Party time. Probably the biggest street party Brisbane has ever seen is on tomorrow and did I score a golden entry ticket? No, I did not. I will not be one of the thousands on the Story Bridge tomorrow to mark the bridge's 75th birthday. But today I was partying under the bridge. The Little Red Riding Hood season finished today and the cast and crew after party was in the park under the bridge, a very short walk from the theatre. My contribution was cocktail frankfurters, proving I am a serial under-achiever. Okay, some parents sent a packet of chips but then there were the cakes. My goodness, some families clearly have talent streaks that go way beyond the stage. Still, no-one was afraid to cut or take the first bite of frankfurters which makes me a bit of a winner. And with the food and speeches over the kids did what kids do. They hit the playground equipment. Their joy was obvious to everyone so much so that a woman walking a dog stopped to comment on how good it was to see young people enjoying good old fashioned screen-free fun. I could say they even managed to spend the afternoon without recording the moment with a selfie (but not without lying). Well if my face was on a cake instead of the cake being on my face, I'd be taking a selfie too.
This is where I was going to take a photo a day in 2012 but forgot to stop. I also write something random to give you an insight into the craziness that is Susan's mind.

Looks like plenty of fun under the bridge and what an impressive structure it is. Awesome cake making from someone, that would put a smile on any kids face! Thank you for sharing on Country Kids.
