Fun At Muddy's

With the lovely weather we had been having, after all that rain, yesterday my mother, Monet and myself ventured up to Muddy's Playground. We hadn't been up there for a few weeks and I know the last time Monet and I went, she had a wonderful time. She had an even better time yesterday.

Once upon a time, she would stand back, not eagar to really run through the wonderful water fountains, or touch them for that matter. She touch one, squeal, then run off, eagar to continue exploring. We'd be there for about half an hour.

Yesterday we were there for 90 minutes. And she still didn't want to leave. She spent the 20 minute walk home in the pram whinging! Urgh. But anyway...

...Monet had a terrific time, running from fountain to fountain, from play equipment to play equipment. Simply great fun to watch her and those little legs running around and lots of squeals of delight. She tried to get her Nanma to run around too but that wasn't going to happen. The run around part I mean. I think my mother enjoyed watching her grandchild having a blast.

I love to watch children there. The looks on their faces when they cop a water fountain in the face (the water stops and starts spasmodically) or when they run through the loops of water. I enjoyed watching a family of four Asian tourists there yesterday. The two boys with their 'Rip Curl' rashies on and their parents each with a camera and video camera, recording their moves. The thing was, the parents both had a can of XXXX Gold (beer) cans in their hands, and it wasn't even 11am. That made me smile even more...

As I mentioned before, the walk home was pretty memorable for all the wrong reasons. Boy my girl can whinge! (She gets moody just like me! Hehe, at least I can admit it!!)

I think the next time we venture up there, before my mother leaves next week, I will definitely be taking my own drinks and food. (Even though there is a cafe on site the prices are, well, pricey!) I think Monet will want to settle in at Muddy's for the day.
