17th and 18th January 2009. (Port Adelaide, Laura and Graham's, Fremont Park)

After a slow morning we decided to head down to the Maritime Museum at Port Adelaide. On the way there we were stuck waiting for the open/close bridge, it took ages and although I used to love these bridges as a kid, our kids didn't seem fussed. The kids loved the interactive display's at the museum and playing on the boat but were a bit bored with all the proper display's. Captain James!

We had lunch at the pancake place and although it was a bit dearer than we would have liked it was a nice lunch, especially eating outside.

After lunch we went on the Port River dolphin cruise. Saw some dolphins and some great scene's, especially the drunk footy players on another boat showing us all different parts of their anatomy. However I think this particular cruise was too long for kids, and it would have been alot more relaxing without them.

Back on shore Tony took the kids up the lighthouse.
Home for a quick cuppa then we headed to Laura and Graham's for a BBQ. Kids loved spreading sand through Laura's house, Sarah loved Singstar and can not wait to play it again, Tony loved having a drinking partner....it was a great night, a late night but a great night. Kids are now tucked away in bed, very tired but planning their next big day out.

18th January 2009.

As it was such a late night last night, we decided to skip Little Athletics this morning. Kids and us were still so tired. We went up to visit my mum as her phone has been ringing out for 3 days now, no contact so I was a little worried. Turns out it's a fault with the line and someone will be looking at it tommorrow. Took some bacon around there for breakfast aswell, so while eating Tony did some odd jobs for mum then we came home for a slack day.

For dinner we went down to Fremont Park for a BBQ and to feed the ducks, this was the biggest mistake, the lake has been emptied, bridge pulled down, ducks and fish gone..... And once you see one fault you see more.... This was going to be a stress free year with me not finding fault with everything, but I have decided to include this as hopefully once it is fixed or what ever they are doing with it, hopefully i will appreciate it alot more. Kids were really down about the ducks, so we made it happier with feeding the seagulls instead.

Our once green grassed, beautiful lake.
The once nice green grass my kids liked to roll down.

After eating we played on the playground for a little while but regrettably that too was covered in litter and cigarette butts. We decided to come home instead, doing nothing is sometimes better for you.

I love this photo!
