Camping with the Grandchildren






















Camping at Holdfast Shores with the kiddies and on my own all day Monday! What was I thinking? I had forgotten how hard it was to be with them all on my own. Talk about fun. We had a ball. There was trampolining on the mega large pillow, baseball, soccer, playground, feeding the ducks, 2 pooey nappies, swimming in the pool, playing cards, lots of laughs and a few cries and that was b4 Grandma arrived after work on Monday. Then it was out to the Lockley's hotel for tea and back for bedtime. I slept well that night. We woke up at 5.30am when the planes started warming up their engines. (the site was opposite the airport) Then it was more of the same with also a beach excursion including the sand dunes. Off to HJ's for tea and more time on the playground. WE all slept very well that night until............ you guessed it..... the early morning flight to Melbourne, Sydney and what seemed a hundred other destinations. I never realized how many planes come and go in the morning. Jan left to go home at 7am as she was at the office so I packed up and Abbey come and got the tribe and suddenly, there was nothing to do ... so I went home and unpacked and crashed on the lounge after a spa. Everyone had a great time. I love camping.
