Snowdome

On Monday of the second week of the school holidays, MLR, AJR, Mici and I went to the snow dome with JMK and JBK and their mother. As we arrived, just after 10am, we were met by TSS with two sets of wristlets for the kids, one with A on it and the other with M on it, AJR has not really taken his off since. In fact we have to ask him to take them off to eat. The link shows you one TSS made earlier. The temperature was only 1C at 10 am, so we were keen to get moving, at 12 it had doubled to 2C.

I have to say I was disappointed with everything at Winter Wonderland or the snowdome except the skating. The rink was good, the helpers were on the ball. CJK, AJR and JMK (aged 4) all got some decent skating in.

Everything else was a rip off. Next time we will just go to the Phillip Ice Skating Rink.

As you entered there was snow falling in bursts, however it was not snow but bubbles. The toboggan slide was great for JMK and AJR, the two M's were not interested - you sit in blow up boat and slide down. JMK had about 5 or 6 goes, but did not pay for all of them. Snowballs turned out to be buckets of ice that you had to form into balls and then could only throw them at a painted wooden snowman. Mici, MLR, AJR and I all had a go on the dodgems which we all loved (not sure how they relate to snow, but they are a good money spinner).

We all went back to CJK's for lunch. I left AJR there to play with the the PlayStation. I drove to Bundanoon with the girls. We arrived about 4.20 to find that the white ant man had not arrived yet so Dad was not impressed. We stayed about an a hour and checked out the Kangaroo's and the two wombat holes, had a drink and froze a lot. Mici and I got back to CJK's about 8pm. Mici got home about 9pm. AJR and I got home to find a wonderful fish dish and salad courtesy of JSR - yum.
