After our atrocious Shrekfast experience we ended up (at the suggestion of the Shrekfest MC) at Paradise Garden, inside the Holiday Inn, part of the Sands Casino Complex on Cotai Strip in Macau. We arrived at the garden in an attempt to get a photo of Mitchell with a Madagascar penguin. If we had known this … Continue reading
Should I be scared? The task for her homework was to “look around your bedroom, make a claim about something in your room, back it up with evidence and then pose a question to consider in relation to the claim.” Money and fashion … EEEK … watch out boys, you’ve had fair warning of what … Continue reading

Maybe he wasn’t mature enough, maybe we expected him to be too much like his sister … or maybe he just hates skiing. There were all things we considered but we wanted to give him another opportunity.
