My Cousins baby girl was getting Christened..They live in Cairns so we decided to drive up for it. We left at 2:30am Friday, i had packed the car the night before and filled the front up with snacks for the kids,so i only had to transfer sleeping kids in to the car. So off we went..I dozed on and off until it was light and we stopped at McDonalds for brekkie(i do like there bacon and egg muffins..yumo) and kept driving making good time.We stopped at Rockhampton to visited Ftzpatricks cousin and her new Little baby Beau..He's so cute! So that was a nice little rest stop. Then we headed on up to Mackey where we stopped for the night, we got there about four o'clock in the after noon. We stayed with a good friend of Fitzpatricks.His house was lovely, the back yard was the beach and you could hear the ocean as you were going to sleep, Lovely. I went to bed early but Fitzpatrick stayed up and caught up with his friend and went over old times etc. Then at 3am we did the stealth ninja and loaded all the kids in to the car so we didn't wake up Fitzpatricks friend. Mackey was flooding in parts at the time so that was a bit exciting. We had to cross 3 lightly flooded roads at Bowen and it rained the rest of the way up to Cairns and we got there by 1:30pm.I went and did a little shop,bread milk,cereal that kind of thing, in my Pjs :)I had been in my jamas all day and so i just went shopping in them as well lol. So then we went to check in at the coconut resort and we had a little tour which the kids loved! They had heaps of activities to do there. So we got to our cabin and got all settled in and of coarse the kids couldn't wait to do everything there! So we went to the waterpark first even though it was raining and the kids had a great time. My cousin and his wife and baby stayed there too. They were not far from our cabin. so that night we had dinner together organized what we were going to do for the next day.
Next day we went to the pools and the water park,played tennis and mini golf and giant chess and played in the playground and badminton and played on the giant balloons (which are like trampolines) Later we went over to my Cousins mums place and caught up with her and her hubby and didn't get home until late :) We are both big family history buffs. On Sunday we went to our church service in the morning then went to the Christening after that. It was there baby's first birthday too. So after the christening we went back to My cousins parents house to have a bit of a party. It was such a lovely party! The next day on we went on the Karanda sky rail and train and wondered around the Karanda markets. Thanks for a lovely early Christmas present xoxo! Left my hand bag on the sky rail shuttle bus, bummer! but the bus driver had found it and put it away safely for me, so we had to drive back to the train station to get it lol! Our holiday was way too short! It was so relaxing and fun, i didn't want to come home!
We left about 6am the Tuesday morning and got to Rockhampton about 9pm Stayed there overnight and then we didn't leave until about 8am for the rest of the journey home.I was a bit snap happy on the way home and i took a lot of photos of the flooding on the sides of the roads to Which Fitzpatrick was teasing me about :)It was lots of fun and the kids only had 1 disagreement the the whole time we were away! Fabulous!
