Grandies in Town

Last week both Nana and Grandad came to Canberra to keep us company while Andy was in Hobart. As always the girls were excited by their visit.

First excursion was Floriade, a must at this time of year and a regular fixture on the grandies calendar (for the past 5 years either Nana or Grandad and occasionally both have seen Floriade). We had a beautiful day to enjoy this years theme Style and Design, so garden bed designs included Hair Fashion, Lipstick Kisses, Stiletto Parade, Art Deco, Pop Top Hat, Martini Delights, All that Jazz....  Some beds were easier to interpret than others especially when not all the flowers were blossoming.

Despite getting there early, we had a long wait at Matilda's Farmyard.  Nadia the pony was in her own pen (as I think she was getting a little over being patted and poke by thousands of kids), so we only got to look at her. There were however many other animals to capture Ella and Katy's attention. Favourites included the piglets, a rabbit and the little pink headed chickens. Actually come to think of it, pink seemed to be the fashion of most of the farmyard animals

Once we extracted the girls from the farmyard, it was back through the garden beds. Ella took control of the camera getting up close and personal with the flowers. She captured some wonderful pictures.

Then there is nothing better to finish the morning with a chocolate ice cream!
