Road Tripping: Perth Zoo

Warning: Photo overload coming up!

When I said we crammed a lot into our mini break, I wasn't joking. On Monday we headed to the Perth Zoo. B is lucky enough to get free tickets for the Zoo through his work, so we certainly weren't going to miss that opportunity!

These are only a few of the photo's from the Zoo. I have a load more. And did you notice Ethan with a camera? Well, we also have a load of photos of every ones bottoms too. And I mean a LOAD! Today I am thankful for digital cameras! Can you imagine how many spools of film he would of wasted on peoples bottoms if digital cameras didn't exist?

Road tripping: Kings Park

Last week we set off on a mini break down to Perth. All up over the past days we traveled over 3400kms in the car. Needless to say we are so over sitting in the car right now.

But boy did we cram a lot in over those few days. There were trips to IKEA and actual shopping centers, trips to the park, beach and everything in between. The kids even went to the movies with my Mum, Aunt and Uncle while B and I got to have dinner out at an Italian Restaurant.

My Aunt and Uncle became our tour guides and one such place they took us to was Kings Park. Man that place is HUGE!

We had a BBQ dinner here and I can totally see us going back there to explore again and again.

Have you been to Perth?

Road trip snack box for kids

I seen this idea on Pinterest a few weeks back but I can find the pin now... I should have pinned it when I had the chance!

But the pinner used a tackle box for a snack box in the car and I thought the idea was just genius!

Since we are heading off on our 16 hour drive very soon I thought I would try out the idea.

So I picked up a tackle box for $8 from the hardware and checked out the pantry to see what I could pop in it.

It has:

• Spiced Chickpeas
• Cheerios
• Cornflakes
• Sultanas
• Dried Fruit
• Banana Chips
• Rice crackers
• Peanuts

And never fear I also have a container of grapes, mandarins and apples plus some sandwiches for the kids too.

Weekending...

We headed north this weekend to celebrate one of B's cousins 21st birthday. We did the same trip last year and went up Saturday morning and came home Sunday morning, it was HELL, so this time we decided to go Friday afternoon and have two nights at one of B's Aunties houses. The kids had a ball! And we both enjoyed watching them play with some extended family that they hardly ever see.

The party itself was just gorgeous. The decorations were fantastic and well I think there were more decorations than we had at our wedding!

The trip home was painful though. I am so sick of the whole 'Are we there yet?' and the various sentences to that effect!

All in all we had a fantastic weekend and I think we need to do it more often!

How was your weekend?

Let's get into it!

The rules or guidelines as such are all the same as what they were over at Tina's and if you aren't familiar with them they are:

• Grab the button (from above) and add it to your post and/or your sidebar. Because it’s good karma. A little link love didn’t hurt anyone. And the more people who see the button, the more that might join in and the more traffic we will get – hopefully.
• Add your blog link to the linky below – so other Pinners can come visit you and “pin it” to their Pinterest boards.
• Visit some of the other links, give some comment love and pin as many of the posts as you have time to do.

I will endeavour to visit each and everyone one of you that link up, it may take me a little while as I work some Sundays, but I will stop by within 24 hours of you linking up. 
Happy Pinning!
