Goldfields weekend
We had planned to go camping through the Goldfields region of Central Victoria on the weekend but the forecast was for shabby weather, so rather than cancel the trip, we traded the tent for a motel room and went regardless.
First stop was to visit my friend Ben in Creswick, who is moving to Launceston in January. We had a good time seeing him and his family, and Bennett had a great time playing paper aeroplanes with Ben's youngest son, (the mighty) Quinn.
From Creswick we went to Daylesford which was nice until we started to get sick of the frequent rantings of bitchy snobby women. Then onto Castlemaine but the boy was asleep and most places were closed so we weren't there for long.
We got to Bendigo and checked out the Golden Dragon Museum and nearby Chinese Gardens and Bennett had a good time feeding the goldfish.

After checking into the motel, we continued along the Chinese theme by having dinner at the glorious House Of Khong.
In the morning we went to some markets at the Ballarat Showgrounds, where Bennett had a turn on the giant inflatable slide, and then off for coffee with my cousin Erin, where Bennett was a cheeky, smiley little show-off. Our final destination in Bendigo was the Discovery Centre, where Bennett had lots of fun with the exhibits and checking out the vertical slide. He couldn't go on the slide because you've got to be at least five years old, but that didn't stop him having a look and giving his orders.
A great weekend... we all had a good time.

Outdoor Pool
Bennett has been dying to get to the outdoor pool again since it opened for the summer season so today we went..........
Daddy's Birthday
Last Sunday was Daddy's birthday and we decided to go for a road trip to Sheparton to the Ardmona Factory to stock up on tinned fruit and tinned tomatos. We went to Kid's Town which is Bennett's most favourite place at the moment.
