Child Beale 30/07/2008

On Wednesday Grandma took us to Child Beale. It was hotter than we thought it would be but it was very nice out. We rode on the train, Lani spent a while yelling 'Oh no stuck!' after we had shut the carriage door. Kayne enjoyed the ride but was a bit upset it wasn't a very long ride.
We walked past the big lake and Lani saw the Blue-pea fowl and was saying 'Duck duck' and then looked again and said 'no; Birdy'.

We sat in the park area to have lunch but niether of them were hungry, they were too busy;

Lani with the sand:

And for the first time ever Kayne managed to get 3ft off of the ground!

We had a nice time looking in the aviaries and every time she saw an animal or bird she started yelling and squealing. She saw a goat and started saying 'baa-baa' which impressed me as i don't think she has seen a goat before. We went into the small animal shed and she was ooohing and aaahing over the baby Guinea pigs, i said 'they are Guinea pigs' and she repeated 'ginny pig'. We went to see the little monkeys (i think they were spider monkeys) i hoisted Lani up and said 'what is that, Lani', 'ohoh ahah' was her reply. I put her down she wondered off; found a branch that was 1 1/2 times her height and ran off across a green with it.

We walked some more, and came across the Roe Deer at the pinic area:

We walked under a walk way and Lani started saying 'oh no ...' 'oh no ...' and i couldn't work the last word out. We looked at the Owls and then came back under the walkway, Lani was saying the word again. Grandma heard it and said 'sky'. She had noticed that you can't see the sky under the walk way!!

We got round to the play ground and they played happily in the sand, in the cars and houses. Grandma watched Lani whilst i sat down. Lani saw a puddle: and RAN!! 'PUDDLE!!' yelled Lani and jumped in before Grandma could catch her....;
