Wonthaggi

Between Christmas and New Year we had an absolutely fantastic three nights in Wonthaggi.  Our friend, Tina has a permanent caravan down there with two of her sisters and their kids.  We then came down with our three, and Kate came down with her three kids too.  As a result, Jack and Cooper had LOADS of kids to play with and rode their bikes and scooters all around the park with the caravanning gang.  It was a pretty small park so every 15 minutes or so, they would ride past our caravan so we could keep a track of them without having to watch them all the time.

We managed to put up our annex for the first time.  Extremely frustrating, and took us over 2 hours.  As it turns out, the instructions we didn't read told us what we needed to know.  Who knew????

On our first night there, Justin and Shane took a car full of kids to the speedway to see some speedway car racing.  Jack and Cooper thought that was pretty great.  I stayed back at the caravan and had drinks with Tina in the annex.  Perfect afternoon!

On the second day, my friend Kate came down with her kids, and we all had the day at the pool and again, the kids played on their scooters.  They then set up bunk beds in our annex, Kate was on the floor on a camping mattress and they spent the night camping with us.

We put the kids to bed early, and then sat up talking rubbish and had a great night.

In the morning, it was 'keep the kids quiet until 8am by watching 'Cars2' on TV.

The following day, Kate went home, and Marcia came to visit for the day with her two kids.  Again, spent the day in the pool and having a very relaxed, play-with-the-kids type day.

All in all, it was the most relaxed holiday I have had in an extremely long time.  Lachlan is now old enough to not fall off things in the caravan, and Jack and Cooper were entertained for 3 whole days.  A GREAT holiday.
