Milton, NSW

Shortly after our Easter long long weekend away, we had another one!  We did our annual pilgrimage to the South Coast (Milton), NSW.  We left from work which meant MrH was responsible for packing the car.  He did a good job minus the not giving the kids their books to read on the drive down which meant by the time we stopped for a toilet and donut break (they go hand-in-hand!) they were ready to throttle each other. 

Hello!

Friday

Good morning!  We had an earlier than normal start (by about 2.5 hours - the B boys are early risers!)  The kids were excited to see the alpacas grazing the field (there was a 4 week old baby), the new dog (Rosie) and the chickens (part 2; shh!  Don’t tell MissE). 

Leia is 4 months old!

After my much needed caffeine hit at a local café, we tried our luck at fishing at Lake Conjola.  Within 5 minutes of casting, MissE started screaming.  I came to help her reel in her first fish!  Next was MrE!

In the afternoon, it was beach time.  MissE got to try out her surfboard.

That night we had a small bonfire as we waited for The McP’s to arrive.  Then it got real: 6 adults and 7 kids.

Today we started at the beach!

After fish and chips for lunch, we took the E’s for a drive.  After two very early mornings for them, we could see that look in their eyes – half crazed.  They slept for nearly an hour!

We headed back in the afternoon for alpaca kisses then roasted marshmallows over the biggest bonfire I had ever seen!

More amores please!

Sunday

The weather turned overnight on us.  It was overcast and cold so we headed to a local cafe for coffee/ milkshake and treats.

Then the kids had a blast at Funland!

Bumper cars!

The big kid on the left had the most fun.

We finished the weekend with a tractor ride.

Who let her drive?

Whee!

Thank you again for letting us invade your house… we had a blast!  Is it too early to lock in 2017 dates?
