the characters generally stopped and waved in that zone.  HEAPS came up to them (Justice League, Scooby, Tweety etc etc etc) and the kids were jumping out of their skins from excitement.  Lexi got to run down the main street in the parade with Super Girl and they were given an ice cream each.  It was such an awesome experience for them.

I think pictures will say more than I possibly could, so here is a few from the parade!!

Almost five...


I know a little princess, she is almost five.
She is my darling little girl, and I cannot believe how fast 5 years seems to have passed us by.
She is beautiful, cheeky and has a wonderful imagination.
She loves to dance, sing and perform.
Her 'Birthday Month Photo-A-Day' begins on Sunday (1st of June).
I am also aiming to get her a collection of photos done to celebrate her 5th birthday.
Stunning, isn't she?


Darlington Parklands at Yarrabilba (70)

70.  Visit five new playgrounds we haven’t been to before

A new suburb/estate earlier this year opened up on the road out to Tamborine called Yarrabilba.  A new family based community (houses on top of each other, lol) called for a fabulous new park (in an attempt to rival Robelle Domain, I guess!) and with that came the construction of Darlington Parklands.

I have avoided the masses over the warmer months, the novelty of such a park (brand new equipment, water park area, FREE FREE FREE) has attracted a lot of people who are looking for something new, and anyone who knows me knows that I hate crowded places like that with kids.  And water.  I hate water.  And sand.  Good god, sand... I hate it.  And so many parks around here are just... dirty.

Anyway, we ended up visiting the other day, due to a birthday party, and I must say that I am pretty impressed.  It's new, so it's clean.  They have awesome equipment - your usual playgrounds, with cool slides.  A double flying fox, awesome spider web climbing frame, a great swing set.  Although my only issue is there is no bucket seat style so Memphis will not get a go on a swing there until he is much larger (I am talking 2+).    There are heaps of under cover areas and tables.  There's a great water area, shallow enough for all ages... fountains etc.  FREE WI-FI!!!!  Pretty great park all in all.  We will go back, that is for sure!
