Sydney Trip - Day 2

Well our first night in Sydney was great... Jade went to sleep really easily on her big bed (apparently it's a queen - but I'm sure these beds are doubles)...  in the morning I went to check on her and she just had her care bears doona over her - so I put her polar fleece blanket over her as well - just to try to keep her asleep as long as possible... she finally emerged about 7:30 - which is late for her....

About 9am we headed off to Westfield Miranda to see if we could find more Bonds stretchies... and we did... yay!!!  we bought some for Blake (and got some for Tiny too!)...  ahh - I love bonds... (just not the "not so" easy suits)...

After we'd finished shopping - we headed off to Cronulla in hope of running into Mark and Bethia (and entourage) at the beach, but when we got there we found that the information we'd been given was incorrect and they were at another beach....  but that's ok - we packed the kids back into the car and headed off to Gymea to meet up with everyone for lunch....

(and yes, this was simply me going "Jade - can I get a photo of you in your sunnies?" - and she starts posing....)

Up on Dad's shoulders....

These rocks were in a big circle around the one area at Cronulla, Jade was having fun walking/jumping from one to the next... all holding onto Rob's hand so that she didn't have any chance of falling....

Blake entertaining himself while Jade was "rock climbing"


Lunch was at Hazelhurst Regional Gallery and Art Centre....

Tiny cuteness!

Jade & Tom finally stopped running around to just play on the grass
(Tom's got the real "model" pose happening this time....)

After lunch we headed back to the van park in hope of getting the kids to have a sleep...  that theory was short lived - Olivia came over to visit when she saw that Jade was back and Blake was all good for getting peoples attention.....

We went to the local RSL to have dinner with Rob's dad tonight, it was great.. and Jade was all excited about walking there and back...  this caravan park is definitely well situated...

Plan for tomorrow is that we're having breakfast with Angela, Bethia & Fam... then we're off to visit Shane, Jo & Amelia - and Shane's parents are coming over there too... so tomorrow is going to be a great day too!  (here's hoping Blake gets a bit more sleep and we'll all be happy!)

Stay tuned.....
