J has always been a bit scared/anxious about new experiences and I was a bit skeptical about going to Melbourne...planes, trams, sky bus etc. But he surprised me and was really good, he even seemed to enjoy being on them. I think not talking about it too much helped as he didn't have long to think about it.
So as it was a long weekend, Mr Miller suggested going to a cave and J was really interested and wanted to do that.
After Charlie's sleep and a feed we headed off with too much in the boot-my theory is if you don't have it you will need it.
As soon as we left J started with the "are we there yet?" Mr Miller gave him the Nav Man to hold, he kept repeating what it was saying then when we were on the highway he went quiet for a while. We stopped at Chudleigh Honey Farm. It's a lovely 'shop' where you can taste and buy honey, watch the bees behind glass and learn about bees.
Really bad bed hair
I was surprised J didn't ask for anything so we bought him Bumble Bee $6.95
(I thought that was a good price)
We then went to Mole Creek and got our tickets we had 20 minutes to spare, we had some lunch and put on some extra clothes.
Charlie was in the Baby Bjorn.There were many people doing the tour, both boys were very good in the cave. Charlie eventually fell asleep. J had fun looking at all the different things in the cave, he thought they looked like dinosaur teeth, he didn't even care when they turned the lights off so we could see the glow worms.
Charlie woke up towards the end of the tour about 12.45, he was due for a bottle at 1 so it was good timing. Mr Miller heated his bottle up on his pocket rocket stove.
After his bottle we headed to Westbury for ice-cream. J found a Lightning Mqueen pencil, pad, sticker pad in the car, he peeled all the stickers off and put them on his trousers. It kept him occupied all the way to Westbury.
Charlie kept reaching and grabbing my ice-cream and trying to lick it-he had a tiny taste
Jack with his 'vamilla' ice-cream
