Day 6

Decided to stay at Yulara for 3 nights so we can relax a bit - lots of driving in the last few days.  Stayed around Yulara today and went and looked around the resort.  It is huge - 4 hotels, apartments, and a huge caravan park that has been completely booked and is sending everyone to an overflow area.  Had a look at the visitor's centre today - the kids thought that was fun.  It had lots of animals (dead? stuffed?) in big glass cabinets.  Went and did a bit of shopping at the supermarket- decided to forgo the kangaroo tails in the freezer section and just went for steak and sausages for a bbq instead.  Boring I know!  I just couldn't do it! (understand now why we haven't seen any kangaroos!!).  Also gave the coffee and cake special for $15.50 a miss - thought I should have got a whole cake for that not a slice!  The view from here of Ayers Rock is pretty amazing.  Went and watched it as the sun set this evening.  Weather was beautiful today - nice and warm, wearing shorts, kids even went in the pool.  It is absolutely freezing now!!  I have my thermals on and am still cold.  Wishing I had packed my electric blanket!  Not much else today - spent a bit of time washing and trying to get rid of some of the red dirt that is through EVERYTHING!

  2. Ok, all seems to be working now. Great blog! Interesting to see what you're been doing. Jack and Jarrah are really missing Kaleb, Josh and Caitlin. They keep asking to visit, and of course they were the first to be invited to Jack's birthday party. Everyone is well here. Uncle Colin is getting better and am hoping to visit him with the boys this week, now that he will be out of ICU.

    Miss you all. xx

    I love you all. I wish you would come here. I want you to come here now. I want to go to the holiday with you. I want to give you something. We are watching a movie. I played with Spiderman a little bit. We drawed two pictures. I spewed in the wardrobe. Reece and Ben came over and I can climb up the pole now. Reece went down the pole.

    Love you to the moon and back. Seeya soon ya big baboon.

    I love you very much. I hope you could come back. What have you been doing on your holidays? Have you been fishing? Have you been at parks? I am watching a movie right now and I am on school holidays. Ben and his friend just came over. I love you very much. Jarrah and I have made pictures of Super Jack and Super Jarrah and we have swords and they are very good and mine is a little different to Jarrah's because it has spots on it.

    I am having a party for my birthday and I really want you to come over here for a sleep over. It's going to be a bonfire party. I wish you could come over for the bonfire party to all have glow sticks and burnt marshmallows and sparklers.

    Next time I go to swimming I will go to a different one because the other one is very far and this one is close to Kindy Ben's house. I love you all very much. I hope you could come here right now for a sleep over.

    Seeya later alligator don't forget the toilet paper. (Jack wants me to now write the piggy noise but not sure how to do that!!)

    Dear Jack and Jarrah
    We are watching the Aristocats now. We have seen lots of animals. Jack, we are sorry that we can't go to your birthday party but next time we can. we are having a good time now. We are in Mount Isa in Queensland. We crossed the border yesterday. We are having a really good time. We found a really cool park today with lots of spinning things and water fountains and a bike track. Yesterday I (Josh) almost fell off the bridge into the water because I wasn't watching where I was going on my bike. We had a little bonfire last night. We miss you lots and lots and love you to the moon and back. Can't wait to see you.
    xxxxxxxxoooooooooo
