4th october townsville.




Wow what a great sleep, i remember waking up at around 9ish. and all i could hear upstairs was " can we wake ian up yet kewwi". so i thought i best get up before i was jumped on, actually the kids are very nice and pleasent so i dont think they would of jumped on me.

so had breakfast, kerry took me and the kids, ok yes the three of the kids she was looking after now (craig, juilette and me) down to the beach area, called the strand it has a water park for kids, so we had a picnic by the waterpark and then i got taken into the waterpark with the kids. there are some jellyfish things, which is basicaly a toadstall that has water coming out of it, but as juilette told me it is a jellyfish. has a few of them. some water cannons, which i had to let the kids get me with. (this is so much fun, kids are great. for start i am the same height as them, and they keep me amused.) there is a climbing frame thing with a slide, and water coming out of it all over the place, and on top there is a bucket that fills up with water and every min or so drops lots of water and everyone around it.

then we went down farther and went to the beach had a wee swimin the sea, actually no i didn't kerry had juilette and i had craig and we were jumping waves. there is to many waves to let the kids go in on there own, although they can both swim, they are only 2 and 4.

next we built a volcanoe in the sand, i will say mine and juliettes was much better then craig and kerrys. hahaha. then juliette decided that was enough and destoryed it. we then proceeded to bury kerry, then the kids one at a time. (actually i have a good picture, but as normal i haven't brought my camera out with me, next time)

after the beach, we took a little stroll in the botanic gardens in townsville, where the kids went to a little maze and we located them. i took a picture from the gardens of castlehill, (picture attached, i thought it was very artistic, maybe)

after the gardens we took a drive up castlehill, saw the sight from there which was pretty good. walked round the top of the hill.

got back to the house, had some dinner, kerry put the kids to bed, then we just hung out again in the evening. it is nice to relax. and to be in a house again.
