Dry Fun at Adventure Park

The last time we went down to our cabin at Swanbay the weather was not great.  As our Summer Fun passes expire in April, we thuoght we would go to Adventure Park and utilise the dry activities.  Firstly we palyed mini golf, then Hovsep and Christian had numerous go's at Archery.

Please excuse where my cheeky Buster has his hand!!!

Below are photo's of us playing mini golf, and I am proud to say that I was the winner today.





From mini golf it was off to the Archery.

When we went back to the cabin, it was time to take Charleigh for a walk, as she was finally allowed to go for a small walk after being desexed.  It is such a beautiful walking track at the Holiday Park.  There are always swans and pelcans for you to look at in the dam.


This is not a great shot, but these are balck swans.

This is the view as you walk around the track.  Just beautiful...

Buying the cabin is the best thing we have done and we just love going there... It truely is Paradise.

Cha Cha's Operation

My beautiful puppy, (well she is not really a puppy anymore) was speyed on Thursday last week.  Hovsep, Christian and I always wanted Charleigh to have one litter of puppies, because we think she is very pretty and our other dog Rio is very old, so we thought we would keep one of her pups.  In recent times I have started studying as well as working full time and now helping run Hovsep's new company, I find I don't have much free time and I would definitely not have time to look after a litter of puppies.  After a bitch has had 4 season's their risk of uterine and breast cancer increase 10% with each season.  Charleigh has been on heat 4 times, so it was time to get her done.


This is Charleigh the day we bought her home.  Very cute don't you think?

Christian and I dropped her off at the vet at 8.30 in the morning and picked her back up at 5.00pm.  She was very dizzy and kept falling over.  She has a bucket on her head which is causing all sorts of dramas.  She keeps walking into walls and doors and mostly us, which hurts.  My lower legs are covered in bruises.  The bucket needs to stay on for 10-14 days and she needs to be kept inside and quiet for that period.  She thinks all her Christmas' have come at once, as she is normally an outdoor dog.  Every time she has a drink of water she knocks the bowl over because of the bucket.  I really look forward to the 14 days being up, and she won't know what has hit her when she has to go back outside.  Rio is really missing her and feeling very left out.  We can't let Rio inside because he keeps sniffing at her stitches, and knowing him he will think he is doing her a favour and will lick them and try to chew them out.

Weekend Fun at Advernture Park

Adventure Park is Victoria's largest water fun park, and lucky for us is situated a 5 minute drive from our cabin.  We purchased season's passes for the summer so we can go when ever we want to.  There are 21 rides, including giant water slides, tubes rides, go karts, mini golf, canoes and heaps more.


This is one of the kids play area's which is so much fun and there are as many adults on it as kids.




Christian just loves it there as you can see from these photos.




If the weather is not hot enough for the water rides we just go to play mini golf, go go- karting and practice archery.


I know the warmer weather is few and far between now, so I don't think there will be many more trips to Adventure Park for the water rides.  Fingers crossed for a warm Easter.
