Game ON 2.0

We were very excited to hear that Launceston was holding the world premier to the Game On 2.0 exhibit, with over 130 games to play we were going to be in video game heaven!!We loved Band hero on wii, B2 loved the old fashion pinball machines. I was super excited when I found Atari's pitfall, bringing back memories of plaguing my neighbour Marissa with agonising hours of beggin, "can we pleeaassee play the Atatri?" I was also thrilled to find the original Donkey Kong complete with orange casing and ancient graphics, but oh what fun.

3LB go to the zoo

B1 was extremely excited that he was allowed to take the camera along on a recent class excursion to the zoo. He loved the Tassie Devils and was rapt that he was able to pat one.

Launceston College presents Back to the 80's

We had a girls afternoon out and took B2's friend off to the theatre. B2 bopped along to the songs she knew. I was quite surprised how many she did know. She didn't get some of the concepts that her little friend did, but they enjoyed the show immensely. Fantastic songs, great choreography and good humour. AAA+

Duck Reach Hike

We took a walk down to Duck Reach Power Station Museum. There are sooo many steps! Which is fine until you have to head home.

I find the rocks here, in Tassie, fasinating.
B1 thought it would be cool to have a picture that made it clear where his head was.
B2 threw a tantrum and ran half the way back up the track - wish I had half her energy!!

Rolller Derby

The little sunshiners went skating with vacation care and begged to go back!!

Russell Falls

We stopped at the playground at Granton grabbed a map, one pinapple icecream and one choc mint icecream and headed west.
Russell Falls are a short 10 minute walk from the Mt. Field Visitors Centre. They are truely amazing. Another short walk and you are greeted by the Horseshoe Falls somewhat dwarfed in comparison but stunning all the same. Then we headed on up to the Tall Trees walk. Oh the agony... B2 complained the whole way up "I'm only little .. and my little legs are worn out!! I wanna go back now!!" We spotted Pademelons and wallabies, slipped in the mud and climbed countless stairs. However, the children were very impressed by the Clinometer and seeing the tallest flowering hardwoods 'in the world!!' I invented "I'm thinking of a song" on the return trip and B2 didn't complain once. Victory!

Snow, Snow at last!!

We decided to take a detour on our trip home from Hobart last week and headed to Mt. field. Joy oh Joy there was SNOW!!

The kids first snowman!!

We found a massive snowball and no-one could pick it up.

Yetti footprints ???

The kids were beside themselves with excitement. YAY!!
