Lucas is having an absolute ball with his cousins here in Brisbane, and they all love him and their uncle Brian too..
This morning Lucas showed off his music skills on the electronic piano.. He definitely shows lots of potential..
So after the girls headed to school in the morning, we decided to spend the day shopping, firstly hitting DFO in Jindalee.. We arrived just before 10am, however 3/4 of the shops were still closed, despite the sign outside saying it was open from 9am.. How disappointing.. So we walked around a couple of times, checking out the stores.. In the end, Brian was the only one who had purchased anything there for the day as we headed to Inala for lunch..
Boy was it hot!! I mean, 42 degrees in Adelaide is definitely hot but still bearable as it's also dry, but here in Brissie, it's only around 32, but the humidity just saps all the energy from you..
Anyway, we ended up getting Vietnamese (yes, we love Vietnamese food!) and also bubble tea.. Inala Town Centre is such a weird place - they have a smallish shopping mall and then when you walk out into the centre and it feels like you've literally stepped into a small Vietnamese town or something.. There's people playing checkers, open food stalls, vegetables for sale out the front of the shops, fresh sugar cane juice etc.. We didn't hang around there for long since we were dying from the heat, so after having lunch and purchasing another bubble tea for the road, we started heading back to my sister's place..
Well, we got suckered in by another shopping mall we saw while driving back - Mt. Ommaney.. So we spent another hour just having a look around before getting back home to catch up with the kids again and more scooter riding..
Lucas has also been trying very hard to walk.. It's amazing to see how much he's learning these past couple of days.. He can now stand up without support and walk at least 3 steps..
