Dreamworld - again

As mentioned in the previous blog, I took the girls and Hope to Dreamworld on Sunday. The two "big girls" went and did their thrill rides.

Not before Hope, Caity and I took Mim on the Log Ride. What a blast - Hope got soaked and Mim decided that she would never set foot on that ride again!

Mim and I met up with Carla, Charlotte and Zie and hit the Farmyard again. Mim and Charlie decided to fee the 'chookens' - unfortunately Mim was kneeling in duckpoo! She was not impressed, but we wiped it off and kept going.

We met the big girls for lunch (and viewed the 'womanly handbag') then the big girls took the little girls on the teacup ride. I think they enjoyed the big sister experience - and Carla and I didn't have to get dizzy! Check out the expression on Mim's face! She looks like she's going to puke.

We went to see the tigers - and I think Carla was ready to use Charlotte as tigerbait by this stage (Charli was attempting to assert her independence, as only 2yos can do!) Mim posed beside the fibreglass tiger - and did her best devilchild face.

The kids had a little play in the Wiggles Playroom - Charlotte ramraided the supermarket in her car and made a getaway with some plastic fruit. Mim burrowed under some cupboards to get something, and proved that she takes after her grandfather - what is it with her and the tradesmen's crack!

Mim started getting flushed and her temperature rose, so I went to the first aid room for some baby panadol. But she wouldn't drink it! So the nurse suggested I disguise it in some softdrink. And what does Mim love to drink! Coke! I put a little bit of Coke in a separate bottle and mixed the panadol in with that and told Mim that she could have her own Coke! You would have thought that she would have scoffed it down - but no. I had to beg and plead her to drink her 'Coke'! That's never ever happened before. She drank enough and her temperature came down, so we did quiet things, like have an icecream and a train ride.

Carla had had enough by this stage (it was 4pm after all) and decided to take the girls home. We caught the train around to the central station, but Charli fell asleep literally 30 seconds before it was time to disembark.

Mim and I went on another ride and then waited for the big girls to join us. It was 5pm before we left - a good 7 hour day at Dreamworld. And yes, she did fall asleep in the car on the way home.
