Lollipops

The first weekend of school holiday was wet. Not wet all day raining without interruption wet but almost every hour a shower would arrive making outdoor activities unpleasant. Thankfully, Aunty Annette had a plan. She knew of a place in Frenchs Forest where the boys could play indoors, Lollipops Playland and Cafe.

Graham had been a bit bored at home so when they walked inside and he was told "Go play," his little face lit up in absolute delight. In fact, after spending all day Saturday and then Sunday morning stuck at home both Graham and Craig were super happy to have somewhere new to play.

They started on a slide but there's no photos of it. The slide was quite steep and scared Graham a little. By the time they found this area with nerf balls their cousin Bailey had arrived to join in the fun.

Graham loves these machines that suck the balls up. He ran around madly gathering up as many balls as he could to put in the machines, one of which would dump them back on the kids below when a button on the wall was pressed.

They were having too much fun to care about looking at the camera for photos.

There's a tiny spinning tea cup ride.

The boys response to the ride was a bit lukewarm.


There was plenty of climbing to be done. Graham looked tiny when he was up this high.

The blonde boy in the next photo looked unhappy because he was being told off by his mother for throwing balls at Graham. It didn't seem fair to him because Graham had thrown balls straight into his face several times.

You can get away with all kinds of things when you're the smallest.

There was plenty more climbing and running and general messing about. The fun lasted three and a half hours, non-stop! Graham was exhausted at the end.

The only minor mishap was Bailey very kindly giving a chocolate Easter Bunny each to Craig and Graham. Craig only had a bite but Graham managed to finish half of his before Dad took it away. It was no surprise that less than an hour later, Graham didn't want dinner while Craig finished his very quickly.
