Astrofest is here again... and Kevin, having volunteered to help out, went early to Curtin University to help set up the booths and other stuff...
the makeshift planetarium...
Then it was just a matter of waiting for the guests to arrive.... and arrive they did - in droves!
We expected about a thousand or so people based on the numbers that pre-registered for the event, but as it turned out, more than three thousand came!
Then it was time for Agnes and Jacynth to arrive, after Jacynth's regular beauty sleep in the afternoons. Here they are queuing up for the planetarium show...
When it was almost their turn, Agnes transferred Jacynth into the sling so that it would be easier to carry the very wriggly little one. Once in the planetarium, Agnes chose to sit just next to the exit just in case she had to make a dash if Jacynth started to be cranky. Not long after she made herself comfortable in the small space that could accommodate only about 30 people (on the floor), she realized something was amiss. There was no sound (or wriggles) coming from Jacynth. That's when Agnes discovered (to her surprise!) that she was asleep! Well, credit to the thumb... and this kind of good fortune seldom comes to us... ;D
She woke up soon after they came out of the planetarium though. After that, Jacynth was drunk from feeding and fell asleep again! Or maybe astronomy's too boring for her.... :P
It was good that she was sleeping though, which meant Agnes and her could hang around while Kevin helped to pack things up...
