Ginger Factory Trip

We got to the weekend and decided we wanted to go do something so we decided to go to the Ginger factory in Buderium( actually it is in Yandina ) So we called Elinor and Edward to see if they were up for it and of coarse they were so off we went for the day! Had a nice trip up and had a look at all the ginger, Mr Knightly loves ginger so he was grabbing heaps of stuff :) I don't like it so i just browsed at everything, Then we went for a look through all the little boutiques they have there, I loved "The Doll House" absolutely gorgeous! Then we went over the road to the Macadamia Nut Factory where we sampled all the different coated nuts. Edmund is highly allergic to peanuts but we have recently found out he can eat tree nuts so he was excited to be able to try them for the first time, And the verdict was :.... He spat them out!!!! He didn't like them at all by themselves and i had to get a drink for him to wash the taste out! lol! It was about lunch time then and everyone was getting hungry so we (as usual)had organized to picnic somewhere so we went to a Lake out there which had a nice little park and BBQs. It was a very windy road and when we pulled up at the car park poor Jayne was out like a shot and vomiting up in the bushes :( Poor chooky, But after a drink and rinse out her mouth she was fine.It must of been the curvy road. Well the boys got BBQ-ing but it wasn't cooking very well so Edward got out his trusting camping stove and put the snags on there :) All the kids had decided to build a fort out of sticks on the playground equipment, which you had to have a secret password for:) So they were all collecting sticks and logs etc.We had lunch and were just sitting around chatting when Darcy come screaming up to us he'd been bitten by some ants (the way he was carrying on you would of thought it was a bite from an extremely venomous animal!) So Elinor was in panic mode :) and ran down to get the first aid kit, I just said show me where it has bitten you, to which he exclaims " MY LEG,MY LEG, MY LEG!!!!" and falls into the camp chair, Talk about drama queen lol, So i got him to take of his shoe and sock so i could see, and he had two bite marks which Elinor sprayed with Stingoes and gave him a bit of chocolate cake! And then Mr. Knightly was making him laugh to take his mind of the pain in his ankle from the bites. So soon after that we packed up and went for a drive through the hinterland (which was beautiful!), on our way home. It was about 3:30 i think and i really felt like getting Fish and Chips and going to the beach for dinner so we decided to do that :) We went to Caloundra to Moffets beach (very nice) and no doubt you know, the kids got wet and we had to change there clothes, And Then we got fish and chips and had dinner and the kids played pirates in the playground,Jayne being the evilest pirate had to be captured the most by Captain Edmund :) It was about 7pm when we left and drove home. Then we went through Maccas and got ice cream cones for dessert to top off the day :)
