Got to love technology , been working on this post since May and some how I managed to delete it yesterday 😒 Oh well I will resort to using my memory. It's taken me so long to finish this post as soon as We returned from our trip over East I was off securing work , setting up the vege garden and then sadly saying good bye to a dear friend taken way too soon .
Casting my mind back...We were met by Nanny Karen and Uncle Lee at the Gold Coast Airport and headed off to our family style accommodation , Turtle Beach Resort. Bev and Graham picked the best place for our extended family -the kids were in heaven with the Splash down water park numerous pools , mini golf and yummy cafes , it was Ideal accommodation for families travelling with kids. Jb instantly felt at home with her cousins and she loved spending time with Bianca, Liam, Ava, Jake,Anika, Vincent, Nicolai, Courtney and Charlie.
Turtle Beach was also walking distance from cafes , pubs and the beautiful Mermaid Beach .
Jb taste buds came alive in the Gold Coast she enjoyed Bbqs cooked by numerous family members around the resort pool, pizzas at the hotel pizza bar and pancakes at the pancake shop down the road. Spaghetti at Sizzler cafe was momentarily the highlight until she spotted Courtney's bowl of ice cream and then that continued to be her favorite treat for the remains of the holiday !
Gold Coast was greener than I imagined the Cbd itself had pretty and seedy parts . The braver ones of the group took to the slingshot ride in the city centre , this was also where Jb made her RED nose
(she acquired from kissing the carpet in hotel room) even redder when she broke the blister open and made her parents almost faint from all the gushing blood .needless to say all the Gold Coast
photos were starring her and her Rudolph red nose !!
Jb and I also went up the Q1 tower with a few of the family , despite being a bit pricey it was well worth the spectacular view and four xxxx has never tasted so sweet as it did at that altitude !!!
Miss Red locks was very lucky to have her first hair cut with Aunty Nat who had her own very successful salon in New Zealand . It was very special that we could share this moment with our extended family even if it was only a little trim . We kept the curls of course!!
Did anyone get a full family photo? I can't remember, if not we will have to make sure we do on our next family holiday , maybe next time in New Zealand! Thanks so much to everyone who made this holiday so great! Bev, Graham, Karen, Craig,Amy, Lee, Nat, Taua, Wendy, Paul, Darryn, Tracey
Michelle and all the kids xxx
