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!!

Movieworld (48)

Family time at Movieworld <3

Lets cross another theme park off of the list -that we have taken all 3 children to.  We will have to re-do Seaworld, as we haven't taken the baby there yet!  I didn't think about how some of these goals could/would change with the arrival of our little guy!

We actually quite love Movieworld, the kids get a lot out of it, and it's not too far away.  There's plenty of rides that they can go on to keep them happy, and they enjoy the characters.  Lexi adores Tweety and Marilyn Monroe.  Zavian loves Batman, Scooby and Wonder Woman.

I really wanted to have a photo of the kids under the Movieworld sign... alas, they were mobbed by Asian tourists and instead of a photo I got 2 crying kids and Ty trying to stop a woman from taking the baby from his arms.  Not fun.  I say this as a parent - Asian tourists over here are bloody awful some times.  Some are beautiful and respectful, they ask to take photos.  Others are sneaky, pushy and rude.  This particular trip was hard - it was Chinese New Year and there were many tourists there to celebrate (they had a special parade).  We always attract a lot of attention - our children are pale, blonde, petite and charismatic.  They're cute.  Asians have always loved taking their photos and we've had it happening since Alexis was a baby (Ty's mum handed her over to a beautiful Japanese woman for a cuddle and photo in front of the War Memorial in Melbourne when she was 9 months old!)  I am usually pretty good about it, if people ask I generally say yes IF the kids are ok with it.  Some are so sly though... one man was leaning his camera over the top of the kids not realising Ty was standing right beside him... he pushed the mans camera aside and told him NO and put his hand up to indicate stop.  So the man laughed at him.  I know there is a language barrier but I'm pretty sure NO can be interpreted in any language.  I am the only one allowed to take sneaky pics of my children!

A good day starts with Batman

One of those photos you just have to get!

Zavian's first time on a ride that actually leaves the ground!

Lexi and I at the front of the roller coaster... she commended my bravery as we got off, making me look like a total sook!

Wonder Woman catches a glimpse of Lexi... they bonded over a bandaid earlier in the day!

Highlight of the day!

I really really really must note!  After a day of being bothered (I'm talking all day) by tourists, Lexi and Zavian were personally approached by Wonder Woman during the parade, given an ice cream each, and came out for a photo with her.  She was SO lovely to them!!!  It really was the highlight of their day and they still talk about how she gave them an ice cream!  Zavian is, in fact, madly in love with her for it hahaha!

06 February - A moment with a superhero

We spent the morning at Movieworld with Aunty Tammy and cuzzie Tiana. The two of you had so much fun running around, riding the taxi cars and the merry-go-round. You ran through the water fountains and met Wonderwoman, Scooby Doo & Shaggy, Catwoman and Batman! I think Batman liked your shirt ;)

01 February 2014 - Movieworld

Today we went to one of your favourite places, Movieworld. We got to hang out with Batman, The Green Lantern, Wonderwoman, Tweety, Bugs, Marvin and lots of other awesome people. You had a great day as you've finally reached a height where you can go on rides! You went on The Wild West ride with Daddy and you finally got to go on the Justice League ride. You were such a brave boy! Another highlight of your day was being picked from the crowd with Lexi by Wonderwoman who then gave you both a magnum ice cream. You were so pleased with yourself!


Every year on the month of their birthday, I take a photo-a-day to document the kids month.  Every day is taken in black and white, and the photo taken on their actual birthday is colour.

Today's photo was taken at Movieworld, in front of the Superman roller coaster.  I am not quite sure what he is cracking up laughing at (probably himself) but he was having a great time.
