I was so upset when my second eye surgery was scheduled for Emerson's birthday. I wanted to spend the day with my little one. When my appointment was re-scheduled I wanted to do something fun and special for the children. My sister Fiona had the perfect suggestion. Thus, we welcomed Emerson's first birthday at Lone Pine, sharing in the awe and delight animals evoke in children (and adults.) Umbrellas and raincoats packed, we braved the grey clouds and I so pleased the we did. I do love little ones in rain coats and gum boots! It was a wonderful day. Cohen enjoyed every minute. Emerson watched from the pram or the sling, getting up close to the oh, so tame kangaroos. And I held a koala for the first time.
The map of the sanctuary now graces Cohen's wall. I do believe it won't belong before we take Dada back and show him.

I love Lone Pine, my sister lives round the corner and I took Bell there for a visit years ago. I remember the Koala pooed on me! P.S. You are looking well x
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful day! Love the photo of you and the Koala - considering you only just had surgery, your eye looks like it's already healing pretty well. Take care. Mel x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos...it certainly looks like great place to go :-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks so gorgeous! I've never been I have to admit but that I did have summer after summer as a child at the Currumbin Bird Sanctuary so I can totally relate :) How wonderful that they are tame kangaroos - I still remember my brother being scratched across the face by one when he was an inquisitive little boy. Glad you had a nice day for Emerson's birthday :) Kx
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteI love Lone Pine myself and I have been wanting to take Toddler C there...I love the sheep dog show and the baby animals!
And PS I love the colours of your beads!
Gorgeous pics Christina! We had something similar like that in the last city we were in. It was great fun :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your necklace - so pretty!

Best day ever!
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteIt was really a wonderful day!
I have never seen a koala or a kangaroos, here in Brazil we do not have, but I loved the pictures!
Happy birthday Emerson!
Have a nice weekend!
Your outing looks like fun and your eyes are beautiful, good luck with surgery number two and so glad you got to celebrate your daughter's birthday!!
ReplyDeleteI know that it's probably the same as goats or sheep would be here, but KANGAROOS! That is so awesome! Glad your surgery was rescheduled so that you could have fun for the big birthday.
ReplyDeleteHappy 1st Birthday to your sweet girl! Looks like a great way to spend it too..x
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day. Glad you are now able to get out and about just a little bit. Best of luck for the next surgery.
ReplyDeleteAnd, of course, happy birthday to your baby girl!
Just discovered your lovely blog via a crochet flower tutorial which I am hooking away here on the east coast of the States as the last - I hope do the winter snows fall. Thank you for this peek into your life and for that tute!
