Thierings on Tour

Today was a happy day, our beautiful Jazzy is 6!

The day started with family cuddles in bed followed by a birthday treasure hunt around camp. It’s a tradition Jazzy started in Sydney and she didn’t want to miss out on the road. Our gorgeous girl had lots of birthday wishes, calls and kind words directed her way which made us all so grateful to feel so much love even when we are far from friends & family.

We headed out for a milkshake only to find that the place I had earmarked for the occasion had closed a week ago… 🫣oh dear, but Crave Cave in Karratha came recommended by some local tradies and saved the day with delicious authentic milkshakes! The kind owner even let Izzy keep a book from the stash of books he had at the cafe, which made our bookworm very happy.

Next birthday adventure was a trip to the beach. We checked out Hearson Cove, but it was very low tide so we didn’t stay too long and instead headed further north. There were a lot of jelly fish in the water so we just enjoyed lunch at the beach before heading back into town.

It’s incredible how much mining activity there is around Karratha, it seems the whole town was purpose built to support the mining activities in the area. The girls were very impressed by the huge trains carrying iron ore out to port. 

The next part of Jazzy’s birthday celebrations included a trip to the pool and splash park. It was so much warmer than the caravan park pool, even I enjoyed staying in the water! The girls were there for hours splashing, playing and having the best time. Scarly befriended a little Spanish girl and her mum and I were laughing at how they were chit chatting for ages about who knows what, sharing with joy that they had made a new friend each. After Scarly told me that they talked about pasta and camping 😂 so cute!

Back at camp we got ready for Jazzy’s fancy birthday dinner and she got to wear her new sparkly dress (which everyone needs for caravan life!). She looked beautiful and we were all happy to celebrate our gorgeous girl with a delicious meal. There was yummy food and sparklers at the restaurant.

Just because you can never have enough sparklers, we had some more back at camp and then the big girls got to stay up and watch Aladdin. A successful day celebrating our big girl!
