Queensland Holiday - Day 3 - Saturday 26 April 08

Another lazy start to the day. Again the others were way ahead of us and we caught up with them at the other side of the lagoon. The boys had gone upstairs for breakfast this morning - there's more exciting stuff than Allbran and Weetabix available up there. By the time we got to the lagoon the older kids had had a go on the catamarans and were down at the beach with Joanne. Ian went to join them while I joined Janet supervising the younger kids and Clare.
The youngsters were busy for hours, first burying Alex in the sand then building a BIG hole and running up and down to the water to keep it filled. They were able to borrow buckets and spades, etc and use them to carry the water - except Bill who was using a spade to transport the water then gave up on that and got a mouth full and spat it into their pond. Not surprisingly, after a few turns of this he was feeling somewhat nauseated!
Back to the apartment for lunch provided again by Janet. She seems to be enjoying doing the bulk of the catering and is always thinkiing about the next meal.
After a bit of quiet time (snoozes for Joanne and I), Joanne and I took Alex and Ishbel back to the lagoon beach. Adam was at a PS2 competition at the Kids Club and we had him to pick up at 4pm. The kids picked up where they left off this morning and played happily together until it was time to go back and get ready for dinner.
We all watched Top Gear together upstairs, then, thinking we'd give Joanne and Janet a break from always having everyone in their apartment, we took our lot downstairs. Then, finding I had only 1/2 a load of washing, I went back upstairs to see if they had anything they'd like to add and invited the kids to come down, Harry Potter 4 was on TV.
Currently everyone except Joanne and Adam are down here, fighting over the space on our sofa!
We're looking forward to Jono and Nelly coming tomorrow.
