Big Ray Of Sunshine

What a perfect day. The sun was shinning galore. Apparently it was the first time in 3 months. Bailey and I  walked the caravan park this morning before anyone was awake. He managed to find every single puddle in the whole caravan park and proceeded to walk through them all. Once everyone was awake we all headed down to the beach where we stayed for many hours. It was a fantastic time. Brandon loved being in the ocean. Bailey was happy digging in the sand.

Eventually we headed home to wash off the combined suncream and sand that was sticking to almost every part of us. From here we decided to walk to the local shops to get some lunch. Everyone else on the Island Hamlet must have decided to do just the same thing as us because there was hundreds of people bombarding the take away. Once home we sat outside and ate our hot chips and drank our nice cool drinks.

We all traipsed up to the laundromat to do 2 loads of washing only to discover that we didn't have enough change for the coin operated washing machines. So we all traipsed back to the cabin where Brandon and I dropped off daddy and Bailey. By now it was very hot and we had already spent a lot of the day in the sun so Brandon and I walked down to the reception area to get some change for the washers. Once there we also hired a big tricycle bike on Brandon's insistence. He had been asking daddy and I for the past 2 hours so we hired one. Of course mummy had to ride it while the boys took turns being passengers. Once I maneuvered up the hill and across the bridge and over the speed humps Brandon and I got back to our cabin where we picked up our 3 bags of washing and rode up to the Laundromat-at the very back of the caravan park. For the next hour I cruised around with a different little boy beside me. We rode past all the campers and I admired the fact that they were all sitting around relaxing and drinking alcohol. I admired the fact that most of them were just relaxing and reading a book. By the 3rd time we past them I was wondering how old their kids were and questioned whether they had some time in their life ridden around a caravan park with little children.

Then the 2 boys and I ventured over to the jumping pillow where the boys jumped and jumped and jumped. Brandon and Bailey have gatecrashed a group of teenagers gatherings several times and they did it again now. It is always the same group of teenagers. They are all pretty good with it. Brandon just adores them. He stands in the middle of the group and tells them to either jump or to stop and watch him or to show them something. No matter what, he is the centre of attention. Just how he likes it. Bailey is a little more subtle but he is right there with Brandon all the time. He just goes around the outskirts. By now daddy has joined us so we decide to walk up to the local pizza and pasta shop and order some takeaway pizzas. Off we go again.

Dinner was delicious as we sat outside and gobbled them all up. Then the boys slept. Finally. Daddy and I sat outside on the deck. I drank a wine and daddy a beer and we thought how wonderful it was to have kids asleep.The sun was still shinning. We look forward to another sunny day tomorrow.
