Floriade

Since visiting Floriade for the first time in 2008 with 18month old Ella, I haven't missed a year except this year. My excuse...work/school but mainly the weather. Actually it was the first time in the 29 year history of Floriade that it was closed for two days due to....the weather.

Luckily for the girls, they got to go with Nana and when the sun was mostly shining! All the normal activities were ticked off the list - the reptile people were there, a gnome was painted, picnic lunch complete with ice cream plus a ride on the ferris wheel. Life in bloom was the theme although according to the girls the flowers weren't as good as previous years. Perhaps it wasn't too bad to have missed out??

  The new gnome making friends in our garden...perhaps not sporting that bloodied lip??
