Big Day Out

Big Thanks to Oma Ali and Opa John for looking after the kids so we could go to the Big Day Out this year.  Highlights were Shihad, Ramstein, and the Bloody Beetroots in the Boiler Room.  We went with Karen's cousin Delia and her husband Jonah, and his sister Shannon and her girlfriend Josephine.

 Karen made some new friends

 and Phil made some new friends too.

 It rained a bit in the afternoon, but we managed not to get too wet...

 At the end of Ramstein huge cannons shot smoke into the air and blew confetti out over the crowd as fireworks went off.  The coloured lights shone through the tiny bits of paper and it looked a bit like Christmas in the park in New York :-)

We spent a bit of time in the silent disco.  There are two DJs playing different music, you can choose which one you hear by changing the channel on the headphones so some of the people are dancing to one kind of music and some are dancing to something different.  From outside you can see all the people dancing but you can't hear anything.
