Our Holiday -part 1

So were into day 3 of our Queensland Holiday. I feel like it's all going way too fast and were contemplating staying on here at the resort a few more nights..

1000 kms in the car on the first day. We stayed in a lovely little motel Called Tommos lodge in Narrabri and had the most refreshing swim in the salt water pool just after we arrived. It was heaven. The staff there were so friendly and we'd definitely stay there again.
Second day started off ok, and with just over 600kms to our destination we felt positive we'd made a good decision in driving (instead of flying) but by the end of the day and what should have taken 6 hours took us nearly 9 hours. We were so over it. Ask me once we return if id recommend doing it..

I felt a tad silly as we unpacked the car and it took 2 whole trolley loads (you know those tall trolleys like at hotels in the movies) to take our stuff upstairs to our room. But, I am so glad we bought so much- we've needed everything so far.
The boys duplo blocks, books, a tin full of matchbox cars, stacking cups, sticker books, you name it- all the boys favourite toys of the moment here with us.. Don't let this fool you- weve been non stop since we arrived, but even in the quiet times the boys are still occupying themselves with things to do- and they're happy to have familiar things from home. We also bought their 2 seater flip out sofa, again were all thankful for that.

The resort were staying at Zagames Paradise Resort- Family orientated. My review so far- Im fairly happy with it.. Our package includes 4 hours of childminding service per child per day. The rooms are clean and ours is spacious. The splash parks are to die for (if you have little ones this is soooo much better value than wet and wild where they can barely do anything) the food- well its resort priced but oh my is it delicious. Were doing a mix of supermarket bought (and prepared in our room with only a microwave) some bistro resort meals, and some we go out for.

The boys are exhausted everyday and so are we.. The one hour time difference from Victoria to Queensland is still playing havoc with our body clocks- especially where food is concerned. I think I may gain a couple kgs while Im here.

Were hoping to do SeaWorld tomorrow. Lots more things to see and I know Memphis will love the Dolphins and sharks. Oh and the new Pirate water theme park- just perfect after his party.

I must dash for now, Memphis is due to go play for 4 hours with the other kids in the kids play zone- we took him alone to Time Zone game centre this morning while Fox was in care, so now we get some one on one with Fox.

I hope you're all well, will be back in the next couple of days.
