We actually had a sleep in until 7:20am this morning, the
boys needed it as much as we did.
After brekky we decided to have a look around The
Entrance, Terrigal & Gosford after we gave Woolworths some more of our
money. Unfortunately the day went from a low 30's yesterday to a low 20's cloud
covered/spitting day which wasn't great for photos, but having been here before
we know how beautiful it is. The tour was mainly for the boys but they weren't
that into it anyway.....they just wanted to go back and see the girls.
We hinted to Zander that we are not far from home and he
said he is really looking forward to it, but Maverick just wants to keep going
to new campsites.
After toasties back at camp for lunch, we arrived at
Mick's about 2:30pm. The slippery slide was a non event due to the cold, so they
just took off from where they left off last night....
Coffees with Ann Louise's macrons & cupcakes for
afternoon tea left us 500g heavier, but happier, and we decided to go down to
the local sports club for tea.
Nat went back to camp to shower and grab the boys jeans
etc, while Mick & I were going to bath the boys with his youngest two girls
in the 5 star hotel spa they have in their ensuite.
This was quite funny seeing all 4 of them in there
splashing and having fun, making a huge mess but enjoying it immensely. The
thought crossed our minds that 25-30 years ago when the lemon bombs were flying
rampantly over the back fence onto neighbours roofs, we wouldn't have pictured
my 2 boys and his 2 girls bathing together in a big bubble bath having a great
old time....I was upstairs at the time but Mick said it got a little bit
interesting when they all realised they
had different bits and were showing them off to one and other!!!
A pleasant dinner at the club was had and the kids were
well catered for with a large playground. We certainly do not do clubs in QLD
like they do down here, they are like little cities. They have a large indoor
25m pool, multi million dollar gym facility & the public eating and gaming
areas are huge. The food was great, as was the company but unfortunately we needed
to get the boys into bed early tonight, so we returned home at around 7:30pm.
The intention as it always is, was to make sure we don't
leave it this long to catch up next time & we hope we don't. The reality is
that we are lucky to have such a strong bond after 30+ years of being mates and
even if we don't catch up for another couple of years, that will never change.
Thanks mate, it was great to catch up with you and the family, you are a lucky
man to be surrounded by 4 amazing girls. Cheers guys.
Coffs Harbour to catch up with more friends tomorrow....
Jase.
