Winter Fun at Twin Waters

We had a few days up at Twin Waters last week. It was a fantastic break and was great to "get away from it all". As always the weather was postcard perfect and we spent most of the time in our togs. Zane and Liam went out on the lagoon in a catamoran while James and I frolicked in the pool (heated of course!), and we also checked out the local pelicans, Barry and Laura. Barry was very cranky so we kept our distance!!!

Other activities included a spot of shopping at Sunshine Plaza, and we went out for dinner one night to the local Italian. The boys were well behaved and nothing was broken!!! A night of red wine, port and card playing followed, with the obligatory sore heads the next morning.

We also met up with our friends Jason and Juanita for a play date in the playground at Cotton Tree which is right on the river, a fabulous spot. We took the boys' bikes up and did laps around the lagoon. Mum and Dad, the trike you gave Liam for his 1st birthday has now officially been handed over to James and he is loving it!! There was a thorough exploration of the local beach as well, and Liam was fascinated with the holes in the sand, wondering what strange creatures could be lurking beneath.

It was with much reluctance that we packed up and headed home on Sunday morning. The more we go up there, the more we want to just move up there and be done with it!! It's such a relaxed lifestyle ... maybe one day!

Snack time at the beach (note my less than impressed smile - I'm not a fan of leg shots)

May I present my new bike...
Catch me if you can!
Mamma Mia! The pasta here is delicimo!

A quick colouring in session between courses
Stocking up on provisions at Coles - they have kids trolleys - how cute is that!!!
A quick ride on the doggy car - two steering wheels - very convenient
Jumping castle fun at Sunshine Plaza

So it's a miracle we didn't catch swine flu after all that activity but we seem to have made it unscathed!
