We have been planning this trip for ages! Finally the September school holidays arrived and we were ready or so we thought lol. A friend of Fitzpatrick was letting us use his boat and so the day before we were to leave Fitzpatrick decided to just try the motor and give it a run and guess what? it didn't go! Typical Brown adventure.. But luckily our neighbor is a (Magician) mechanic and fixed it for us! So the next morning off we went on our camping trip with our road tripper friends, Edward,Elanor and Brandon. Also my mum was meeting us there and Fitzpatrick's parents as well. We just get to Kilcoy and i get a phone call from Fitzpatrick that he had done a wheel bearing on the trailer and he was just waiting for some help.(We usually travel in 2 cars when we go camping as all the camp gear goes in the ute and i take mine with the food and kids ) Fitzpatrick's parents were behind him so picked up the boys, who were riding with dad in his ute, and continued on to the camp site. When they arrived they had also picked up the tent and big tarp that goes over the camp site so we could get started putting up the camp site. We ATTEMPTED to put the huge tarp up without Fitzpatrick's help. Very sad job i must say lol but it was the best we could do. So we set up camp and waited for Fitzpatrick to arrive.. waiting...waiting...waiting... finally he arrived, we all cheered and shouted!
The big boys took the boat down to the water and put it in.. the motor didn't work..lucky they had a second motor, but then they got the big one working again but as with all our adventures nothing goes to plan,they discovered that the forward and reverse were around the wrong way lol. As our niece pointed out as she was watching them " How embarrassing " So funny! but typical, Fitzpatrick didn't care and off the boys went!
They spent most days out on the boat but we only caught one yabby which we gave to Fitzpatrick's dad for his birthday lunch.
On Tuesday my sister came out and visited us for the day and we took the kids swimming and when we came back they all went and played in the boat for a while and played make believe. It was fun to watch the kids play.
We packed up on the Wednesday and it took us two days to recover from our relaxing week camping lol
oh look at that poor lobby. lol
