During my travels ......
mafisKumA share your interesting travel story here, eve jas ke pocnam [:p] Last Thursday and Friday, I, as all mothers with "sucker" [B)] written on their forehead, was persuaded to attend a year 4 camp. On Thursday we visited Underwater World, and had a sleep over in the tunnel http://www.underwaterworld.com.au/complex/tunnel.asp. I must admit once I got over my initial phobia, it was visually calming to have sharks and stingrays amongst a menagerie of fish swimming above you.[:0] It wasn't bad enough that there were 66 children from our school but to add to the horror there were another 51 children from another school also having a sleep over. Just take a moment to imagine being enclosed in an aquarium with sharks, stingrays and the most dangerous of all 117 nine year olds[:p][:o)]. The highlights of the sleepover for me where when a child that wasn't even from our school woke me up at 1.00am to inform me that he wants to go home [V], well you can just imagine how overwhelmed and privileged I was that he felt compelled to share that bit of information with me[:p]. Not too long after this little saga one of the kids from our school woke me up because had a bleeding tooth, perhaps I resembled a dentist at 1.30am [:D]. The very next day we headed off to Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo. All I can is "crikey" by now I just wanted to feed these kids to the crocodiles and snakes.[:o)][:p] I take pride in announcing that no matter how great the temptation to feed some children to the sharks, crocodiles and snakes I summonsed all my self control and refrained from doing so[:D][:D]. All children were returned to their rightful owners by Friday afternoon.[:)] God only knows what possessed me to even remotely entertain the idea of giving up smoking.[V][:p][:0][8D][:I]
