A FAMILY TRIP TO MASTERS

Sarah has never been to Masters, so we decided to all take a trip to Masters together as a family to show her around....  Steve and I often go there on a Sunday after church... We especially love browsing around the garden section, and  have bought quite a few containers from here to set up our herb gardens...

Today they had some gorgeous flowers that I just had to photograph...

The most amazing hibiscus... the flowers were so bright...

 Lots of pansies and petunias.....
Just made me want to buy some and plant them at home...
Really want a garden of sweetpeas also....

Love the colours of some of these pansies.

 Checking out all the hibiscus..

Beautiful flowers

A little touch of tropical

 Willow took a shine to all the water features and had fun running her hand through the water...
She would head back to them all the time...

 At some stage we want to do up an area just outside our front door.  We would just like to make it a nice area where we can relax over a cuppa together.  One of the things I would like in there is a water feature... I just find the sound of water quite soothing..  Here are some of the water features that took my fancy...

 Some more of the beautiful flowers we saw...

Magnificent colour...

 Just had to snap these photos of Willow...  She took a shine to this little set of wood blocks and was climbing and sitting all over them  We figured she was worth much more than $79.  She is priceless to us....

Best bargain around

 We went inside and there was a lovely display of orchids...
Just gorgeous.  My mother in law has some beautiful orchids.  I am not a good gardener but  I love these beautiful flowers...

Gorgeous orchids. 

 The had some lovely maiden hair ferns and begonias also...

 Whilst we were wandering around looking at all the different sections in Masters, Willow found this little cart to push.  She was having a ball with it wandering up and down all the aisles.

Such a little shopper....

 Chloe was enjoying having some Aunty/Niece time too, and enjoyed carting Willow around..

 Sarah found a few things that she really loved, like this little seat with the baskets underneath.
This would look great at her front door, and she was really tempted.   I think if we were in Brissie she probably would have bought it.  Getting it home would be a problem.  Still we did photograph it so that when she goes home she can go see if she can find one. 

Some of the furniture that caught Sarah's eye. 

 After pushing the little green cart around the aisles, she found this little trolley.  There was no taking it off her,  she felt so grown up and was happy to follow us around pushing it.  We even had to put some gear it it for her to wheel to the checkout.

 it was a fun day out.  We have so enjoyed having time all today these past couple of months... This was our last full weekend with Sarah.  She heads off to have some time with Colin's folks for the next month.  They are keen to spend some time with Willow and get to know her a bit more also...
How could we deny them that, but heck we will really miss our precious girls...

Fun looking at furniture at Masters.  

We just need to try and squeeze a trip to Bunnings in  tomorrow  before Sarah heads off...  She is her father's daughter.  They both love wandering around Bunnings and could spend hours there.....
