Outings with Poh Poh and Gung Gung

Eloise and Abbey are normally with Poh Poh and Gung Gung every Wednesday as that is the day that Mummy is in Sydney for work.  So on Tuesday afternoons, after Eloise's kinder, Poh Poh and Gung Gung will take the girls back to Port Melbourne with them.  On Wednesdays, there is normally an outing to either Scienceworks, the Museum, the Zoo or Collingwood Children's Farm.  The favourite seems to be Scienceworks and the girls have been there at least a dozen times.

Here they are during one of their trips to the Museum, which is the alternative destination for wet rainy days.

Lego time at the Museum

Scienceworks is truly fantastic for the kids because there are so many interactive displays and lots of interesting facts and figures for inquisitive minds like Eloise's.  Abbey enjoys touching all the buttons on the displays and climbing up and down all the exhibits.

Collingwood Children's Farm is also another favourite place for both the girls and Poh Poh and Gung who like the Lentil as Anything restaurant.

And then there is off course the zoo where Poh Poh and Gung Gung are also Friends of the Zoo.  They go so often that the zoo is treated as just another play ground !  Here they are playing under the big tree. Both girls are also very social and are known to charm and distract older school kids who are there on their school excursions

Abbey has a fascination with the wood carving of the orang utan at the orang utan enclosure and without fail on each trip she will give him a kiss and a hug and will always bid him farewell before leaving the area.

Abbey also has a fascination with all the stone animal carvings and again without fail she has to clamber on top of them for a ride.
