Gold Coast Easter Holiday - Day 3

Sunday 24th April

Happy Easter.....!

The Easter Bunny was slack this year - and didn't hide the eggs, he just put them into the kids hunting baskets and left them for them to find when they woke up....

Jade wasn't very happy about this, so then we had to hide the eggs and let her find them, and then hide them, and let her find them.... this happened a few times before it was luckily time to head for breakfast!






Jade was nearly going to pose with every single small egg with her easter bunny...


Before we knew it, Blake had the wrapping off his bunny and was busily eating away...

The place we were staying had a restaurant - so we headed there for breakfast... Jade was a little off...  we realised when we got there for breakfast that she had a bit of a temperature - so we ate and then headed back to the cabin....  Rob headed out to find a chemist that was open so that he could get some nurofen and I put on a movie for the kids to watch....

There was an easter egg hunt planned for 9am... and luckily - by then, Jade was feeling well enough to head off and do the hunt (surprise surprise.....) - it was obvious how sick she was though - she hadn't touched a single egg...



When they arrived (Rob took Jade up) - each kid was given a paperbag that was decorated with an Easter Bunny and Eggs pictures on either side and the kids were given texta's to colour them in....


They then advised that the hunt wouldn't happen until 9:45 - so there was time to play... and this place has a jumping pillow - which is like a jumping castle - but it's just one huge pillow shape.... Jade thought this was fantastic....




Jade's got her bag and is ready to go on the hunt...


All the kids gathered to do the hunt..


And they're off...


You'll have to enlarge this pic to see it - but the Easter Bunny didn't hide these eggs very well....


The kids gathered all the eggs and then handed them over - and then the eggs were distributed amongst the kids....  Jade only wanted 4... so that she could give some to Blake... (again, she WAS sick!)

In the afternoon, Rob took Jade back to Kidz Korner for plaster painting....  this cost all of $5 and kept Jade busy for a good couple of hours....  you sign the kids in, so you can "leave" them there, but Rob stayed with Jade (apart from a quick run back to the cabin for something he'd forgotten)



Jade painted a unicorn, a snake and a little basket of easter eggs...  she had a ball...



The table with plaster moulds waiting to be painted....



After their plaster fun, Rob brought Jade back to the room... she wanted to head back to the pool - so Rob took her back to the pool where they were waiting for Blake and I to come once he'd woken up....  he didn't wake until nearly 5pm - and then didn't want to go and swim - he wanted to just play in the cabin... so we stayed for a bit, then I convinced him that we should head to the pool to at least let Rob and Jade know that we weren't going to be swimming... so we did that, then headed back....

Jade was still unwell... but trying to power through....   she didn't want to head up to the restaurant for dinner that night - so Rob headed out and brought dinner back so that we could have a quiet evening at the cabin....  everyone was in bed fairly early on this night....
