I took the kids on a road trip and thought I would bore you with some photos.
I had a great time and it was nice just to hang out with the kids away from home, with not so many rules. We split the trip into smaller chunks and only drove about 4 hours each day.
We headed south to see the sights of sydney and spend some time with friends.
Then we spent a couple of days at a Farm Stay at Nelson Bay (near Newcastle).
It was very basic but it was very fun.
We had our own chook pen to collect eggs from. And you know that you are in trouble when in front of your cabin is an assortment of Gumboots for you all to wear.
Every afternoon we did the rounds with farmer Scott. We milked the cow; bottle fed the baby calf and goat; played with the baby chicks; fed the ducks, geese, chickens, sheep, goats, alpacas and pony; sat on the donkey, brushed the pig (with a toilet brush!) and threw the ball to Bob the dog. Good ‘not so’ clean fun.
The kids became so confident and mature around the animals very quickly.
Nelson bay is a beautiful spot and I fell in love with the beach at Shoal Bay. We went every chance we had.
This was one holiday that I didn’t want to come home from. (except to see my darling husband – who had to work).
Awww! How cute are your kids?!?!?!?! Hope you are feeling recharged and well rested!
What the hell is that around your daughter’s neck? I take back what I said about wanting to go on a farm stay….
Sounds like a perfect break! My girls would LOVE that FARM!!
Wanted to say too, no apology needed for your wonky house being horizontal, it is perfect as it is and will look great on the back. I think the backing is just as important as the front. It will work fantastically! x
