Mum and Dad started the day with another yummy breakfast made by Russell, this time pancakes with fruit and maple syrup! Today we walked along the famous Busselton Jetty, it took a while since its 2km long! Although I often fall to sleep during bumpy pram rides, I managed to stay awake during the rough ride along the old wooden sleepers all the along the jetty and back. There's an Underwater Observatory at the end of the Jetty but Mum said we'll come back to see it when I'm a bigger boy.
For lunch, the Mums and Dads ate burgers beside the beach followed by Simmo's icecreams. When we got home, Hilary, Sarina and Sam arrived from Perth. They brought Sam's dog Dudley, he's a very well trained dog who puts Molly to shame! Doodad (Russell and Karen's big grey cat with enormously long whiskers) wasn't impressed with the arrival of Dudley and made himself scarce during Dudley's stay.
The reason for all the visitors (including us) was to attend the matinee session of the play "Deadly Record" in which Russell was starring in the lead role at the Busselton Repertory Theatre. I spent the first half of the 4pm matinee on Sarina's knee and then being fed by Mum. I was in a very good mood and made a few little happy noises just to let everyone know. At half time we all had a breather, then Dad spent the second half in the entry hall (where he could still see the stage) pushing me in my pram, showing me my toys, pushing in my dummy, re-pushing in my dummy and anything else he could think of to keep me as quiet as possible. That's no mean feat when I'm in such a good mood and like to tell everyone who will listen. I didn't know it was a murder mystery, I just thought there were some quiet moments which needed to be filled!
The adults all ordered Thai takeaway for dinner. From my bed in Karen's study I could smell the nice food and hear the conversation as it got louder throughout the evening following the consumption of bottles of wine and later Jack Daniels!
