Our Trip to the Big Smoke…
Friday was the last day of the school holidays so the kids and I headed out early and caught a train to the city. We had an action packed day.
First we went into the office so the kids could see where I work, then we wandered around the Botanical Gardens. In the gardens there were three statues… a male named Winter and two females named Spring and Autumn as well as an empty pillar. Grace insisted that we go and find Summer. Wandering aimlessly around the gardens (I knew we weren’t going to find Summer due to the empty pillar) we bumped into an official type person and asked “Where’s Summer?” Much to Grace’s disappointment, he responded with “Summer’s been nicked!” Our search for Summer was brought to an abrupt halt so we walked down to Mrs Macquarie’s chair, then around the Opera House and back up to Circular Quay Station.
We hopped on a bus to Queen Victoria building and then caught the monorail over to Darling Harbour. The kids played in the big playground until they saw the bungee jump trampolines… needless to say the kids bungee-trampolined, then they went rock climbing. They both suck at rock climbing and I just live in hope that I never find myself in trouble on the side of a mountain with those two! We played arcade machines and found out Jed is really quite good with a gun… I’m a little worried I have to learn to sleep with one eye open now.
We then dragged our sorry arses (Jed on my shoulders) up to Macca’s on George Street to have some lunch. By now I was buggered… so we hopped a train back home. On the train I ran into Yogi. Yogi hands out the free MX Newspaper at the station every day. Yogi took a photo of us on the train and emailed it to me. This is our only photographic record of our excursion.

As you are on the train 4 days per week you should know that you should have your arm through your handbag. Naughty girl. You can't trust anyone.
Us 3 and Yogi (the photographer) were the only people on the train
You just trust that someone was not hiding and run off with your handbag. You probebly didn't have anything in it anyway.
