Park Crawl

This marks the boys very first Pub Park Crawl! This was so much fun that they asked the very next morning to go back to their New favourite parks!

First stop was BRIAN & KRISTYS PARK, named because it was across the road from Brian and Kristy's house. Favourite thing here... swings!

Even the Mama got her swing on in this park!

Second stop was Denman's Park, or as I knew it when I was a kid "Dead Man's park" because "they actually found a dead man there" or so the story went when I was a kid, and not such a great start to our day out. When we were here a little, boy told us that we couldn't get on some of the play equipment becuase his friend had done a POO in there! Gross. And that we shouldn't walk next to the slide because he had put mouse-traps there to get his friend. REALLY. So we had a turn in the swingin' apple and then 1 quick slide. BB is already a worry wort so he was very scared of the hidden mouse traps throughout the park and also left rather annoyed!

Next we headed off to the Lions Children's Park, or Christians Park as the boys so call it. Another SUPER slide here, check out how enourmously high that thing is! and a little See-saw.

The sun was getting low and we still had 3 more parks to go so we made a start for a park that the boys had never been to before. We don't have a name for this one yet except "That really cool park with the Swinging Bars!" Best bit here, you guessed it, the Monkey Bars! and what is with all these little mega slides in these little parks?

Look out Digger Park, aka Heritage Park, here we come. I don't think I need to explain WHY we love this place so much!

Last we did our Most visited park of all due to it's proximaty. This is just called THE PARK!
Fav bit = the Wobble Bridge

Thanks for coming along on our Park Crawl. Rest assured we had a great time, killed a couple hours and were SUPER tired when we all got home!

My special Boy

I think a picture can tell a thousand words so here's 2000 for you!

CHICKEN DINNER!

Okay so I never said I WASN'T a mad BINGO freak, did I?

But this post really is about my chicken dinner, not BINGO.

After a little change to the usual routine I googled CHICKEN DINNER and this was the first recipe that came up, so it looked good.

I love dinners that go into the oven and heat the house and send a gorgeous smell wafting through the halls.

So nice in fact that I had to do it again a few nights later, this time servd with rice and stirfry. Mmmm Yummo.

I can just imagine this cooked on our next camping trip with those jacket potatos being buried in the coals and our campoven simmering away with our succulent chicken.
