On Sunday we drove down to Runaway Bay on the Gold Coast to visit Paul, Jacki and Chae at their new beach-side townhouse. It is a two-storey townhouse with direct beach access and ocean views from every room overlooking the Spit, very nice. They even have their own private jetty! Just what every home needs. Now all they need is a boat and they will be all set.
In the morning Jacki had organised an Easter egg hunt, and a few of their friends came over, with their extended families and there ended up being quite a few kids all very excited about the hunt. Liam was a bit slower than the bigger kids but managed to find a couple of eggs, and the other kids were very nice and graciously handed over some eggs to Liam to even up the tally a bit. Meanwhile, James looked on from his play mat, gurgling away happily! Then it was champers and hot cross buns all round.
Everyone left after that (except for us) and we had a nice lunch of sausages in bread on the brand new BBQ. Liam and Chae had a play on the beach after lunch while James had a sleep. Liam waded in to the water and nearly drowned so I had to go racing in there - fully clothed! and pluck him out of the water and save him from certain death! While I struggled to get my BP back down to a manageable level, Liam raced off and did it all again, to his great amusement!!!! That's two year olds for you.
The kids ready and waiting for the starter's gun
The hunt is on! Next to Liam is Hudson who is a day older than Liam,
he's Jacki's sister Sally's son.
Scanning the grounds, searching the perimeters
Liam was very pleased with his haul, and his father and grandfather were quite impressed too
Time for a snag
