GOANNAS!

We went for family adventures today. We pilled into two cars, nah and pas car with mummy and I, and uncle steven, auntie jas, sahara and uncle ashley in the other. We have decided to go for an adventure into the forest and do some 4wd time. We packed up a picnic lunch with sausages, onion and bread... yum. We drove for a long time, up beautiful mountains and around twisty bends.

Our first stop was a playground at Malany were i got to have a swing and a slide and stretch my little legs. We had some morning tea and kept going on our way. After a while and more big bends and mountain climbing (it was such a bumpy ride... i loved it) we stopped at the Charlie something park... i can't remember the last part of it but it is on one of the photos. Clearly we stopped here because it had a name like me. Mummy now doesn't think it was a good idea.

When we got there we saw a HUGE lizard, mummy said it was a goanna. It was a long way away up a big tree, that was fine. After a while when we were cooking our sausages we saw another one crossing the rode, and slowly it made its way to our table. Well, mummy was brave for about 5 minutes, it really didn't take long before she was quickly doing laps of the table trying to avoid this goanna. Of course, she had me with her... she was so scared. After a while (and after it was walking in between the legs of uncle ashley and steven) it went away.. i think it wanted our sausage. We ate lunch, and about an hour later while we were having our coffee the goanna came back again. We are not sure if it was the first one we saw or the second one... but sure enough this time mummy jumped on the table to get away from it. She really doens't like them - she didn't scream though. Poppa held me this time, and when the goanna came near us i growled at it like i was a monster to scare it away. It worked, they didn't bother us again.

We went for an adventure walk down to the water and then got on our way again. We went for another big drive, lots of bumps this time. After driving for about an hour we came across a HUGEEEEEEE tree that was lying across the road, we wouldn't get past it, or go over it. Can you see the photo of uncle ashley and i on it???? It was so big. We had to turn around and find another way home.

We saw lots of cows - i mooed at them. They really liked me. The whole way home i wanted to hold mummy's hand, and play with her hair. At one stage i coughed and said 'pardon me'. I have such good manners.

By the time we got home and had dinner i was a very sleepy girl and was a little bit naughty. So off to bed for me, having lots of sleep to get ready for daddys tomorrow. Yay!
