What Matters Most

The past week or so has given me cause for reflection about what matters most.  I realise that no matter what we have (material possessions) nothing is more important than our relationships with our family and other people.

Recently we decided to have a family weekend and so on Friday and Saturday we spent the time together as a family and just enjoyed each other's company. We had a great time.

On Friday we started out by going to Wings Wildlife Park.



We got there just in time to see the Tassie Devil's being fed and Darcey got to pat one.  She loves animals.  This baby devil was kinda cute and very tame.  It really didn't mind being patted.  Love the sunglasses and so does Darcey



I know what it says on this sign and even though they sound quite ferocious at times they really are quite docile.  These guys were anxiously waiting for their food.


There were lots of animals there including this little guy - A quoll.


Eric was happy to just go along for the ride........


and chips......


and ice cream......


and to top  it off he enjoyed a baby wipe........
(don't know why he likes sucking them, he just does)


while Darcey enjoy a pizza.
(she enjoyed chewing baby wipes when she was Eric's age so it must be in the genes)


It was nice to just sit around and chat and eat.......




After we had lunch Darcey was really excited to see the Koala.




 Very cute and cuddly and, not to mention, sleepy


It's such a tough life being a Koala.  Sitting in a tree, eating leaves and sleeping.


The kangaroos were very friendly and Darcey loved feeding them.


The baby joey was so cute.  Darcey had us all laughing when she saw the joey and said "I'll get it" and tried to grab the joey out of the mother's pouch.   Fortunately we are quicker than her because I don't think that mum was too impressed at someone trying to grab her baby.  She was just trying to be kind.  gotta love her.


Soooooo  Cute!!


Not only did Darcey enjoy feeding the kangaroo's but the big kids did too.....


Ryan was a big hit with the kangaroos - I think that they actually liked him and didn't want to let him go



These guys had their eyes on us.



And this goat was just desperate to get a feed.



Almost time to go home so Lisa and I decided to put our feet up.......




....in typical Lisa fashion she couldn't resist taking a few shots.









And for Eric it was all to much........


It was great to be able to spend a fun day together because Family really is what matters most.
