Back from Brisbane a little worse for wear, we had a slow trip this time, more stops, more traffic, generally things seemed to drag especially on the way back gettting out of the city was a so tedious, I have forgotten what peak hour can be like. So it took 7 hours to get home yesterday and we are all tired and Cy seems to have picked up a tummy bug.......
But the good new is Wow the podiatrist is stoked with both boys progress since seeing her 3 months ago ! She measured the boys hip, knee and ankle flexability and they had all improved - (both boys are hyper mobile)- Cy is even in the normal range now - an improvement of between 20 and 30 degrees. He still needs to wear his night splint but there has also been big improvement in his reflexes in his right foot.
She is very happy with the way Owen is using his legs and body overall and she can see he is engaging the right muscles to do the job - which means he will develop as normal-a-gait as possible this is important as it reduces the wear and tear on the joints which means he can stay active as a adult.
Mr Cheese is so excited about catching a real train
Owey eventually won us over and we got him out of the stroller, by the time the train arrived he had made friends with everyone on the platform, waving, blowing kisses and being cute
So we get off at the Museum stop, to see a huge sign draped over the building CLOSED for Reno's ptbbbbbbtttttt.
The cosy little BandB we stayed at was perfect and we manged to relax and enjoy it, in 4 months time we have to back to the podiatrist it will be Febuary and Stink'n hot in Brisbane by then so another visit to the water park will be on the agenda, for sure.

Anyway we had a great time in Brisbane both boys LOVE trains so rather than drive into Museum we decided to go in by train
Waiting at the station

So we strolled along for a while and found this fantastic water park, we didn't bring bathers but that didn't stop us, or the other 3 families that striped our kids and let them run round exploring (I mean cause really, their clothes would have got wet otherwise - you just can't keep the kids out of this water park) and the boys thought it was fantastic.
Then we had some lunch and the boys found this little car out the front of a lollie shop. 
I couldn't help but put $2 in 
Then it was back to the train station but poor little Owey had crashed by the time we got to the platform

Love that first picture of Cy, what a cutie! And Owey has the BEST hair, its just so wavy and beautiful!! Looks like it was a fun trip overall...Although the seven hour drive must have been dreadful...Its funny how just driving can be so exhausting!! Glad the appointments went so well too :)
