Holidays at Moffats

Thanks to Noonie we were able to have a unit holiday for a week at Moffats Beach. We all went along: us, Noonie and the Wisemans. It was a fantastic week of swimming, boogie boarding, swimming, playing UNO, swimming, scootering, eating, swimming, swimming and swimming! All the kids (and the adults too) really enjoyed the resort pool. The pool was such a hit because it had a water slide which all the kids really loved, Lucy included! The spa also was a huge success. It was just the right depth for Lucy, Annie and Jordy to jump and play around in without having to be held. Another highlight of the holiday was watching the boys boogie board. This was Ryan's and Jake's first go and they picked it up really quickly. The only downside was Jake being stung by a bluebottle on his first day at the beach. Therefore, he was not a big fan of Dickies Beach after that!! So when we went on our beach walk from Dickies Beach to Curramundi Lake days after and there were bluebottles scattered all along the shoreline, poor Jakey walked up on the highest point of the sand dunes the WHOLE way chanting "I don't like Dickies Beach, there are too many bluebottles. I don't like Dickies Beach, there are too many bluebottles." However he thoroughly enjoyed the walk once he realized there were shells everywhere for him to collect. And that's exactly what all the kids did. We must have collected half the beach worth of shells by the time we got to the lake!

Eating was also a priority! We had a lovely family BBQ one night by the pool followed by a very late swim for the boys and Mikayla. The kids thought this was so cool! While the littlies had to go to bed, they got to go for ANOTHER swim. Jordy did however, peek out from behind the curtains and give Matthew a wave as her bedroom window overlooked the pool. Annie made sure she did not miss out on her late night swim so on the last night Daddy took just Annie for a swim. Freezing as it may have been, Annie was not going to let that stop her!

Homemade Cold Rock was also a family favourite. We would all go to the shops and pick out one add-in and then return home to make magic! The kids thought long and hard about which one to pick. On one occasion BJ was allowed to pick 2 because he went for a walk with Mummy and Noonie one afternoon from Moffats beach to Kings Beach and even though it was sunshine when we left, it did end up raining by the time we where walking past Shelly's Beach. BJ did not complain one little bit but kept on being piggyed backed on Mummy while yelling in her ear about his hat blowing off!

During the quiet time of the day (the time when Lucy would have her day sleep) the kids played UNO, and lots of it. This too was definitely another favourite thing to do. It took Jake the whole week to win a game, the last one at that too!

There are so many memories from our wonderful holiday at the unit: fish and chips at the pirate ship park, playing beach cricket at the lagoon with uncle Daniel, flying the kites, the boys riding their scooters at the jumps, morning tea by the pool and sunbaking to get warm....

Thanks Noonie xxxxxx
