Wow, how fast does a month go?? I can't believe I haven't blogged for that long until I ran into a friend last night who kinda gave me a shove (thanks for that ;)). To say we have been busy is a total understatement! We had Harrison's 8th birthday on the 11th. He had a party at Zone 3 - 9 boys running around shooting each other with laser guns - YAY!! He had an amazing day! We then had a swimming carnival 4 days after his birthday which was a bugger cause he had to swim against 8 year olds, and although he did well, some of these boys were HUGE. But he did PB's with every race and we are very proud of him, he is doing really well! He is now swimming with the Dolphin squad one day a week, Marlin squad (stroke correction) one day a week and then Club championships were on Friday night, so swim club has now finished until September *wipes brow - thank God!!* He also had a block of swimming lessons through school. Understandably he was exhausted at the end. We have now signed up for soccer. Alistair is coach of Harrison's team and I am manager of Ethan's. Say goodbye to our Saturday's now until September. I wouldn't have it any other way. I think it's important for the kids to be involved with sport.
The other thing we did in Feb was go away with friends to Hastings Point Big4 Caravan Park. OMG!! It was awesome and I can't wait till we get to go back again! Above is a pic of the slides into one of the pools. The other pools were for toddlers and younger kids.
This is the enclosed playground that was across from our 4.5* cabin. On the left of that was a maze mania sort of enclosed area for kids under 12 - supervised on weekends and holidays and on the right is a play centre for the kids (and adults) with table tennis, pin ball machines, pool tables etc. It was great cause they have security cameras in there and it is linked to our tv sets in our cabins, so we could sit in the air con playing Uno and watch the kids on tv LOL!!
This was the balcony of our cabin. Build in BBQ and sink and table and chairs, fantastic!!
This is Harrison ready to swim at the carnival. He's in the blue hat...
