It's getting hotter!

(Warning Vicky- there is a spider picture)
Hello again everyone here are a few photo's of our new Saturday BBQ spot at Muddy's. It's a waterpark / playground on the esplinade. There's heaps to do and loads of big shady trees. This is one of my favorite bits, it's a stream with bridges and a little gate to change the flow of water. This bit is great for leaf boats!
This is the main water bit, with heaps of jets and rain curtain coming off the roof. The jets turn on and off which sends the kids crazy.
There are loads of play stuff too so I just run from one to the other all morning. When it first opened on Saturday I had the whole place to myself.
The BBQs are just under the wavy roof thingys, so they are really close, the whole area is fenced from the road and the esplinade walking / bike track, with loads of free parking just outside the gate. This week we were joined by Rick and Brian (a new BBQ recruit) we also ran into Dave Vehlo who may join us next week as well. There was no sign or sound from Mr Taylor who remains AWOL to this very minute.
This was my first go on a flying fox, I loved it sooo much I didn't want anyone else to have a turn and screamed the place down with delight everytime I hit the end.
These are my two new little birdies, they are zebra finches and I have called them 'Tweety' and 'Furry' (for those Monty Python fans - they are the birds who say 'Ni' - we are the keepers of the sacred birds)
I have started having showers now and mummy has made me some special soap. I even try to wash my own hair which is such a relief because I have to be held down in the bath to have my hair washed and my screams can be heard down the end of the street.
Daddy was very very brave on Saturday morning, this spider was heading for the bird cage. It was so big that daddy had to jiggle the bug catcher to fit it all in. That is a large moccona coffe jar that it's 'resting' in and that's a 50c piece we are comparing it with. It's not very well now. Ewww!
On Wednesday night we had Rick, Mark, and Dave Rennie over for dinner, however we all ate too much as usual but everyone seemed to enjoy the evening. On Friday night, mummy's team put up a fantastic but unsucessfull fight for a spot in the AFL grand final next week. Mummy's friend has almost guaranteed tickets and had promised to fly mummy down if Collingwood got a spot - bugger! Oh well, there's always next year. We are being inundated with tomatoes and are waiting for a scrummy sauce recipe from Frank's mum so we can cook em all up. Mummy's neck is almost better finally. Daddy is doing well and keeping busy at work. It is really getting warm here now, and we have been in the pool twice this weekend, it's a bit chilly but it won't be long now before it's like a bath. I am really doing well at day care and there are no tears when mummy leaves now which is such a relief. The girls are fantastic with me and have really made me feel comfortable and safe. I am answering the phone at home now so if you ring, don't be surprised if I answer and start chattering away to you. I even left a message on big ears answering machine.
Well that's about it I think, I hope your world is fab and that you are all happy and well. Love and hugs - Kylin. xoxoxo
