Birthday Treat

Hubby and I had a night away as a birthday treat for me. We stayed here....


at the Escarpment Retreat at Mt Tamborine at the Gold Coast. We found heaps of things to do and we are planning a day trip back with Aden sometime soon! There is an award winning winery, distillery, and cheese factory and I found a fudge shop. YUM!! We are going to do the Rainforest Skywalk next time too!

We went to the Outback Spectacular show. It was fantastic! The food was delicious and the animals were great. It was very entertaining! You couldn't take pictures of the show of course but you could in the main bar before the show. Some stars of the show...not me of course!



Live Music before the show
Mystery and 'Johnno Johnson' the lead character after the show

Aden was a good boy for his Nana and Poppa Mick while we were away! So of course he got a little treat...A little border collie pup of his own...complete with flashing collar!

{3rd Birthday} Octonauts party

Image
It has been a week two weeks since Aden's Octonauts party and I think I have recovered enough to post about it. Special thanks to my sister for gabbing my camera and my MIL and SIL for their cameras, as I didn't take any all day! Aden is a massive Octonauts fan! So when he didn't go for my initial plan of a 'Monsters' Party ( too scary Mummy!) we decided on Octonauts. I did a lot of Internet searching and looking at a lot of Pintrest posts to gather all my ideas together.  There was lots of party food including Octonaut Cupcakes. Cake toppers from Ebay  And a Kwazii cake as requested by the birthday boy! I totally forgot to put on the Octopus I had for his hat!! We also had yellow/green/blue jelly cups with turtles in them and smarties cookies. As well as regular party food and hot finger food for the adults. Mummy wiping Aden's face before having cake photos! We had balloons, a birthday banner and streamers. ...
