The Gift of Light
Last night was The Gift of Light, a big community celebration that's part of the Light in Winter Festival that Daddy produces.
The Gift of Light was to celebrate the winter solstice with fun multicultural performances and art.
It started with Daddy lighting a fire (that will burn constantly for 15 days) and an Aboriginal dance and invocation.
We had fun dancing to and watching musical performances.
Vicky and James also joined us, and took Jackson to check out "Daddy's lights" (see previous post) again, and they all had fun running around together.
We also ran into Peter (who runs the garden centre in Lili's neighbourhood and who's helped us a lot with getting started in our garden) and his family.
Congratulations, Daddy, on a job well done!

Busy Sunday
We had a fun and busy day yesterday. Mama and Jackson met Granma and Lili at Federation Square, where Daddy works.
We got to see the light and sound installation, Volume, that Daddy has been working so hard to get up and running (Daddy's office is the silver building in the background).
Then we walked over to the aquarium, where we saw the new penguin exhibit and ate some chips.
After that, Mama and Granma got to hear a talk about the Daddy's work, and then we all got to have drinks and nibbles and meet the installation artists at a function Daddy also organised.

More Animal Fun
Mama, Lili and Jackson decided to go to the Melbourne Zoo a couple of Saturdays ago! We only had a little bit of time, but we got to see elephants, giraffes, tigers, gorillas, and butteflies.
Jackson had fun weighing himself on this big old scale.
Then last weekend, Mama and Vicky and Jackson decided it would be fun to take a little road trip while Daddy works round the clock on his festival and James went to the football. We went to the Healesville Wildlife Sanctuary, where we had lunch.
We saw tasmanian devils (which are NOT extinct, Vicky!), pelicans, kangaroos, lots of birds and lizards, some ibises, platypuses, koalas, and wallabies.

Animal Days
Every Tuesday, Lili and Jackson enjoy going to "Animal Day" at the Prahran Market near Lili's house.
Afterwards, they will usually have some nice fresh chips and sauce.
And Jackson gets to ride on one of his favourite rides!
