Yes, we were advertised into a trip to McDonalds for the special games on offer.
I was in the mood for something good to eat, but no it was off to fried and plastic for the minature trivial pursuits game.
Success to those advertisers.

Come Out
Well it may sound like it, but it isn't a gay festival, it is a festival for children in Adelaide.
I had the privelege to see a range of performances from:
Children's Cheering Carpet, a co-production betweeen Italy and Australia using incredible lighting sensors, on a journey from bush to city.
Freaky, a terrific collaboration between Circus Monoxide and Cirkidz in SA. A combination of budding circus performers,matched with the experience and drama of Circus Monoxide. It was a high energy, engaging performance, which beautifully used the burgeoning skills of the Cirkidz crew with the Monoxide performers.
Explosion Therapy, by Terrapin Puppet Theatre, just like the name says, an Explosion of "stuff". Really creative and interesting use of lighting and movement, creating something 2 dimensional and cartoonish from 3D life.
In a way this was similiar to The 2 Dimensional Life of Her by Fleur Elise, a work in progress where Elise is actually working on film and animation. The premise being an artist's process in a studio canvass. Again interesting use of lights, cartooning, special effects.
Come out produced a new work Books & Bits, which was a great quiz style romp through children's books. Fabulous seeing and hearing the reaction and interaction of the kids with the authors.
Plop by Windmill, was of course a beautifully rendered piece of work, geared for 1-4 years.
Boats by Terrapin was a great piece of theatre and clever use of puppets and imagery.
So in all a great selection and range of performances. I wish I had bought my daugher with me!

Off with her head
Obviously a day at Questacon was not the dream of most mother's on her special day.
They had a special offer with Mothers admitted free last Sunday. So as a treat for me, my daugher Arran took me along and banished Dad.
Questacon is the most fantastic place and in fact, I could have spent much longer there and will definitely go back for another visit, with or without our heads.

mixed bag
Well it was a day of varied experiences, from childrens theatre, the Little Mermaid in chamber concert mode at the Opera House, through to another kids show by Patch Theatre, starring the big bad wolf?
and then to the electronic sounds of Triad, sitting on the floor of the Don't Look Now Gallery in Dulwich Hill and in between the torrential rain.
Now cleaning out the soaked rabbit straw.
