Nanny Kaye is Here!

On Saturday morning we went to pick Nanny Kaye up from the airport. The kids were so excited all week asking if it was the day for Nanny Kaye to come yet. I'm glad she arrived in teh morning so I didn't have to survive them asking all day if it was time for the airport yet. Aarahi also picked  up our hire car, it's a monster of a thing (I really want to buy one!)

After we came home and had breakfast we went out to look at where our house is being built and look at
the display home. There has been so much progress on the houses in our estate since we were there a few weeks ago. We are in the second land release so we haven't started building yet, they're still building the road and sidewalk.

Later on Saturday night we surprised Nanny Kaye with a night on the town. We went into the city for dinner and a show. We were lucky enough to get tickets to the Lion King. Aarahi really wanted to take his mum out somewhere a bit special and the show really fit the bill. It was AMAZING! if you ever get the chance to go, DO IT!!!!

The night however ended on a bit of a low as we parked our car in the only parking building that closed at 7pm! so we had to catch the train home at midnight. That was an experience in itself. Aarahi went back and got the car in the morning and all was well again.

Yesterday we went into the city to take the kids to an indoor play centre. It was a bit underwhelming, but I think they had fun. Nanny Kaye got in with them and went down the crazy slides. I assure you those play grounds are not made for adults!

Today was IKEA for breakfast and to pick up a few things for the new house...tea towels and salt n pepper shakers because it's the small things that really matter! We stopped at a new park on our way home which was amazing. It has so many fun activities for the kids. What I liked most about it was that it wasn't super kid proof like most of the parks you see around these days. There were plenty of opportunities for the kids to climb up high and be adventurous. There was also a wonderful water play area with pumping stations and squirting water fountains. It was a bit cold today (not that, that stopped the kids) but in summer I can imagine it being really spectacular. It's located right next to the children's hospital so if your kid happens to fall from the towering ropes course it's a hop skip and jump away for them to get fixed up.
