The Weekend Outing

I try very hard to find us something to do as a family each weekend.

The rules are:

- It must be free or cost very little
- It must involve something that 'exercises' the little one
- It must be something that has something for everyone in the family.

Strangely enough it is the last criteria that is the hardest to fit. I am easy to please - I just like to get out of the house. Harris is fairly easily pleased - as long as there is something interesting to look at - it is the Husband who is most difficult to please!

We are very lucky in Canberra to have so many beautiful National monuments to visit - many of which are free. However, Canberra is also very good at putting on an open day. Almost every weekend there is something on somewhere!

Today we went to the Snowy Hydro Southcare Base Open Day.


There was a helicopter for the kids to climb in (the line was far too long for this pregnant mama to stand in - so we just looked)

Plenty of things for kids to look at: Motorbikes, Firetrucks, Model Aeroplanes. They even had helicopter joy flights that were very reasonably priced - although we didn't partake.



We were far more interested in the firetruck!
