An awesome day..

We had a fantastic day today!!!!
Adam and I bought the girls a wildlife experience gift voucher for Christmas and today was the day we went!!!
We were up bright and early and down at the Vale St jetty by 8:30 this morning (yes I know that is early for a Sunday... but we managed!) The first boat we boarded was a dolphin watch cruise. WOW, WOW WOW- we saw heaps of dolphins and thank goodness for digital cameras because I took HEAPS of photos!!!!
On our way out we were served fresh fruit- yum!! We passed the mussel farm and a little later the deckie cooked up some chili mussels- absolutely delicious!!! As I said we saw HEAPS of dolphins and for morning tea we had tea/coffee and biscuits!!! The skipper Murray even let the girls have a turn each to drive the boat home!

Captain Emma.

Captain Sarah.

When we arrived back at the jetty, we then went on to join the Penguin Island ferry and off we went to Penguin Island. We had lunch there and went on a guided island walk. Although we didn't see any wild penguins we went to a 'penguin feeding' and saw about ten gorgeous penguins having their lunch!!
Cute, aren't they?

After that we boarded the glass bottom boat for a tour around the waters of Penguin Island to view the bird life and see the very lazy sea lions- the sea lions were all sun baking on the shores of Seal Island and didn't pay us the slightest bit of attention!!!

We made it home by about 4pm and basically relaxed for the rest of the day!! Overall - a great day!!!

I also have some scrapping to share...

This is a 'just because' LO and also my 10th LO for my 'ten LOs without shopping' challenge. YAY- I did it and now I can shop!!!
Scrappaper are having a cybercrop this weekend and this LO is based on the sketch for challenge #1.
This is another LO for the Scrappaper CC- challenge #4- free choice!!!!

That's about it for tonight- I do have another LO finished however it is too late and too dark to photograph it. I have Emma's birthday cake nearly finished and as I type Adam is making cupcakes .... all getting ready for EMMA'S 8TH BIRTHDAY tomorrow!!!!! Wooo hoooo!!!

Stay happy and stay safe!
