The Glorious Gold Coast

Well we have just returned from a wonderful week away on the Gold Coast where we spent our days swimming in the pool or at the beach, relaxing, enjoying the company of special friends who were over there at the same time and of course going all-out at the Theme Parks, namely Movie World, Dream World, White Water Rafting World and Seaworld. What a gorgeous part of the world with its sandy shores that go on forever and the endless stretch of blue water - Mummy managed a run on the beach most mornings and just loved it!

We learned very quickly at the theme parks that all Josh wanted to do was go on all the rides and the faster they were the happier he was! We are lucky (I think) that Daddy is a bit of a dare devil as well although he had to be reminded at one stage that although Josh is tall and met the height requirement, he was still only 5 years old! Mummy managed to go on most rides but is embarrassed to admit that after one full day of rides, she 'lost' it all on the 'green room' water roller coaster that started with an almost vertical drop, into a dark tunnel and then 'shot' us out into a 20metre high basin that spun us forwards and then backwards (that was the worst) and then finished us off by "sucking us down the plug-hole" and then depositing what was left of us in the pool at the bottom - I kid you not !! Suffice to say, that finished Mummy off for the rest of the day !
Hope you all enjoy these photos which are a brief snapshot of the fun we had.
