Not really...don't go and consult your English -> French dictionaries. lol. Yesterday, Eme and I went along to
Nuffnang's Yoplait Blogger day out, and we had a lovely time. My sister and nephew came along too, and thankfully she drove because I had no idea where I was! A banner at the entrance of Neilsen Park in Vaucluse told us we'd found the right location...the most gorgeous park right on Sydney Harbour. Cameron started shouting "balloon! balloon!" and sure enough there was! A path bordered by stunning Moreton Bay figs lined with red and white helium balloons led the way. As we got closer, Eme noticed the balloon bunches were tied to tubs of
Yoplait yoghurt! Very clever...
We were greeted at the
White Pavilion by the lovely Nuffnang staff and given a great bag with a Yoplait picnic blanket, hat and frisbee inside. Yesterday was the perfect day for a picnic, and the grassed hill beside the pavilion offered the perfect view of the water. Eme had different ideas though...she spied the plaster craft stand and she was off! Out of all of the choices available, she made a beeline for the plaster kitties in a basket (of course!). She then picked out a "love" sign and set to work painting that one too! I'm sure she would have sat there all day if I'd let her. Next up, she made friends with the girls at the bead making stand, making a colourful necklace for herself and a bracelet for both her and I.
What's a great day out, without balloons??! The balloon artist was so clever, whipping up flowers, swords, animals and hats for all the
big kids. Meanwhile, Cami had fun running around the pavilion and playing outside kicking a ball around...and painting too, especially Beth's top. lol.
The Nuffnang team thought of everything. I'm pretty sure yesterday was the equivalent of the best day ever for Emeline. She asked the face painter to decorate her face with a colourful butterfly, and she sat there so patiently while the painter got to work...adding pretty frangipanis to the butterfly to match her headband.
I was next, and had some orange blossoms painted across my face (to match my outfit of course!). Unfortunately it got a bit smudged by my balloon hat. lol. I love face painting! I even had a face painter at my 30th birthday...might have to have another one for my 40th in a couple of years...
We were treated to plenty of Yoplait yoghurt, french crepes and a great lunch bag with baguette, croissant and fruit. Perfect. Eme practically inhaled a tub of vanilla yoghurt, bar one spoonful that she allowed me to taste...it was delicious and there were actual vanilla seeds in there. The blackberry flavour was yum too!
All too soon, it was time to head home, back along the balloon lined path...with Eme pushing Cameron's pram all the way. A big thanks to Nuffnang and Yoplait for a great day out! Their advertising must have worked, because Eme put Yoplait in the shopping trolley today. I don't mind...it's tasty and healthy, and a good serve of dairy for the school lunch box. Who said children weren't susceptible to good marketing?
