Family Holidays

We were given a weekend away for Christmas from my wonderful parents, Sister & brother in-law. It was really nice just to get away from it all, just the four of us. We had a really nice time, unfortunately the weather wasn’t on our side, but we still enjoyed ourselves, rain or no rain.

Our first stop was at the Kiama blowhole. It is a hole in a rock in the ocean, as the waves crash against the side of the rock, it shoots up through the hole, causing a spray of water. Little Man thought it was great, Little miss didn’t really like it at all, she just buried her head in my shoulder.

We then arrived at our destination and the children had a bit of together time, amazing, they sat on the couch and did some reading. Just relaxing for the rest of the afternoon, conserving our energy for a walk the next day.

A walk we did!, it was a long walk but the little man did really really well and walked most of the way, little miss had it easy in the backpack on Daddys back, but she had a big day all the same. Here are a few pictures of our walk, we had a wonderful day, even in the rain.

Some of the great falls and scenery on the way up the mountain.

The rain got quite heavy so had to put the poncho and jackets on, very stylish don’t you think?

The rain didn’t last very long, just a bit of a downpour.

We made it to the major falls at the top, it was worth it, as it had been raining the falls were great.

Unfortunately we couldn’t go the whole day with out an injury, Little miss decided to have an arguement with the ground, I think the ground won. Poor little thing got a bit of a bruise and graze on her forehead and her nose.

It all got too much, sleep was the best option, looks pretty comfortable. I wish it was me, I had to piggy back the little man most of the way down the mountain, he is such a fidget and getting so heavy. But we were having fun which was the main thing.  He was trying to tell me that there were monsters in the trees, apparently they were friendly ones so we were going to be ok, phew!

Overall the day was great, the weekend was great. It is nice to spend some quality time with your family, my family are the best, I love them to death!.
