Easter Monday – Home day

Posted by on April 1, 2013

OMG quick, jump out of bed, it is time to go home. Gotta get the van packed… how the hell did we manage to spread ourselves so much? Quick kids, eat your breakfast…. hurray up we gotta get on the road… shower time, race race race… now get the van on the car and let’s go…. check out is always so early in a caravan park….

Well at least that is normally what happens on pack up day… but not today 🙂

As this caravan park has a 5 night minimum over Easter, we are paid up for another night, so we got all day!!! Would seem my fellow travelers are taking advantage of this policy as well given it is 10am, I have only just got out of bed, Fi’s still asleep and not much sound from the caravan next door!!!

This is the way to end a trip 🙂

Yesterday was a great day spent again around the caravan park and maybe a little bit of chocolate was consumed… followed by maybe a little more!

Rained for most of the morning, but it was a misty rain that really wasn’t too much bother, and by early arvo had pretty much cleared up, although was very cold all day. About 5pm, an announcement went over the PA calling all the children in the caravan park to the recreation room… the Great Windmill Big 4 Easter Egg Hunt was about to begin…

Was only about 10 minutes later that we saw the kids emerge, each with a bag in hand, and with about 2500 eggs hidden around the park, there was plenty for all. Tara wandered up saying she hadn’t managed to find any, so it was the Dad’s to the rescue with a few “special eggs” suddenly appearing hidden around the campsite.

The Big 4 staff were also on hand to make sure no one missed out…

“I’ve found eight eggs” exclaimed Zac to the Big 4 man

“Really?” the Big 4 man said “show me…” and as he peered into Zac’s loot bag there were suddenly a lot more than eight!!!

“You can’t count!” said the Big 4 man “that looks like a lot more than eight??”

“But…but…err…umm…I can count…huh….what the???” spluttered Zac in astonishment.

As Zac again counted his bounty it was more like 20!!!

Was great fun and the kids all had a ball, and more chocolate than they could eat…. like we needed that!

After the great hunt, it was off to the showers for the kids while Mark and I cooked up the nightly feast on the BBQ. Then the girls head off again to the recreation room to watch Bolt on the big screen.

All were very tired after the movie, and it was straight to bed. A great Chocolate filled Easter Sunday.

Anyway, I can see Mark has emerged from his Van with two pancake shakers in his hand, so I guess I had better go get started on the final day breakfast feast… will be pancakes on one BBQ while we cook Bacon and Eggs on the other… As a I said, a much calmer and relaxing way to wake on the final day…

So that’s it for this trip, but come back soon because it is only a couple more weeks until Mark and I take Zac and Matty out for a Boys 4WD and Swagging adventure… let’s hope it won’t be so expensive this time!!!

PS – Don’t give up yet, but I am still working on getting Aunty Kate to post her photos of Kyral Castle… hint hint Kate!
