Botanical Gardens, Cairns, Australia

What a treat it was to visit the Botanical Gardens in Cairns & find all these amazing plants there.  Being the tropics, they are very special & everything grows furiously!!  I really enjoyed wandering around taking photos of flowers I've never seen before.  

My apologies that I have no idea what they are called (bit slack I know!!).  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

There's something special in this photo - see if you can spot it ! ! !  Lol

Someone foreign in this photo as well!!!

I like this box Nanna !

Glenda & I took the boys to David Jones for a spot of shopping on Saturday morning.  We ended up at the toy department, but to get there we had to go through all the Christmas decorations & delights!!  Edward took a real shine to a box of Christmas mints (probably because it was definitely on his level.

Oh!   There's a box missing  !!

Look what I've found Nanna !

Edward, you need to put that box back !

TULIPS IN SPRING IN MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA

Glenda & I with Edward & Nathan went up to the Tulip Festival in the Dandenong Ranges for a morning of fun!  As you can see, it was rather cold & windy, but didn't deter us from having a wonderful time together.  The boys particularly liked the tractor ride!  We all enjoyed walking amongst the tulips, which were absolutely beautiful.  It is such a short season here, we have to make the most of the wonderful display.

The boys love anything that moves!
