We had a nice day yesterday.  The day of my daughter's Kung Fu demonstration at one of the city movie cinemas was finally here.  It was meant to be in honour of the opening of the movie Kung Fu Panda but was really badly organised so actually coincided with the movie start time so a) nobody coming to watch the movie actually watched the demo and b) the kids didn't get to go to the movie afterwards as it was too long to wait until the next session. 

The kids had a great time and didn't seem to click that the majority of their "audience" were actually family and friends who had been dragged along for the occasion.  Their teacher (who is very much like a big kid himself!) was also very pleased with how it all went and offered to take the kids all out to McDonalds for lunch afterwards. 

We all (ie, kids, instructors and parents) went and invaded Darling Harbour McDonalds and all the kids got a Happy Meal and a Kung Fu Panda viper so they were happy.  Afterwards, a few of us went over to the playground and hung out there for an hour or so.  It is a really nice playground and was a beautiful day for it.  My one (minor) problem with it is all the water features around the place.  These are like a magnet to my son who of course managed to get himself a bit wet (although not absolutely soaking like he did last time we went to Manly corso!).  One the way home, we passed another group of Kung Fu students doing their training in the park.  The kids enjoyed watching this as it was quite a different style of Kung Fu to what they do.  All in all it was a very fun day. 

Here are a couple of photos I took at Darling Harbour (I can't post any of the Kung Fu demo photos as they have other people's kids in them):
