The Smashing Builder

Enjoy Logan working on his block building one afternoon going from concentration and perserverance and then tipping over the edge to crazy smash mode. Can you guess at what point I managed to catch him on video....

Not sure what he is saying exactly when he has had enough building, but am sure you can add a few words of your own :)

The Perth Show

We hadn't been to the Perth Show yet which is on around September every year, mainly as I thought it was more for kids and not a very big show/fair because it's at the Claremont showgrounds. Which I'd mistakenly thought was just the obvious grassy area but actually has lots of buildings and other grounds around the edge, where the majority of the show is located.

So mainly for Logan and due to not being able to go next year we decided to give it a go. Knowing it was going to be busy being a public holiday we headed there for the start around 9am, to beat the crowds and Logan is like us and generally better in the mornings.

So where's the dive tanks Dad?

And was pleasantly surprised to see how much was there, from shows tailored to certain interests, various stalls and several animal enclosures. Obvious you might think with it being a "show" but I hadn't figured the whole animal thing was going to be so prominent, pretty similar to the Royal Show in Toronto. But that was good as Logan has definitely picked up on our interest in animals and one of the best areas was a huge Aviary with a lot of  loud and crazy birds!

And Yes, that was a Giant Pigeon (no really it says it on the cage)

So overall a good morning and Logan loved seeing all the different animals (although doesn't look it in this photo) and did well with the crowds too. Then as he was having enough around 1pm it was the right time to head off as the hoards were heading in and we had sampled Donuts and Candy Floss too, so job done!

More photos on Picasa and Janice was really there, but for a change I ended up in all the photos :)

Its a crazy world where "dog eats dog"

Or if Logan is involved it might be more the vegetables that eat the animals.... and to make it more entertaining he has this great eating sound effect (not sure where that would come from!) which sounds like "num e num e num" and trust me its tough to replicate, I've tried!

And as one of his other latest crazes is to love things that have double P's in their names with "pom pom" being a prime example. If you've got a "Purple Pom Pom" then he's your friend for life (or until he gets bored and moves on in about 30 seconds).

Kings Park Flower Festival

Every year around September, Kings Park does a great job of showcasing the many flowers and flowering plants from across Australia and some fun extras. So we decided to take a wander around there a few weeks ago and had a good afternoon exploring.

And of course a lot more photos on picasa.
