Queens Birthday Long Weekend Day 1

Steps for Saturday 7,378
JR played golf and got over 15,000 steps - maybe I should take up golf, wait who would look after the children, maybe not!

AJR cleaned up his bedroom and it looks great - his three best friends came over for a couple of hours in the middle of the day, they all dressed up and made gooses of themselves - which was extremely funny, wish I had a camera! Then they all went to another friends house for another couple of hours.

MLR, her friend Micky and I went to Kid City in Mitchell, down the new GDE (Gungahlin Drive Extension) which means it only takes twenty five minutes and there are almost no traffic lights. This road was opened in late April after over a year of traffic disruptions and difficulties, particularly at the Glenloch Interchange. The new road was described by the media as Canberra's first LA style flyover road. Not sure why we were not compared to the ones in Sydney (LA sounds much more exciting I suspect). We met up with my friend CJK and her kids. Later we went to their new house in a new suburb called Forde, named after a Prime Minister not a car. After a tour and a long discussion about hot water heaters we travelled home watching the fireworks in other people's backyards.
