What a day. Since I have the girls for the weekend I thought I would take the Saturday to go down to Victoria for the day, visit some old friends and perhaps take the girls to a couple of sights. turned out fabulous and everybody had a great time.
First order of the day was the bug museum. Got halfway down to Victoria, called Linda to meet up at the Bug museum. Met up there and WOW. turns out that my youngest is scared of nothing. I stared in awe and she has more creepy crawly things crawling all over her than you can shake a stick at. The older, a little more cautious and preferring to watch from the other side of glass. Great fun and we loved the gift shop with all the salt and vinegar grasshoppers.

Then we all went off to Lunch (Love the Old Spaghetti Factory), and split off. The girls and I went to Miniature World (not bad, but certainly didn't stand up to Tarantulas and scorpions).
Boys
I mentioned that we were off to see a very old friend of mine (friends since 16) who has a couple of boys. It was at this point that a slightly exasperated Casey looks as me and asks why all of my friends with kids have only boys. At which point I thought about it and realized that she was absolutely right. Then she decided that since they have boys, they must have done it wrong. (Here you can imagine me falling to the ground on Government street in hysterics).
Boobs
After the getting it wrong comment, we stop for some ice cream and are having a little sit down to enjoy it when there is the gentle tinkle of a bike bell. we turn to see the road filled with people riding their bikes in the buff. hundreds of hairy, gear changing testicles and breasts swinging like pendulums in the chilly wind and sleeting rain. Casey cocks her head to one side as we watch them go by, and in possibly the most dead-pan way I have ever heard asks "Daddy, why are all those people riding their bikes naked?" (really trying not to drop to the ground laughing again ... don't want them to take offence and start chasing me. That would be ... odd)
The rest of the day was spent hanging out and catching up at Jake's. What a fabulous time and an amazing way to end the day. We got home around 9 o'clock and tucking the girls to bed, Casey looks at me and thanks me for having such a great day.
By the way Shell ... I found Greebo ...
He is two weeks old, grey, currently named "Trouble" and we will have him in 10 weeks when he is ready to leave the nest. :)

I heartily agree with Casey! Send your friends with boys my condolences in the lifelong trials that surely await them!
;)
as for the nakedness, I started explaining and was quickly headed off by the distraction of ice cream ... yay for dodged bullets.
leon what have you been up to ??? how was main stage..? and stuff.. do you have you kitten now???
An interesting catch-up. The Naked Bike in Victoria ... also known as retirement heaven. The mind boggles.
Good to see Jordan, who I remember screaming at a fly in the room, tackle creepy-crawlies with such aplomb.
And I can't wait to meet Greebo, and no, he'll never take the place of Aristotle!
Ah naked biking. Apparently my parents did it right once then wrong once. good to know.
