our school holidays

It's nearly the end of school holidays here in Victoria (*sob*). I feel very refreshed and invigorated, and unusually ready for another busy term - less busy than it was going to be, thankfully!

Here's some photos of our holiday adventures in lovely Melbourne. We made some fascinating discoveries at the Melbourne Museum,


intrepidly explored the Children's Garden at the Royal Botanic Gardens,

and played in the adventure playground near the Yarra River.

We also continued our annual family tradition of going to the Royal Melbourne Show. Here we got up close and personal with animals,

went on some rides,

tried out a sideshow,

looked at the art and crafts (especially the decorated cakes!),

and rotted our teeth with lollipops

and over-large showbags.

Perfect!
