Caversham Wildlife Park on Mothers day.....

For mothers day this morning I was woken up by Reece running into the room singing "Happy mothers day, Happy mothers day mom – Love you mom, Love you mom now you can open your present". Over the last week at school he had made a beautiful little card in the shape of a little bag which had been decorated with little gems.... then I found a note telling me about all the special things I do for him and a little bracelet that he had made. He was so proud of himself because he remembered by himself that it was mother’s day......Bryce woke up a little later and came running in to the room also to wish me a happy mothers day but kept on telling me “Mind my truck mom....” as he was holding one of his trucks he just loves.....

So later in the morning as it was a little overcast we decided to take them to a wildlife park about 30minutes drive away from us towards the East of Perth. We started off in one of the picnic areas having a drink and something for lunch. The wildlife park is within a bigger park called Whitman Park. It is huge and has plenty of picnic spots and water parks for the kids.

We started the wildlife tour of the park and it was a great as the boys were able to walk everywhere and were well occupied.

Reece loved the fact that he could touch and feed wooloroos – it was his favourite part of the day. We saw many varieties of parrots and macaws, flying foxes, wallaby’s, wombats, emu’s, koala’s – which the boys were able to touch as well.

To round off the day Reece and Bryce had a ride in two of the little electric cars – one which is dedicated to Steve Irwin and tells the kids a story as he is catching a crocodile.

Then to top it off Heath and the boys made me a delicious chicken roast! I have not had a roast since I have been in Oz..... so well worth it.
Great fun and thanks boys for a great Mothers day!
Cheers
Nicky
