On Friday just passed (I wrote this in July and never published it, so many Fridays ago now!), we went on a family outing!!
Henna had the day off work so we decided to do something great. I have wanted to go see the special mummy exhibit since I heard about it back in February. So we decided to do that.
We caught the train in to the museum. It was a good idea at the time, but ended up being more expensive than driving and paying for parking. And Tia made it a little fun...
We got to the museum and pretty much went straight to the line for the exhibit. It started with a 20 minute 3D movie about the mummy on show and how he was embalmed. It was really interesting. Tia did ok, but after about 15 minutes she got restless and ran up and down the aisles. Then I discovered she had a poo. We went back after the movie to see the artefacts, but beacuse Tia wasnt the happiest and needed a nappy change we couldnt look around for long. There were a few mummies, their casings and artefacts from Ancient Egypt. It was something I love learning about so I was a little dissappointed I couldn't look around longer. I guess thats what happens when you go with an 18 month old though. I heard mum wants to go, I might go with her one day...
After the museum we walked over to Southbank. We saw the Wheel of Brisbane Ferris wheel and decided to go on. After we bought the tickets and hopped on Henna and I were like 'what are we doing??" It goes really high and we are scarred of heights. Tia, on the other hand, was pressed up against the glass or climbing on the chair looking at the view. She scarred me a little with her lack of fear. After going around once we calmed a little and enjoyed it. We went around 5 times before we had to get off.
Then we went and got some lunch. Tia was very tired by this stage, and kept looking at the 'dogs' (which were actually ibis birds. Everything is a dog to her now, although she used to say bird). I was also worried she was going to go swimming in the fountain (freezing cold winters day).
She fell asleep on the walk back to the train, much to my relief as I was not looking forward to another train ride with her. Then we headed home.
It was a great day. We had planned to go to the science centre as well, but ran out of time so that will have to be another family excursion another time.
Tia is becoming very vocal now. Not saying real words but just babbling all day long. She has a sweet little voice!!
