Fletcher: Today we drove around town and went to Parap Market and then went to find a park. We found it and got our scooters out. We went to a skate park and I went down big drops, I was a bit scared. Then we went for a walk around the park, there were walking tracks everywhere. There was a big hill so I drove my scooter down it till I realised it was a bunch of hills, I went down it super fast until I said please don't be another hill, so guess what-another hill. After the park we went back to the caravan park for a swim, it was freezing, then we went back to have dinner.
We headed out early today as there were 2 markets on between 8-2 so as I had missed last nights market so the boys could watch the footy I was on a promise that we would do both. We headed to one and there were only 2 stalls, we didn't even get out of the car. We were there long enough to watch a girl reverse her big Toyota into a brand new sparkly blue ute. We waited a while until the guy came back to his ute to check she didn't do a runner as there was a lot of damage, he said he had her details, it was his girlfriends best friend who did it, his words were, I just cant speak to her at the moment. Poor bugger. We moved onto the next market that was at Parap, it was a great market with most stalls the same as Mindle Beach but still good for a walk around, Dan filled up on market food and then the kids and I went in for a feed. Everyone is so nice and friendly its so good to be around such positive energy. We then went to Jingili water gardens which is a beautiful botanical gardens with water features everywhere, there was so many birthday parties going on and even a few professional photographers snapping photos of families. The kids took their scooters as there is so many walking & bike paths, they had a great time and their confidence in everything is so high, I had to hold my breathe at times as they went down hills way to fast with the wind wobbles up, even Dan had to look away at times, I thought for sure they would scratch or break something but they come out unscathed. We went to a skate park and they did a few tricks which was fun for us to watch, no nitro circus but they had a great time. We did some driving around looking at all the huge houses on the waterfront and had a few dreams of which one we liked and what we would do to change it, a single story house that was quite run down and lawns un mowed had a board up for sale for offers over $4 million, so we will keep dreaming. We have next door neighbours in the park that have 3 kids that seem to have shifted into our place, we go to the pool and they come while mum & dad have drinks at their van and I am the parent to supervise, we sit down to talk, eat, breathe and they are knocking on the door, we go to the toilet and they come, we open our front door-they open theirs. So we saw their car parked down the shops so we knew it was safe to go home and have 10mins peace and a swim so I could relax and not supervise 5 kids. Dan is on the edge and so is the man next door over it too but hey everyone is different, we have a rule that the kids don't go in any one else's van and no one else comes in ours so that has come in handy, they play under the awning and are enjoying each others company so that is great that they get to play and the 3 kids are very polite. So it was my night off and the kids were excited to have no vegies tonight so Dan whipped up toasted sandwiches, the kids had leftover spaghetti in theirs so they did have vegies they just didn't realise it and he made me a lovely chicken cheese & tomato toastie and is cutting up a fruit platter for everyone as I type, I feel very spoilt, well I do have 5 kids at the moment!!
( yes we do realise its fake- although we had the kids going for a while)
