A day out

Today we were off to healsville sanctuary, and we were going to have breakfast with the birds. Birds have the breakfast really early so we were in the car and off at 8.00 and walking through the gates right on open time at 9.00. The feeding started at 9.30, we walked around, following the map, hmmm i am not the greatest at that... so I think it took longer then it should of but we did make it, however the girls at the ticket place had not given us the tickets we needed to get in... ahhh nooo with didn't have time to back track with the girls in tow, plus I was pretty sure I would get lost on the way too. Lucky a quick call to the front desk confirmed we were ok to go through.

Girls once again suprised me, the black cockatoo's were massive and the girls were not scared of them flying down on to them and eating the seed from their hands, little Lara was of course first to voluanteer to feed them, I love this photo of her, she is so proud and happy, and the smug look of her face is because she got to go first. Another bird ate worms and I wasn't sure the girls would feed them as it ment taking a handful of worms, Bailee jumped at this, and the others quickly followed, my girly girls, picking up worms!!! who would of thought.

We walked on and followed the trail around to the black kangaroo's girls fed them too, I was impressed once again at their behaviour, all were very gently and well behaved even the zoo keeper commenting on how good they were they feed the little kangaroos carrot and corn, after walking around and seeing dingos, and koalas, girls were tiring and we were all getting hungry. We were off the yarra glen pub to meet Pa for lucnh.
Home again home again jiggerty jig!!! oh how we love just potting around home we planted the seedlings for the veggie patch, strawberries, blueberries, tommatos, spring onions, cucumbers, and snow peas for now!! yum can't wait to eat the rewards. Girls ended up covered in mud maybe they aren't such girly girls after all, worms and now mud all in one day.
