Sunshine Coast Holiday - Day 4

Yesterday was great.... we did NOTHING..... we went shopping to get Jade some dive sticks... and then when Blake went down for his afternoon sleep - Rob took Jade to the movies. ... her first ever time...

She went to see "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs" - she just saw the standard version as we didn't believe she'd enjoy the 3D version.....

When smack got home from the Wedding Rehearsal - we spent the afternoon writing his speech... so he's all prepared for the big day today...

Nothing really to report... and I didn't even take any photos.....so slack! :)

Sunshine Coast Holiday - Day 3 - Back at the apartment...

We got back to the apartment at about 3pm..... I decided to try to get a pic of the kids in their matching shorts.....

if you look closely, you can see that there's something in Blake's mouth.... he made a funny noise - and I realised that it was a lid off a pump bottle.....

and this is the moment when I realised and nearly dropped the camera to reef it out of Blake's mouth before it was down his throat....

Happy now, in the pool....

kick, kick, kick......

These are Jade's other goggles... she has one pair for Mom and Dad's place and one pair for swimming - and somehow we ended up with both of them on holidays... although these definitely fit better....

Chris & Smack.... Everyone was diving for objects...

Blake was back into crawling around the outside of the pool.... you would have thought he would have been put off by falling in the day before...but no... (he did have a little bruise on his nose... it's gone now)

crawling....

One tired, worn out little girl.....

We had the boys with us until just after 9pm - then they headed off to the movies with Connie... Blake was fast asleep by 4:45pm... he was REALLY worn out - which ruined any plans we had for having dinner out somewhere.... (he was up at 4:50am.... but you'd expect that with the early bed time.... nearly an hour early to bed and up only 30mins early - so not too bad)....

Sunshine Coast Holiday - Day 3 - Bellingham Maze

After Blake's morning sleep yesterday we headed off to pick up Smack's sons (Chris & Callum) and headed off to the Bellingham Maze....

the entrance has a "Magic" waterfall... basically it opens up and you have 40 seconds to get through before it starts pouring again... so we're all very clever - no one got wet....

Smack, Chris & Callum

Callum

The tables had puzzles all over them, even ones that Jade could do....

Even Blake had a try.... :)

Smack decided to eat his lunch like a big girly man.... with knife and fork....

Rob's face when i said that we weren't going to go to some cheese factory...

(yeah yeah, I warned him not to pull the face.... you wanna pull silly faces you're gonna get blogged!)

they had mini-mazes before you get into the big maze...

This is a race game... you tie yourself to a colour rope and you have to follow your colour all the way back to your tree....

Callum won....

The view of the maze from the top...

Jade was the leader for our group.....

(so, it did take us a while)

Rob had to try to push Blake through... the gravel walkway made it a little hard....

6 of the 7 dwarves were inside the maze - you had to find them all...

The fountain in the middle of the Maze....

(as you can imagine - the boys beat us)

Got excited when we found a "clue" on the way out....

we were disappointed... that was no help!

Smack's new girlfriend... :)

Jade went to check out Snow White's house...

Callum & Chris...

Smack and his boys... :)

Blake was worn out by the end of the day... he missed his afternoon sleep....

heading out after having finished the maze....

Bird Aviary on the way out....

Sunshine Coast Holiday - Day 2

Jade was up and ready to go swimming first thing in the morning.... it's all about the pool.... no matter where we go!

Rob took Jade down to the pool while Blake slept.... it's heated - so it didnt' matter that it was only 26 outside... the pool is nice and warm - and then there's a "hot pool" (spa).... Jade wasn't as keen on that one...

They found a door wheel thingy that Jade was diving for.....

Practising her somersaults

After Blake woke, we headed into town to try to find some colouring books for Jade to keep her occupied when it wasn't time for swimming... and ended up running a little late - so we went straight from there to the airport to pick up smack....

(Jade was more interested in seeing Connie (Smack's daughter) at the airport than seeing him... she's changed her tune now... she likes smack again)

We had lunch and put Blake down for another sleep... then headed down to the pool once Blake was up again.....

he was enjoying getting out of the pool and crawling around (and walking sometimes)...

Smacko...

Blake decided to climb in - or dive in....

it was a bit sad after that....

Smack again :)

Both kids in bed at a reasonable time... which was good... then we set up the projector and watched "The Big Bang Theory" on the wall on the verandah.... (cause apparently that's what we do when smack visits.... watch Big Bang!!! - - - oh - and I went to sleep while the boys kept watching..... they woke me when it was time for bed though)
