Do children have nightmares about the big rocking horse coming to get them?<br /><br />The BIG trout was pretty cool. Coming from an outdoorsy kind of state (where I stay indoors as much as possible) seeing a bigger-than-life fish isn't too scary.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07980461113595763030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-58514493665365082592010-06-24T13:55:05.003+09:302010-06-24T13:55:05.003+09:30I live about eight minutes from Los Angeles Intern...I live about eight minutes from Los Angeles International Airport.

At least the BIG rocking horse is slick! My favourite visit to the BIG rocking horse was one summer when the whole thing was covered in ladybugs. What a sight! Oh! And for the commenter who said she might come to Australia, but wouldn't seek them out, impossible!!! If you drive from place to place, you will see them!Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02611233587655427186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-50694899055216997922010-06-23T17:11:05.382+09:302010-06-23T17:11:05.382+09:30....and there is always the BIG Galah (Kimba) that.......and there is always the BIG Galah (Kimba) that I used to drive past when I went home to visit from time to time....the big galah sort of fits in with who I am...LOLOLLorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464945754300570558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-41370997290503758142010-06-23T10:29:09.103+09:302010-06-23T10:29:09.103+09:30That koala cracked me up!

I kept having to go back and look at it.<br /><br />When I was a kid, I was awed by the gas station (can't recall which chain of gas stations that was now) that had the giant dinosaur as its mascot. It was huge, and terrified me (I've since learned it was one of those vegetarian type dinosaurs, so the only danger I would have been in had it been real was from being stepped on, or standing under it at the wrong time).GaAmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645536686358270199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-31039698156997774492010-06-23T10:14:27.530+09:302010-06-23T10:14:27.530+09:30I thought I could compete, I really did.

I was in awe. You Aussie's are something else. And you get the great accents, too. And DavidThorne. Hey, did you run into my friend's son yet? He's in Adelaide now. At a "cute little hostel"?? And he's not feeling so hot-guess he has a cold from camping out in swag or some such thing. Actually that was this morning so maybe he is gone. Anyhow.
