What the? How did that happen? I thought we were going for a big trip and yet all of a sudden there is only one day left!!!!
Holidays go way too fast 🙁
Sorry about no blog yesterday, but there really wasn’t much to talk about. The first day we pretty much did…. well… nothing! Oh and it was fantastic! The kids spent their day exploring the park, the jumping pillow and the multiple play grounds while we sat and relaxed.
Obviously there was a very intense game of badminton between the boys and the girls, but that was ended by the lure of a cheese platter and a couple of bottles of red wine 😉 Badminton was a huge success and I think we got our $7 worth out of it right up until some girl rode her bike through the net in the dark trying to cut through our campsite… busted a pole but luckily Mark and I were able to fix it with some old tent pegs and insulation tape. The young girl escaped with a bruised ego, very embarrassed and probably won’t cut corners in the dark again.
Yesterday was a better day, started with some yummy omelets for breakfast before Mark and I shot into town for a quick restock.
Weather was a little warmer and we were finally able to break out the tank tops. Was beautiful in the sun, although every now and then the wind would swing to the south and it was like standing in the freezer section at the supermarket…. Coles of course!!
The afternoon was spent down at the river. Was a little too cold for the eldest girls who sat in the beach chairs to watch the rest of us have fun. Water in the river was a little cold, although nothing on what the ocean felt like. Mark and I took the big boys for a walk to see the ocean and play in the waves. Kids being kids went straight in, but Mark and I were a little more hesitant… oh my god was that water cold!!
Zac lured me into the water about waist high to fight the waves, but my body quickly went numb and we retreated to the warmth of the river which suddenly felt like someone had run us a nice warm bath!
We built a small sandcastle before giving up and simply dug a trench to bring the river to the girls. Sand wasn’t that good near the river, although Zac and Matty made a new friend with a little blue sand crab that was great for scaring little sisters.
Well that was pretty much it yesterday. Been a pretty lazy trip so far, and while the weather hasn’t been perfect it hasn’t been too bad either. Of course that could all change in the next 10 minutes as there is definitely a storm on the horizon and rain on the radar… Had better go and batten down the hatches and pray it passes quickly… I’m sure it will.
Will try to get one more blog in for this trip… will see how we go.
Have fun 🙂
PS – Might have to get some photos on here today, we have been a little lazy this time round (if you hadn’t guessed!!
