Spun Out at Floriade

Nana (Nat's mum), Katy and I picked Ella up early from childcare and headed over to Floriade - the annual flower display held at Commonwealth Park. Our priority was to visit the patting farm in the kids corner. This year the farm had chickens, ducks, kittens, lambs, goats, a calf, a dog, geese and rabbits. Ella's favourite this year was the cat with her 2 kittens who were in a small cage out of reach to the kids hands. After exhausting the animals, we ventured around the masses of flower beds pointing out all the colours. This year Floriade has a giant ferris wheel, 35 metres tall. Unfortunately Nana wasn't too keen on the height of this ride so we opted to go on the teacup ride which looked much more placid. Looks can be deceiving! For a kids ride, those teacups spin pretty quickly especially when the operator gives them an extra boost as you pas him on each lap. Lets just say Nana was feeling a bit dizzy and sick!

Look at all these flowers!
