On Ekka Wednesday, we started the day off with a trip to see Nanna & Poppy, then off to Orion Shopping Centre (pictured) for some rides (jumping castle, Merry go round, slippery slide), then back to Booval to pick Mum up and an hour spent doing Sand painting before finally heading home.

What a champ
Well today was a major milestone in CB’s young life.
Today is the day she learned to ride her bike without the training wheels.
It all started Saturday arvo, when we heard excited voices in the backyard the a loud clang ( as we found out layer, this was the sound of CB running JP’s bike into the back fence). They both ran upstairs excitedly to tell us that CB was riding the bike by herself.
After this, we went out the front to the footpath, after I removed the training wheels off her bike, for some practice. She was still not confident in her new found abilities and wouldn’t listen to reason, she just wanted to ride and was getting upset that she couldn’t just do it.
As it was late in the afternoon I told her that she had made excellent progress today and I would take her down the park in the morning where she would be able to ride easily.
First thing in the morning, we went down the park. One push was all it took. She was off and never looked back. She rode for so long that her hands got tired.
We are very proud of her efforts, but even more so her tenacity of kepping on going even after some good spills at the bmx track in the afternoon
Good on ya, CB.
Pics to follow 2nite !!!

In the queen Street Mall at lunch today, what did I stumble across. A
Nicabate Mini Concert with Jate Ceberano and Carl Risely (of Aussie
Idol Fame).
Kate was excellent, but Carl was only on to play the trumpet for one
song in the half hour that I watched.
Gr8 songs Kate, well done.

Today, saw us at the Sustainability Expo at the showgrounds in
Ipswich. After having a bit of a look around, and stopping twice at the petting zoo, we headed outside to the Life Be in it games and jumping castle.
After this we headed up to Queens Park for a picnic in the glorious warm sunshine.
A most excellent adventure, Ted.

Saturday morning, I was up at a sparrows fart, to go with AA and the boys to Gamedude at Springwood to get the required parts to build “Dreven”.
After a few hours of building and software loading all was done, and looking resplendent in it’s new home.
Enjoy !!!!

I decided that CB was old enough and should be able to tie her own
laces.
I only needed to show her once, and she got it. She has now tied her
shoes about 100 times in the last 20 minutes.
She is so proud of herself, as are we.

This morning I walked out of the house straight into this soup. By far
the foggiest morning of the year.
