Happy Mother’s Day to me! Nothing like starting the day with kids fighting at 5.30am (keeping it real is a theme on this trip), but hopefully it meant the day could only get better from here and it did.
I was lucky enough to have yummy brekkie cooked for me by all the crew. Thanks gang!
I was watching the weather closely and we managed to venture out for a walk and play at the park in the pockets of sunshine. The kids loved being able to play at a playground finally and Jazzy nearly made herself dizzy swinging on all the swings. The big kids joined in too and let’s just hope the seesaw survived that ordeal…
After lunch, Chris and I had a surprise for the girls that we had been planning for a while. We just didn’t want to tell them in advance to avoid the barrage of “when are we going to… how many hours until…”
The big surprise was Bluey World. The girls were SO excited! Especially Scarly, who couldn’t hold her tongue in (a sign of her excitement and happiness, a bit like Bluey now that I come to think of it). Jazzy was also teacher’s pet as she helped the walking & talking gnome unlock all the clues until we finally found Bluey and Bingo. Izzy joined in on all the fun and I’m happy that we were able to make it a fun afternoon for all their age groups. We figured on this trip it would make more sense than the main theme parks and also a great indoor option!
It was a worthwhile small fortune to spend to see the kids so excited and it made for a lovely afternoon outing. I even got a free cupcake for sharing my day with Chilli (I mean which mum doesn’t dream of going to Bluey World on Mother’s Day?!?)
Back at Liam’s we had a nice dinner and relaxed. The kids got to play a bit more Mariokart and the big kids got to enjoy a drink together. So nice to be able to relax and enjoy home comforts…
However Scarly and the nighttime battles continued – she has literally fallen asleep after the big girls every day so far this trip. Send help!!!
