Security Breach

Sorry for the lack of posts but we've been enjoying ourselves holidaying in Perth.

For this trip we decided for the same price to avoid the direct Canberra - Perth which leaves Canberra at 7.30ish pm to land in Perth at 12ish am then arrive at parents house in Kardinya by 1ish am. Rather we left Canberra on a 10am flight to Melbourne, had a 2 hours wait before boarding at 1pm which had us land in Perth at 4.30ish pm arriving at Kardinya by 5.30pm. Much more civilised!

However it was in Melbourne airport where we needed to kill some time so off we ventured. Now we all know what 2yr olds are like good fun most of the time but also determined to show some independence some may stubborn. So we are walking from our gate at Virgin towards the general food and check in area with Andy and Ella leading the way when Katy decides she doesn't want to walk and plonks herself down. After a few encouraging words which got me no where I said 'oh well just have to leave you there Katy' and keep walking hoping we would get a short distance before she would come running.

Unfortunately two things occurred simultaneously- Katy didn't come running (she was about 15 metres away) and we by this stage were heading into the security section (without actually realising it). Andy  turned around, began to walk back towards Katy intending to pick her up and in the process set off all the alarms!!! Within seconds, were flashing lights, sirens blarring and guards running!

Katy meanwhile had stated to moved a little towards Andy but then deciding that it was a game turned on her heel and ran! With The guards blocking Andy we stood and watched helplessly. Katy still thought it was all very funny that was until one of the guards caught up with her and carried her back! With lots of disapproving glares we continued on our way....
