Family Time...

One place I had always wanted to go to was Werribee Zoo and OMG what an awesome experience it was.  I just never imagined that you could get up so close to some of the animals. We headed out on the Safari Bus which was included in the price (I was expecting a little 10min drive around the complex). It started off a little slow with us seeing some emu's and kangaroo's, but then we headed into different regions of the park such as "Africa" and "Asia" and things started to change. All of a sudden you would pass a heard of buffalo and camels (and other animals which I don't know their names?) and then in the next section we parked next to a couple of giraffe's and then the rhino's while some zebra's walked on by. It was amazing! I honestly would have never thought that I would ever get within 3 metres of a white rhino. She was literally just sitting there right in front of us, eyeballing us. It was a little scary as the size of those horns are HUGE!!!

Over the weekend we headed off to Phillip Island for the the annual Kustom Nationals. On saturday Brett and I headed down in the hotrod (no kids as they don't fit) which was loads of fun. I don't often get to go in the rod anymore since the kids came along, and I forgot just how blowey it can be. Yesterday we headed down in the family car (the EK) which is just as much fun. The weather was perfect and it was so nice to drive around the Grand Prix track with such a beautiful view of the ocean. Definately the highlight of the day:)

Well Brett returned to work today, so I guess things will be getting back to normal :(

I promise not to leave it so long till my next post, as my new years resolution was to submit small frequent posts. Let's see how I go from now. LOL
