2012 Begins!

So the year begins,2012. We started by going to Brisbane to see my grand father. He had not met Mitchell yet and the blessing of having a "great" grandfather and being so close at the time was important.
Grandpa showed us around his new residence.
Mitchell loved all grandpa's kisses
Next stop was Gold Coast for 3 nights.
It was perfect weather and we truly enjoyed ourselves. (Sorry Mum you weren't feeling well)
Holidays are for sleep ins and good pancakes for breakfast...
Morning stroll to the beach/lagoon across the road
Nathan and l had always said we wanted to go to Seaworld together, well the time had come and we ALL had a great day.Worth it all!
At times it was hard to get a family photo. Mitchell was always attached to someones hip or lap..........who could that be???
You got it, POPPYS!
We,along with 10,000 others so we hear, packed into Seaworld, it was a very HOT day. Regular drink breaks were needed.
One of the high lights for Lexie was seeing Dora the Explorer, we just had to find her.
Enjoying our last rides for the day and we were fortunate enough to be allowed to have one more go on the log rides.....perfect on a hot afternoon, we did not mind getting wet at all
Of course no day is complete without abit of retail therapy at the gift shop

Hi Guys.

You look like you had a fantastic holiday. I have to say though Julz, what are you doing on stage with Dora? It looks like you have been moonlighting on your holidays.
Love PDTE
