Not the best night sleep last night as new neighbours have moved in and they were keen to party - the pitfalls of a popular caravan park. The retic was also on throughout the night and I woke up needing the loo!! Needless to say I needed a lie in this morning. Once up we did the breakfast marathon and then got stuck into school work. We concentrated more on math's this morning and by the time we got round to reading and English the boys had shut down - two ho...

The kids all had a sleep in this morning and as Nick and I didn't want to wake them we lay in bed reading despite the lure of coffee. I finished another book - I haven't read so much in ages! We spent the morning doing more schoolwork. It takes about 2 hours to get everyone through a bit of English and math's and they all like the one on one tuition. The boys are not as advanced mathematically as we had thought, so we hope that this year away will at least im...

Everyone woke up around 6am but dozed until 8am. Beautiful morning today so we decided to walk the beach before breakfast which was magic. We were half way along the beach when we realised the date - happy anniversary, it's been 14 years!!! Nick made everyone breakfast while I washed more bedding and then it was time for school! We've decided to teach the boys one at a time, as they compete too much otherwise rather than think about the correct answer, so one ...

I made two discoveries this morning - 1. This place is cheap because it is RIGHT next door to the airport. We were woken at 6am by three planes taking off in very quick succession. It didn't matter too much as we nodded back off to sleep again and eventually got up around 8am. Discovery 2 - I made coffee with the Pura Light Start that wasn't frothing and now it is. Turns out it depends on how cold the milk is and if it's been in the Engel which is colder then...

Woken up by the wind this morning as it sounded like the awning was about to take off. A few spots of rain and we were girded into action to pack up the beds. The kids were all keen to help and we we ended up on the road early at 9am. It was a straightforward drive through to Adelaide and we even navigated our way through the city to the caravan park without any mistakes. We are staying in a Big 4 park on West Beach. It has a couple of pools, 2 air trampolin...
