Nelson Bay
Mum and Dad decided that we all needed to go on a holiday. Dad has had a busyperiod at work with Christmas and Mum is heading back to work soon. So it was a great time for all three of us to go away. I was getting quite excited thinking of going away. But at the same time a little nervous - how was i going to sleep in a strange place? Would i Like it? So i packed my pram and we all headed off.

Mum said that the drive would take a while - as im not sure how long 'a while' is - they told me i should sleep all the way through and have some dinner when we got there. Which I did. I slept the whole way - over 2hrs I was told!

I had a little sleep and some lunch then we hit the pool. I was the talk of the pool area in my new pink one peice. The good thing was that it covered my very daggy pink water nappy! As you can see from this photo - i was warming up with a few exercises with my toys. Mum thought it would be rather cute pushing me into the corner of the couch. Was fun for a while until i fell flat on my face. Dad thought it was the funniest thing he has seen! The water was fun! Mum and Dad said that i am a true water baby. Thats good!

 

After the first day the weather turned nasty. It was cold and dark. And wet stuff was falling from the sky. We all went a little stir crazy stuck indoors for a few days. We went for a drive to look at all the lovely scenery. When we came back there was a break in the clouds and mum and i went for a swim. Mum made me wear a silly pink hat - all the other babies laughed at me - but Dad said that I had to wear it.

All in all the weather made Nelson Bay a little dull. But it was good to get away. I didn't sleep very well when we were there but Mum and Dad kept me entertained.

Wollombi
I wanted to go and visit Grandma and Grandpa on the way home. They were at Wollombi - so mum and dad drove me there on the way home. We spent a few days there. I met Jock, Roy and Comic. They are nice horses - a little smelly!


Was quite hot up there. The temperature got up to 40 degrees and in the night time it was about 15 - a little cold for me. So i just got mum and dad up a few times during the night to tuck me back in.

We all went into Wollombi for lunch. Was a nice little cafe. I had milk for entree and i had milk for my main. My aunty michelle was up there for a day or two as well. It was nice to spend some time with grandma and grandpa.

I slept all the time in the car on the way home. I was nice to go to Wollombi for the first time. I had a good time.

Bye Bye,
