We got off to a great start with all the kids sleeping in until 7am!! I was presented with some beautiful home made cards and gifts including a heart shaped biscuit slathered in sprinkles and lollies and pink icing (a kindy creation), which Liam was very anxious to help me sample. After a nice brekky of poached eggs and bacon (cooked and cleaned up by Zane) we packed up the car and headed up to Maleny for a bush walk at Mary Cairncross National Park and lunch at Patrick's Steak and Seafood restaurant, which has panoramic views over the Glasshouse Mountains and the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. A buffet lunch was served and I think every senior citizen within a 50km radius was coached in for the occasion, but the crowds only added to the enjoyment. There was a band playing "easy listening" or should I say "easy dancing" music, and a few of the older gals dusted off their dancing shoes, and James got so excited he invited himself into their posse and made some new friends on the dance floor!

Rick was employed as resident babysitter as well as being a comfy cushion!!
In other news, we have had a visitor staying with us for the last week - Sunshine the budgie! He's a kindy bird who goes to all the kindy kids homes over the course of the term. He is very tame and friendly, very chatty and sociable and we have really enjoyed having him to stay.
Thanks for the good times, Sunshine!
