I can't remember what zoo we went to when we visited down your way but we were lucky enough to pat a Tassie devil which was pretty cool even for the adults. I have to say that emus scare me, if I see one I go in the opposite direction. Thanks for sharing you zoo visit with us. xxCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11314373295390794669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004458534993714527.post-19771050451986435942013-03-19T12:49:22.766+11:002013-03-19T12:49:22.766+11:00I've never been to zoodoo (Tasmanian native fa...I've never been to zoodoo (Tasmanian native fail!)<br />The emus would freak me out<br />(as would 9 children!!)<br />xallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009232448247160974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004458534993714527.post-2470341665778247282013-03-19T08:53:01.414+11:002013-03-19T08:53:01.414+11:00A lovely family catch up. and a great idea of visi...A lovely family catch up. and a great idea of visiting the zoo.<br />xZarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09577592390723365734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004458534993714527.post-49086451247632935652013-03-19T08:08:43.539+11:002013-03-19T08:08:43.539+11:00a literal zoo!a literal zoo!momto8https://www.blogger.com/profile/13964950285763339907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004458534993714527.post-75820322680261517132013-03-19T06:46:56.179+11:002013-03-19T06:46:56.179+11:00That place looks like so much fun!

Pity they couldn't stay longer but they drove all the way from NSW and did a bit of camping around Tassie too so time was pretty limited this time around. They all just slept on the floor in the bedroom so that was fine x Mel @ Coal Valley Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00773581188651200076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004458534993714527.post-56463065239363796752013-03-18T16:54:25.814+11:002013-03-18T16:54:25.814+11:00She was more than OK Jay - she's the eldest an...She was more than OK Jay - she's the eldest and I think she enjoys all the attention from the boys :-)Mel @ Coal Valley Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00773581188651200076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004458534993714527.post-78473976442261405132013-03-18T16:53:01.287+11:002013-03-18T16:53:01.287+11:00Those sharp claws would be a little too close for ...Those sharp claws would be a little too close for comfort for some men but he didn't bat an eyelid :-)Mel @ Coal Valley Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00773581188651200076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004458534993714527.post-87608955516879299212013-03-18T16:06:24.823+11:002013-03-18T16:06:24.823+11:00i saw your girl wearing her sweater, SO cute! oh m...i saw your girl wearing her sweater, SO cute! oh my oh my that is a LOT of kids, so fun and exciting. and i know exactly what you mean about it being all relative, my sister would come over with her 3, my best friend with her 4 and then my 5, wheee! when everyone went home it felt 'quiet'. :)Lori annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02860428306713379828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004458534993714527.post-30458241583792750832013-03-18T13:25:36.991+11:002013-03-18T13:25:36.991+11:00That's so many children!

How sad.<br /><br />Love the two sets of twins. Isn't that a coincidence. My tills would totally empathise with Eleanor, when its me, my sister and my cousin together, it's tills and 9 boys.
