Blackbutt Reserve

We decided to have a family day out on Saturday and head over to Blackbutt Reserve in Newcastle, NSW. Blackbutt Reserve has a bunch of different walking trails, picnic areas, a native animal wildlife walk and a great playground for the kids.







































Once we arrived we decided to go on the wildlife walk and look at all the animals. I wasn't expecting a lot considering it is free, but it was great and Lachlan loved it. We saw many different animals including koalas, birds, snakes, kangaroos, wombats and lizards.









































Next we headed off on a 2.4km walk, even though Lachlan insisted we run.


























Unfortunately Lachlan hasn't yet learnt how to control his downhill running.








































After cleaning up his cut, we headed to the playground.

























Did I mention that he loves music? If he has an opportunity to play an instrument, he will take it. If any other child decides they would like a turn of the instrument, you can bet he won't give it up easily.  I am sure as soon as he is old enough he will insist on guitar and drum lessons.



Its the simple things in life...



After we had finished at the Reserve, we made a stop for lunch and visited the pet shop before heading home. We will definitely be back!
