Movie World

We joined the Ireland family for a day at Movie World. A great day out was had by all. With a group of 4 adults and 6 kids there is always someone wanting to go on the same ride.

The Superman Rollercoaster goes from zero to one hundred kms in 3 seconds. This put Wayne and Brett off further coasters for the day. Sally and Louise left them in the kids section and did the big kid's rides together.

Sally & Brett

The kids had fun in August with their cousins coming to stay. We took them to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, city cat ferry, up Mt Coot-tha and bike riding along the river. After a few days with us they travelled to the Gold Coast for theme parks and beaches.

Kindy Fete

Charlotte's kindy had a big fund-raiser which closed the street one Sunday morning. There was a huge turnout to see the entertainment, animals, police, firetrucks and more. Josh, Tessa and Charlotte really got into the swing of it.

Murray & Denise

We had a very enjoyable day trip to Murray and Denise's with a picnic lunch at Lake Currumbin. Murray left a few things at home and the kangaroo sausages unattended on the bbq but we had a great time.

Kirsty got to play with Bella (their dog) and Bear (their cat) and Josh, Tessa and Charlotte played with frisbees, trees and the lake's edge.

Kirsty

On July 4th we took on Kirsty, our Seeing Eye Dog Puppy. She was 8 weeks old when she joined us and we will be her Puppy Carers until she is about 1 year old. She will then go on for formal training and placement with her new owner.

We have learned a lot about dogs in a short space of time! Seeing Eye Dogs Australia provide all her food & vet costs and Bev (the trainer) meets us weekly/fortnightly to support and further Kirsty's training. We also go on interesting outings once a month with the other SEDA puppies, like to a firestation or camel farm.

Kirsty goes everywhere with us. She is now well known at school, kindy and the local community. Living in the Crean household has made her bombproof and very tolerant of children!
