Somethings always happening.....

Never a dull moment in the Excell Household...

Dress Up day at school - Vowels

U-nicorn & E-ngineer 

(plus another unicorn and a happy poser 😊 )

Davy went to work in the shearing shed but found somewhere comfy to sleep instead 💤!

No sooner were we home from QLD we were off again to NSW for La & Leyla's Birthday

Treetops Adventure Park was La's Birthday Activity and it did not disappoint! 

Full to the brim of tree climbing challenges and fun zip lines,  

Perfect for all the little monkeys in our family! 🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒

We finished the day off with Tea with Jill, Morgs & Lucho and a Pavlova cake 

(the first year I have been made redundant as chief cake decorator...😥)

As always we drop into Lexie in time for her Birthday 

Aunty Lyce created an absolute Masterpiece whilst we sat and watched in awe....😯

Present opening with the Birthday Girl herself before we made a swift exit in time for school drop off

The Last of Sunny Queensland.....

Aussie World!!

Just a hop, skip & jump from Warren & Fi's is Aussie World

Being during the QLD school term we pretty much had the place to ourselves!

Toby & Steve on some gross whizzy spin around ride....

Beau by himself on the Rocket ride

Annie & Davy on the train...... my kinda ride!

Race Car Drivers

The Leaky Logs Ride - this one I did go on and it was fun!!

Next we ventured out to Eumundi to check out the huge markets, actually massive, so much so we barely even saw 1/3 of it! 

Then on the way back we relived my childhood and stopped in at the Big Pineapple

Unfortunately it is nothing like I remembered, the surrounds were fairly run down and derelict..... 

But the actual Pineapple was still in good nic! 

We spent a day exploring Noosa 

I have no pictorial evidence but

 Steve went to Gympie to check out some work machines, 

We spent a day with Uncle Clarrie, Aunty Jill, Uncle Daryl and Aunty Isobel,

The boys played Lazertag 

and we swam at the Awesome Currimundi Lake/ Beach

 Then the rain came back and when cabin fever started to set in we went for a drive to the Glasshouse Mountains

Exploring in between the rain showers

Toby once again in charge of the camera...

On our last day we went next door and checked out the latest Aura Housing development, checked out the amazing playgrounds and even had a sneaky look in the display houses (great for ideas...)  

Then it was time to board the plane and come back to SA

Chaos.....

Bye Bye Brisbane!!

Australia Zoo

Crikey! Its Australia Zoo!

(Toby was the main Photographer for the day so this is Australia Zoo through his eyes.....)

It was a warm day so we started off in Africa and headed back towards Oz

Meerkats, Rhinos, Giraffes and Zebras

Parrots and snakes.....

King Julienne!! 

Patting the natives....

then onto the reptiles....

Dingoes and cassowary 

of course we stop in at the farm!

Roo Selfies

And Of course HEAPS of Crocs!!!

*on a side note this is not even a 1/4 of the photos taken.......
