This weekend was very special for me, Jason took a half day friday and Liam and I had a little adventure together on the Trains to get to Toowong shopping centre where daddy would pick us up to go to the Gold Coast. We stayed at Treasure Island Holiday park for the night friday, where we met up with our friends Jessica, Adam, and their kids Mikaela (10), Gabriela (7), and 4 month old Baby Wyatt.
They were having their yearly holiday to the coast and we were very lucky to be able to join them. On Friday the kids were at "Kids Club" cooking when we arrived but soon after they were out and taking Liam on the "Air Cushion" He had a ball with the girls especially since they dote on him and he just loves all the attention. That evening was a short walk to McDonalds for dinner and a play at the playground. We all enjoyed the free little McFlurry desserts that were being handed out. Oh and the raspberry cheesecake at the McCafe.
After a restless night in a strange bed we all met up after breakfast (& a play at the Play ground), and went to the pool for a swim, but as it was cold water I chickened out with Liam and we went into the spa. We were joined by Mikaela and Gabriela. Where we all practiced Liam's swimming songs, Kicking, Bubble blowing and Paddling. After swimming Jessica and I toddled down the road to Harbor Town leaving the guys to relax and have a few beers, while supervising the Girls. We grabbed some groceries to make a Christmas lunch. This is when we saw Santa in his sleigh drumming up business for Christmas. (making sure kids are nice and not naughty of course) well both Liam and Wyatt were perfect angels as they were asleep!
Christmas dinner was Roast chicken, Coleslaw, Potato Salad, Pasta Salad and a green Salad with Fresh French Stick! Yum yum! The perfect Queensland Lunch for people without a means to cook food for a feast, such as Christmas Lunch.
Liam was spoilt with his favorite character PJ's and a Chuggington Book that plays the theme song. We gave Jessica's family our Play station 2 with all the games and Wyatt who at the moment cant enjoy the PS2 got a Little Christmas suit and matching hat. Our stay was topped off with a jump on the Air cushion by Liam, Daddy and Jessica's girls. I was sad to leave this little slice of paradise not because of the holiday park but because these people are my family and I love spending time with them. Jess is the sister that I always wanted and Adam is the Brother in law that I would have wished my sister to marry. Mikaela, Gabriela and Wyatt are the cousins liam will grow up playing with and spending time with. I bet he cant wait for Wyatt to start walking so he can lead him astray! Love you all guys, thanks for a great weekend.
