Today was a beautiful day, made even more amazing by 2 Tawny frog mouths huddled up together under the awning of our ensuite. They watched everything we did but didn't move from their spots until night fall. The kids spent so much time watching them until we decided to head into Coffs Harbour and let the Tawny's have a sleep. Dan decided to stay with Bentley so the kids and I set off. I didn't want to make a fuss of where to go, I knew that the road to Coffs was the main Highway so all I had to do was find my way to the shop the kids wanted once I was there, which of course was in a shopping plaza out of town but we had a great day, I only got lost twice and that was just my poor sense of which way north and south were and when the I phone says turn right, I probably should turn right. We went looking for a pair of shoes with roller wheels on the bottom, only to find they were sold out and they didn't actually go up as big as the kids size! So a little waste of time but the kids had a great time and walked every aisle of toys and dvds. We grabbed some lunch and as they couldn't agree on the same thing we ended up eating in the car as if we had the dog with us anyway. We headed back to the van. Daniel and Bentley had walked until they couldn't walk anymore and both needed a big rest after their adventures. Dan and I both love Nambucca Heads and hope to retire here so he was scouting around through the hills and along the boardwalk like a local and checking out the real estate, 25 years too early but still fun to look. We then got ready to go to the movies and watch Despicable Me 2, they have great cinemas here. I asked which seats we were in (as everywhere we go is allocated seating) and she looked at me like I was an alien and said "uuuummmmm you can sit wherever you want" when we got in the cinema there were 5 other people in the movie, bit different to fountain gate! What a great, funny, easy watch. We all laughed through it, these animated films are aimed at adults so much too as some of the humour goes over kids heads. I cant work out if a want a yellow minion or the little girl in the film, Agnes, soooo cute. It was a great night, we shared a popcorn, well that's not entirely correct, Dan was in control of the popcorn and the box never left his hands and was offered occasionally under duress. We headed back to the van where Bentley had been keeping guard for us. He has only been left by himself for things like this and when we go for a swim so the poor thing is going to have even worse separation anxiety than he did before when we get back......if that is possible!
