The Power's Trip 2013: Adelaide River

Fletcher : Today we slept in and I played my ipod in bed. We had breakfast and mum and dad went to the market while me and Mackenzie wrote our diaries for yesterday. Later on we went swimming. Then we had lunch, I had sausages. Then we just hung around here and then had homemade burgers for dinner.

Mackenzie : Today mum and dad went to the market and me and Fletcher stayed at the caravan and did school work. When they came back we went to the pool and played chasey. Then we went back to the caravan and had lunch. We watched some TV and for dinner we had Burgers.

Today was a fantastic lazy day. Dan and I went to the market, the same 4 or 5 stalls as last time, lovely hand made goods. The kids stayed in the van with our phone again as the markets are just out the front of the park. They said they did their school work and I could hear them reading out times tables as I walked back to the van but not sure how much they did in between and I didn't check as I wanted them to know I trusted them. The books got packed away quick smart and bathers on for the pool. Bentley and I stayed behind to rest our eyes and Dan and the kids had their normal running & swimming games. Dan & I didn't sleep well, it was a hot night and the next door neighbours had their radio on all night and in the dead of night it was loud. We had hoped they would be moving on but nope they are staying another night so I'm sure tonight we are in for talk back radio again all night. They had a long swim and then we hung around here for the day. We had lunch and then the kids watched their ereader and I read some magazines, it was another hot day but with the air conditioner on the kids were snuggled under a blanket watching a show while Dan & I were really comfortable. I walked to the milk bar to post a letter while they were having a rest and brought the local paper to read by the swimming pool, I could get use to this! Back to reality and tea to prepare, just burgers but you have to love when your kids get excited and ask you what's in the burgers and how do you make this gravy? We walked over to the truck stop for some road train spotting and an icy pole. The mozzies are still bad and we cant leave the van after dark without being eaten alive or them coming in as we open the door. We did sit outside last night at the pub and the kids watched TV for only the 2nd time for Mack and 3rd for Fletcher as he had watched the footy the other night. They watched The Block, the last time was at Point Samson so just proves we can live without it.
