Breakfast with Santa

Today at 8.30am K and E had breakfast at Toscani's with Santa. They received a bag of goodies and played some games such as 'santa says, best dress up, colouring and puzzles'.

Later, another picnic christmas lunch for K and E at West End's park.. This will be sponsored by their Dad's company as a treat for employee's children.

Krystina won twice from 'pass the beach ball' game and from 'statue dancing'.

Party in the park

Kynan's (their cousin) 4th birthday party was celebrated yesterday in the Greenway park and were enjoyed by both kids and adults.

The main fun for Ethan was the long and big slide. One has to climb up the stairs of about 25 steps to reach the top and Ethan slide alone shrieking in delight.

When the party ended at about 3pm, the left over rolls were given to the ducks. But the ducks were too full or not interested in the bits of bread thrown at them.

Our discovery trip

We want to discover and go to different places in Queensland. Last saturday, our plan was going to Moreton Bay.

We searched the internet what are the attractions both for kids and adults, where to eat, how far from Runcorn (our suburb). At least we know what to expect and do.

I packed some bread, chips, biscuits, water and picnic blanket. I was thinking of sitting in the grass and feed the ducks and fishes later on... but we got lost :-(

And we ended up in Sanctuary Cove, one of the most expensive property in Gold Coast. It is acclaimed as world class residential resort. This integrated residential resort has 90 specialty store, restaurants, marina, fitness club.

You can also hire a house boat for an hour, half day, 1 day even weeks and months. Prices varied of course. We looked at 3 bedroom house boat and for Monday to Friday it costs only $820 excluding fuel. Not bad if you can share the cost with another family. Or you just want a different type of holiday adventure with your family.

Anyway, the photos are taken while waiting for our orders at GB's at the Cove. The manager is really attentive and the restaurant is very family friendly. He made sure that Krystina is sitting comfortably and will not get bored by giving some coloured pens and colouring paper. Also, Krystina asked him to post her finished colouring page on the board for display.
