Aunty Karen Rocks.

Something the kids will always remember is their visit to the Winter Wonderland at the Docks, where Ethan made a new friend: Steffi (pictured with icecream).

Fiona trapped in Ethan’s Dragon Trap while Lucinda creates a pasta hurricane

While Fiona was captured as a fearsome Girl Dragon in the elaborate dragon trap, the cute, but formidable, baby beast Lucinda successfully opened a packet of pasta (something Girl Dragons struggle with on a normal day), and stuffed baby fistfuls of raw pasta into her mouth while kicking the rest around the kitchen floor. Girl Dragon was trapped. It was left to SuperBoy Ethan to save the day…
