My Mother's Day weekend...

It's been a nice weekend. It started off really well with dinner out with my Mummy friends. We went to the new restaurant on the riverbank, Saigon Saigon. The food was very yummy. After dinner we went and checked out the scene at a few of the bars in the area, enjoyed some great music at the Oxford Tavern and then headed down to the other new place that's just opened on the riverbank, the Edge. It is gorgeous. It's an apartment complex and on the bottom floor is a bar/restaurant kind of thing. We had the yummiest deserts. My chocolate cheesecake was soooooooooo rich I couldn't finish it. Yummo!!
On Saturday afternoon Jack and I along with some of his friends went to see The Wiggles!! That was a fun show. It's the first time we've seen the Wiggles live so that was a great experience. They put on a good show. Here's Jack and Jared, all excited before the show started.
The boys pulling funny faces.
And The Wiggles (well not Sam obviously, he was there just not in the photo)
Then on to today...after opening my Mother's Day gifts (a cute new pink mobile phone and a cupcake book set) Jack and I got ready and went and picked up Grandma to go to the markets at the Heritage Village. We had a great time and Mum and I both got some new jewellery.
Jack was happy, he got to go on just about all the rides and things.
Here he is on the horse drawn coach ride...
Riding the pony who is having a water break...Riding on the camels...again...And here he is with his face painted and his tongue all blue from his icy cup. When we came home I did some cooking and then we had a play in the yard. I found this dragonfly perched in a shrub. I have never seen a dragonfly stay still for so long. They are pretty cool looking insects.Tonight we went to my Aunt Marie and Uncle Rob's place for a pot luck family dinner for Mother's Day. It's so nice to see everyone. My poor Grandma's not feeling herself at the moment but hopefully she'll start improving soon.
This little guy/girl climbed down to come and check out the festivities. It was pretty game and come within half a metre or even closer to us. Isn't that cool.Well, I'm falling asleep here so I'm off to bed.
Cheers
