Sea World

Still revisiting pleasant holiday memories as Autumn really settles in. The wind was icy cold this afternoon and the leaves are whirling about a lot more than they were last week. The colours are gorgeously intense with the apricot tree being my favourite at the moment. Although we are still struggling through a difficult time with the small person, there were moments of fun and enjoyment today. A very pleasant morning spent in the company of two lovely women and their adorable twin boys up in Cashmere in a beautiful home in a sunny spot. Family visits and watching four children having a blast fooling about on the trampoline. Watching Nic in his very too small Superman outfit with his cycle helmet racing Nat with a glossy clown suit and red and black rugby beany and cycle helmet down the drive was very funny. However, this post is not about another Saturday in Christchurch, rather about a sunny day on the Gold Coast.

Dolphins and fish and roller coasters and other fun rides plus a very cheesy American style ski jumping show and a whole lot of other lovely things. The water flume ride and the Bermuda Triangle were such a hoot and I loved my first roller coaster ride. It was short intense and very upside down so short and intense was pretty much how I liked it. Jasmine looks so cool and I am yelling hi to Nic not screaming. It was such a fun and action packed day. Nic was the only child at the Sesame Street performance who didn't know who the characters were. Pre-school kids don't have time to watch TV so miss out on lots of those things. No big deal as far as I am concerned but interesting.

I could tell you about all the worthy and interesting things about Sea World but you can check out the link above and see for yourself. I decided not to take the day too seriously and just have a good time. It was so well set out and there were lots of people there having a really nice time. Of note was a totally insane group of Philippine tourists dressed in the most insane clothes and stopping every few steps to have amazingly weird photos taken. I thought we were on candid camera., unwitting guests at a fancy dress party, and I am no stranger to travelling and seeing weird and interesting people. I am not sure they saw anything of the park because they were so busy having their photo taken by the signs and doing that peace sign thing. Bloody hilarious. Love the Gold Coast and all the odd life that visits there.
