Melbourne Cup Day

Last week in Melbourne it was Cup Week. Lots of people take off from work, get all dressed up and go to the races. Tuesday was a public holiday, so Mama and Daddy and Jackson invited Granma and Lili around for a BBQ! Granma brought some lovely wine and champagne and Lili made a beautiful pavlova from scratch.

Then we did an old tradition of Lili and Daddy's: we drew horse names for the big race! The winner got our pool of $25, while the loser had to change Jackson's nappy!

Lili's horse won the race, but Granma's horse came in last!

After the race, we all went for a walk on Williamstown seafront and looked at the boats and Melbourne skyline.
