Holidays
Our collection of family holidays. From our very first family holiday, to our most recent adventures
Goodbye Gladstone
This morning I was on breakfast duty. Belinda had picked up some bacon, eggs and pancake mix yesterday, and I was in charge of ensuring we didn’t end up at McDonalds for breakfast. After a few minutes trying to work…
Goodbye Nan

Face painting
Today’s activity was face painting and colouring in. Emma got a dolphin and ryan a dinosaur. We went back to Pacific fair shopping center to pick up a few things and then headed back to the apartment to get ready…
