A Long Weekend
On Saturday the boys and I had morning tea at Billy Baxter's with Dad and lunch with Mum. That afternoon, Liam built most of his Batman Lego Grandpa gave him for his birthday, but found a part was... not to be found.
On Sunday (skipped the swimming lesson as EJ has had a cold) the three of us went to the Fisherman's Wharf Markets at Port Adelaide, because I know there's a Lego man there. Not an actual Lego man, although he has plenty of those in his stall too, but a man who is an expert on Lego and sells parts. Click here to see his site; I have sent photos of two of Liam's finished kits to him, so you might see them in the Art Gallery section soon. Unfortunately he didn't have the part we needed in his stall on Sunday, but could get it from his warehouse of 80,000 pieces and bring it in the next day.
Monday was a public holiday for the Queen's Birthday (which is actually April 11th). We went back to the markets to get the Lego piece and trade some cards, and took Uncle Martin too because he wanted to see the model cars. Or, he took us - he drove from his place. Later, the boys and I also went to the Brickworks where there are more markets, but we didn't go for that. Every Sunday Liam asks for Mini Golf when there's not enough time left after swimming and washing to go, so we went to the Brickworks for that. We had to set a limit of ten shots each per hole or we'd still be there! We kept score in our heads per hole, so we all won a few each.
Today, Tuesday, there was a student free day. We went to the park for a little while, then Subway for lunch, then went to see Shrek 3. Not as good as the other two and a tad darker and more violent - maybe they figure the original audience is getting older. The boys wanted to see what fortune cookies are too so we picked up some of those for our cultural experience. Mine said To the world you are but one, but to one you are the world". Awww, mushy.
Here are some photos from the foyer of the cinemas. Spot which one's the Bart! Sean said there is one of these displayed in his local cinema too.
And who are the pussy and the as....... I mean, cat and donkey?
