Hello Melbourne ! Well it felt like Melbourne, it rained all night and most of today. Mack and I got up at 9 after both watching each other for over an hour from either end of the van while we read and the boys snored. After a shower and still no sign of life from the boys I decided if you can't beat them join them, so back to bed I went and we all read or slept until nearly 11, well what else can you do on a rainy day? We cooked a hot breakfast which was well and truly lunch by the time we ate it. We spent the day watching shows, reading, resting and doing crafts. Mack got a few balls of wool at the Crazy Clarkes and is busy making pom poms and Fletcher is creating more Heat Boy comics for him and Adam. We also had crazy hat day, we all wore a crazy hat, we took a skype call from mum who probably didn't know what she had walked in to with me on the video with a monkey on my head, Mack with a huge Australian flag hat like Americas Uncle Sam wears and Fletcher in his Jake the dog hat out of Adventure time. 3 months in an 18 foot van has the tendency to send you a little mad, but a bit of rainy day fun. We headed out for a walk when the rain settled to get out of the van for a while and get some exercise. The 1st few months was way too hot to do anything and now its raining, all the while I feel like I am expanding in size without a daily walk, not looking forward to the scales, although clothes are still fitting. After our walk we came back to our books. The kids did some school work this morning so I looked over their answers and got back to my book too. We organised tea. Dan headed up to the camp kitchen to watch the footy and the kids and I did more crafts, its still raining and the gutters on the buildings aren't handling the amount of rain, the drains are full and our once lovely green site is flooded and has big dirt pot holes, we are hoping for some sun tomorrow to dry it out, although rain is forecast until next Tuesday :(
the rock wall that literally stretches for miles and nearly every part of the rocks are painted, written on or mosaics or plaques are stuck to them, some sad, funny, religious, sport related, holiday memories etc. You can spend hours reading them
