Celebration Day in Ballarat

The Beginning of May is now a pretty special time for my family since Mother's Day, Matt's birthday and our "Australian" wedding anniversary are all within days of each other. We decided to celebrate all three by going up to Ballarat Wildlife Park to see all of the animals and have a BBQ. The Mullins clan was supposed to come with us but poor little Cooper came down with a cold so they couldn't come.

The day looked like it might be pretty lousy but it ended up being a beautiful day. The kids signed up to go in a see the koalas and happily the pictures were being taken in Elliott's house. Being a bit of a stubborn koala he refused to wake up and come out to say hello. I must admit I was a little sad to see nothing but his back. Anastacia was up eating eucalyptus so we had a lovely visit with her instead.


Luke really enjoyed the kangaroos. The kids were feeding the roos when I looked over, Luke had taken a seat and was chatting away for a good ten minutes to what seemed to be a very attentive kangaroo. Glad to see he could really relate to the animals so well.


Of course who am I to talk when I was having a lovely little conversation with the wombats. All in all it was quite a wonderful day.
