A great weekend :)

We had such a wonderful weekend. On Saturday we had a family day and took the kids to Nut Tree; a mini theme park aimed at younger children. It wasn't huge, but it was PERFECT for us with our kids at the ages they are. There was only one ride that Bryttain was too short to go on, which is pretty amazing as she's not three yet, and that was the roller coaster. Arran and I stood in line to go on it, whilst James waited with the two girls. He was so excited....until we got on and were sat in the seats with the barriers across our laps.

"I'm just not sure about this.....I'm just not sure about this!" I asked him if he wanted to change his mind and get off and once again he repeated, without a yes or no "I'm just not sure about this!" at which point I quickly signalled the woman operating the ride and asked her to let us off.

We went on everything else; the train ride (a couple of times), bumper cars, hot air balloon ride, aeroplane ride, rocking horses, carousel, rescue squad, some the kiddies went on a couple of times. Asia was so cute, she desperately wanted to go on everything and would watch her older brother and sister, pointing and clapping (her sign for more) grunting and pleading with us.

We were there for about 4-4 1/2 hours and had to drag them away. It was a great day.

On Sunday, after church and naps, our wonderful friends took all three kids(!) so that James and I could have a date. It was so nice just to wander around together, just the two of us and then get some Thai food. Thai Issan, one of the Thai restaurants in town has new owners since we were there last (a long time ago). They now have a traditional seating area where we sat on the floor to eat, as well as (with it being an earlier date) happy hour, with $3 cocktails and $1 summer rolls or chicken satay!!! Can't beat that, especially as we were also able to combine it with our Savings Card and do buy one get one free for our meals :)
