It was a good day...

A few weeks ago we decided to take the boys to Questacon. It was a good day to go because they were doing a Dinosaur Puppet Show that day. I took the worst pictures for it cause you can hardly see the anything in the pic's above. The kids enjoyed it. They gave everyone a chance to go up and talk to the puppets after the show and Teagan wouldn't dare. He is not a risk-taker. Tate never thinks twice about doing anything... which is good and bad at times. He wasn't giving the puppets any sort of a smile and he wouldn't respond to them when they spoke to him, but he was very excited to go see them. He was just giving them "that stare down" you see in the top pics.

After we left Questacon we walked around. Just across the street is the Australian National Library. It is a very large building (that has nothing inside for kids to do), but the kids enjoy running around outside because of the water fountains. You can see we went on one of the better/warmer days. It's been so cold here that last week. It's been in the 20's and 30's. Brrrrrr! I can't wait for it to warm up (but not excited for it to warm up for the spiders to come out and play).

Side Track: On that note, I'm happy to say that when we got our first electric and gas bill (per my previous post about costs), it was only 1/3 of what other people in our ward's bills were. For both, it averaged about $200/mo for gas/electric. So, we were very conservative! But, it was also fall and wasn't too hot or too cold for most of the time and we dried our clothes on the line 90% of the time and didn't turn the heater on hardly at all. I don't know if I can say that since it's been in the 20's and 30's more consistently as of recent. So we will see what are next bill is like... that one is going to be the kicker.
