Day 46

We were supposed to be leaving Surfers Paradise today but decided we were enjoying the sunshine too much so staying another week.  Had to move hotels which was a bit of a pain but the one we are in now is still really nice and has a lot more (free) activities for the kids.

Wet'n'Wild today!  Was a bit of a last minute decision as they had forecast rain, but then again they had been saying chance of a shower every day for the last week and it had been beautiful so we thought we'd give it a go.  The water is heated in all the pools so it wasn't too cold.  The water slides were great fun, even Kaleb was able to go on a couple of them by himself which he thought was 'awesome'. 
Caitlin and Josh went on 'The Black Hole' with Ian and I first up and were both terrified, but by the end of the day they went on together without us! 
We convinced them to go on the 'Kamikaze' and they were very brave for giving it a go (Josh did try and chicken out at the top) but both looked absolutely terrified and there was no chance of getting them on again.  We went on the Super 8 so we could race against each other and they loved the Mammoth Falls because we could all go on together. 
They had a huge big area of hot spas which was really nice towards the end of the day when it did start getting a bit cool.
 The kids thought the wave pool was great fun, and Josh says he'll go on the Sky Coaster with me if we go back again!

Time for a quick walk to the park for a little play and then back to the hotel for tea.  Catching up with Suzanne and Vaughan tomorrow - friends from playgroup, can't wait!!
