Happy Birthday Carter!

While Carter celebrated his actual birthday by going to school (he really wanted to go, despite being off sick all week!) today was his birthday party which was at the Reptile Centre (again). But it's such a fabulous place that we are happy paying the quite reasonable $250 for the second year in a row. Plus they have improved the exhibits markedly, and there's heaps more play equipment for the kids to climb all over.

There was 11 children all up (including Linc), and Carter did really well handling the reptiles (and even a freshwater croc!) and showing them around to everyone. It was a lovely spring day at 17 degrees, not taken for granted at all considering yesterday was cold, wet and windy.

Addi was beautifully behaved for the whole time we were at the Centre; she was very calm and had heaps and heaps and heaps and heaps of smiles; everyone just fell in love with her.

Carter was stoked with how generous everyone was, and a huge thanks for the wonderful gifts - he certainly got spoiled - including a crisp new $20USD note for spending when we go to Hawaii in the next couple of months (I know right, thanks so much to a very generous gesture from the grand parents!).

Like most people on the planet at the moment, Pokemon Go is featuring quite a bit in our schedules; but we turn it into a learning experience for the kids (add/subtract numbers etc.) and it continues to get us out walking when we would normally be sitting at home in the warmth!
