Despite a chilly start, today was forecast for blue skies and sunshine and so mid-morning, the girls and I went for an outing to the Fremantle fishing boat harbour. Our first stop was the iconic Cicerello's, a new favourite spot of Grace's due to their three enormous fishtanks surrounding the eating area. Even Sophie seems to enjoy watching all the fish swimming around. While we were there too early today for fish and chips, we did enjoy a cup of tea and a babycino to warm us up before investigating all the marine life surrounding us. Much to Grace's delight, she found 'Nemo' and 'Dory' as well as a puffer fish hiding in the rocks. However, the firm favourite with her was definitely the huge octopus. She was intrigued by it and its suckers. I have to admit, I was fascinated myself when it made a dash from one end of the tank to the other in lightning speed. Who knew such a creature could move so fast?
Our outing provided lots of questions from my big girl. "Where do jellyfish sleep?" she asked. When I told her I assumed they just closed their eyes and continued floating around the ocean she seemed concerned. "But what about a cushion?" she said.
Grace was even allowed to 'pat' a baby shark and a 'Daddy' shark and got to hold a star fish. Such excitement for a three year old!
Afterwards, we walked around in the sunshine out on the board walk jetty, looking at the huge fishing boats and stopping to watch a cargo train as it passed by before heading home for lunch.
How have you spent your Wednesday?
Awwww...what about a cushion? soooooo adorable. They are growing up so fast Amanda...such beautiful girls..and Grace's pig tails are adorable. x
ReplyDeleteI've been dying to be able to tie up her hair :) It's finally long enough!!
Deleteoh, that sounds amazing Amanda. What a gorgeous inquisitive little girl Grace is. Does she ever run off? I am longing for the day I can just easily meander with the boys. But they're still at the 'mad dash in opposite directions' stage. xxx
ReplyDeleteNo, I'm lucky Grace will always stay close by fortunately. Yes, hard when they dash in opposite directions!!
DeleteOh gosh that was a much much better day than mine, stuck at work, being bugged by pesky people etc. I'd have enjoyed touching the shark too. No wonder Grace was so excited! Looks like a beautiful weather day too. xx
ReplyDeleteOooh what a lovely way to spend a Wednesday :) I love that Grace found Nemo & Dory :))))
ReplyDeleteAnd how big does Sophie look in the pram!!!!!! Where have our newborns gone??
My Wednesday? A trip to the library with my 2, then the groceries, and then a quiet afternoon at home playing :) A nice, easy day. Ryder has a cold so we're taking it easy at the moment.

Your day sounds lovely for a quiet, simple one Claire. Would love believe, after our perfect morning, Sophie began sneezing and has come down with a cold too :( Our poor bubs :(
DeleteI can see in the last photo how intrigued Grace is with all of the sea creatures. What a lovely spot to go to for morning tea together, it sounds like lots of learning opportunities from you little visit. My Wednesday was spent taking Molly to get clipped, a little bit of gardening and little bit of cooking. I hope you enjoy your Thursday together. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous place to visit! Love the cushion comment, so adorable! I found rainbow fabric at Spotlight, thank you so much for your help! x
ReplyDeleteGlad you found some suitable fabric Emma! x
DeleteI'm always jealous when you guys are starting cooler weather right when we're getting hot! Your girls are too sweet.
ReplyDeleteMy Wednesday was nothing like your Wednesday, sadly. I worked hard and worked late. Your day sounded wonderful. What fun it must have been to watch Grace as she experienced all that exciting sea life!
