There Is No Place Like Home

We returned home yesterday, direct flight from Adelaide. I do have to commend Jet Star on having my baggage out first both in Adelaide and Cairns. It was so nice flying into Cairns and see lush green surroundings - how very lucky we are. Flying to Adelaide was easier than the return trip with Levi. He was wrapped to get home, running off the plane and down towards the baggage area, as soon as he was out in the humidity his hair bounced back into curls.

At home he stripped off and ran outside to play in the dirt - getting covered in red dirt and reacquainting himself with his long lost toys.

Last Day in Adelaide

Our last day in Adelaide, an early morning flight tomorrow. We all headed into Adelaide city via the tram this morning - a great way to travel, meeting Uncle Paul at the museum. The museum is under reconstruction, all the kiddie interactive computers were not working, saw some interesting fossils and opals. We had lunch at a food court where Mami works - very busy. Then stopped in for coffee at Hudson's, Levi has mastered the phrase babycino during his stay here. Back in Glenelg we cruised around the main drag, headed down to the beach, Levi chased some birds and played on the beach, fondly known by Levi as "my sandpit," beautiful soft silky white sand.

Visit to the Adelaide Zoo

Today Granny & I took Levi to the Adelaide Zoo. We caught the tram from Glenelg into the city. An enjoyable morning was had, totally amazed by all of the animals. It is cooling down here, on the way back had to add an extra layer of clothing to the little fella.

Photos of Birthday Lunch

The 2 Club

Levi's 2nd Birthday today, not long after he woke up right on cue he had a terrible 2 tantrum! He got over himself and has been pretty good since.

Uncle Paul & Mami organised a BBQ lunch, it was going to be at Brighton, however was blowing a gale so headed into the city to the botanical gardens, located a playground and BBQ and had the birthday there. The picnic area was decorated with balloons, streamers and a happy birthday banner, the guest of honour had a great time lapping up all of the attention.

Jet Setter

We arrived in Adelaide yesterday, a direct flight from Cairns, all up pretty smooth travelling, arriving 15 minuets early. Levi was looking forward to the plane ride, and had a great time, he got a window seat and enjoyed looking out at the clouds, standing up and checking out what was happening, he reported that people were sleeping. He ate for about the first half of the trip and then crashed.

He was stocked to see Granny, then Grandpa, what made his day was Uncle Paul & Mami walking up the street while we were on the balcony. We headed out and about to check out the surrounding area and beach, pretty funky area. Saw some camels and a pony at the beach. His batteries are fully recharged ready for another big day.

Birthday Bash @ Home

Yesterday we had friends over to celebrate Levi's upcoming 2nd Birthday, the Thomas'a, Poppy Guru, Aunty Jade & Uncle Clint. Everyone arrived around lunchtime. Levi was super happy to have friends over, and be the centre of attention.

Time for the Thomas's to head off, Levi the car tart, hops in

Let the Celebrations Begin

Levi's 2nd birthday is rolling around, it all kicks of tomorrow at School (day care). I enquired it I could take a cake for all the kids, firstly I was told that it may not be permitted as due to the sugar, I then asked the boss if it would be okay, she informed me that a few kids are allergic to the ingredients in cakes. Therefore no cake at school! Instead he is getting finger food platter, carrots, kabana, cheese, crackers dip and I have put some yummy chocolate tiny teddy biscuits in as a treat.

Friday we are have a few friends over, there will be a cake then. His official Birthday is on Tuesday, Mami & Uncle Paul are arranging a party. In the middle of the celebrations is Easter, a trip on a plane to SA. He isn't going to know what has hit him.

Rain = Mud = Fun

Let Me Take Your Photo

Yesterday while there was a break in the weather we headed outdoors to play. I said "Let me take your photo" Levi nods walks off and decides to pose among the paw paw tree, above is the result.

Out & About

Yesterday afternoon we went and hung out with Jordan (fondly known as Aunty Jords), Levi had a ball of a time, being a funny little character and very entertaining. At one point he had as all doing these little dance moves that he & Aunty Jords created, going around the table pointing at each person to join in. Nice to hang out with friends on a Saturday afternoon/evening. Big & late night for the little fella. He has been chatting about Aunty Jords and his visit all morning.
