Girls day out




Our last day in Brisbane we spent visiting the Museum and the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA), which were both fantastic and had heaps of activities for the girls to keep them busy. They were transfixed for the half hour 'show' on liquid nitrogen - so were Mum and I. Who knew that liquid nitrogen could be so entertaining! The presentation was lots of fun and full of facts - which they were both able to recall afterwards, so it proves the point that a love for (or at least an interest in) science can easily be developed early. Both the girls managed to create their own inventions, complete numerous crafts and managed to fill our backpacks with them before we had lunch and headed over to GoMA.
There were lots of interesting things for the girls in GoMA too, and Mum and I had to drag them away in the end, but we were running out of time to fit in a trip to the park at Southbank before catching our bus home...just in time before it started to rain.
A great day, and something that we look forward to when we head down for our school holiday visits - thanks for joining us Nanna, and for being a packhorse for all of our lunch and craft throughout the day - it wouldn't have been the same without you!
