Wednesday 23rd February
We took the kids to the local "wildlife" park...
Jade & Blake were fascinated by the Emus that we saw when we first arrived....
When you enter, they give you a bag of feed for every "paying" customer.... so we got 5 bags.... (the 2 little kids were free)
Blake loved feeding the Wallabies
I'm sure they were getting frustrated with him, sometimes he'd not open his hands at all.... so they'd have to try to work around his fingers....
Jade wasn't wanting to feed the wallabies because I'd said that they'd slurp on her hands... ehehe So she was dropping food for the animals inside contained areas....
Me showing Jade that it doesn't hurt to feed them....
We told Jade that the Koalas were awake, so we rushed off to see them....
She looked at them for 5 seconds and then was apparently bored and wanted to move on...
Blake kept coming back for more food... we think he was trying to see if he could make the wallabies pop!
Black Swans....
Jade eventually gave it a try... then she was hooked!
Everyone was excited to see the joey....
There was a big open field with the Kangaroos.... the kids were very excited to go and feed these guys.... Unfortunately we'd run out of food... So Rob went back to the office to get more food....
It appears that the Emus were watching Rob appear with his bag filled with feed..... they wouldn't leave him alone.... so he gave in and decided to give the emu some...
I have never seen a bird peck so quickly.... Rob was a bit scared...
and eventually emptied the bag on the ground....
Apparently one complete bag of feed wasn't enough and the emu kept walking circles around Rob to try to get more food....
Jade was giving Rob instructions on feeding Kangaroos... she's an expert now and she'll tell you so!
Blake was tired, so we put him in his pram and we were giving him potato chips...
The emu spotted the potato chips...
And stole them......
Not Happy!!!
We got both kids down for a sleep after lunch.... Rob even went to sleep.... For dinner the boys (Rob & Shaf) went to get dinner while Narelle and I took the kids to the park.... we ate at the park and played until it was time to get kids bathed and off to bed.....
(Blake wasn't interested in having his pic taken last night - but he figures he had enough photos at the Wildlife Park... eheh - I think all of the kids are over the camera by now!)
