Bowling and Wildlife on the Gold Coast

This was so much fun. Glow in the Dark bowling. On the day that Steve's parents were arriving we wanted to do something that just took the morning. We got the bus into Surfers and had a 'ball' LOL The shoes, ball and pins all glowed, Isaac thought it was hilarious.




Was there anything that could surpass the excitement of Tobyn getting to pat a tiger cub? Not really but we did do some other exciting things while on the Gold Coast. Steve's parents arrived on the Saturday and we had the rest of the holiday with them. It was nice to have them there if not a little challenging to cope with our differences. The day after they arrived we went to Currumbin animal sanctuary. This outing would have to rate right up near the top of our highlights! When we were in Oz 7 years ago this was one of our faves then too. 7 years later it has only improved. They had an awesome kids playground, Tobyn and Isaac would've spent the whole day in there!

As with last time the parakeets at the beginning of the day was awesome. Check out these 2 pics. Isaac was so amazing with all the animals! He didn't get frightened and was more than happy to touch them and have them come up to him!






Tobyn got to hold a baby croc and a snake. He was so chuffed just look at that face. Tobyn is not good at showing emotions but with these experiences it was hard for him not to!



Then the kangaroos! Isaac was in heaven, he absolutely loved it. He wanted to touch them all and feed them all. One of the volunteers came up to us in awe of how he was. She said that most children his size are frightened because the kangaroos are bigger than them. As for his older brother, he didn't want to feed them from his hand, he put the feed on the ground. Yep that is my OCD 9 year old, can't stand getting his hands dirty!







And the next photo is just for fun. I love that Steve and Tobyn had so much fun playing the fools!
