Well here we are home after our week away at the gold coast QLD Australia, Alex was so excited we have been counting down to the day we left home, we did not expect the disaster zone at home though ( nothing to bad just the power switch tripped and all our frozen foods went to waste and stunk the fridge and Freezer out so we have been cleaning all day today so we can fill it again but the smell is still there even with Bicarb and Vanilla Oh well on a good note here is Alex's week starting with days 1 and 2 and yes she had a wonderful time we all did really :)
Day 1; Saturday 8th May 2010. Well today has finally arrived we head to the Gold Coast to get room key at the Crown Towers we have a lovely 2 bedroom apartment with a great view, we did all the cleaning etc at home so that while away it would be one less stress and something not to stress about when we get home it was a long night as both girls where excited and running on adrenalin well so was Pete and myself ROFL Our first day at the Gold Coast was for Alex’s Make-a-wish.
We drove down and arrived a little early at accommodation and the Gold Coast as Alex had too much excitement to stay at home. We went for a walk down the road from our room for the next week. (Crown Towers up on the 17th Floor.) We did some shopping like shoes for Robyn (she took them off just before getting in the car and they were forgotten til to late, rash vest for me and just food for the apartment to keep us fed for breakfast and snacks. We have a view of both sea and River so very nice and after our walk we know where the Aqua duck and Build a bear is for the days we are not doing the theme parks. We also went and checked out the gaming room Girls could not do much to their size (too short) then a lovely walk around the pool. We also have Indian for dinner. The girls both run themselves ragged which resulted in headaches for both Pete and myself but found a shower fixed it for us and a bath for the girls then we just watched the girls play (full-on lol) both girls were so tired by the end but still did not want to sleep and now at 8.50pm still up but very tired so waiting them out Alex crashed at 9pm but she had a headache and panadol was probably a good help with her sleeping, then we just waited out the crazy 3 yr old lol ( nah she is good just a typical 3 yr old lol and very full of energy so different to Miss Alex at that age who was such a dream toddler then she was diagnosed.)
Day 2; Sunday is also Mothers day. 9th May 2010. “Wish a Happy Mother’s Day to all you Mummies out there “. Another day with 2 excited girls and as we promised a pool (swim) to Alex who are we to not give her that as this is her wish week and it’s all about Alex, she always says she is sharing with Robyn so it’s cute to see them enjoy every bit together. Alex woke me up with a special Happy Mother’s Day how sweet when we all got up she gave me a present she made at school and as I opened it and read it all out I started to cry. It’s one of the hand print sayings and will be cherished by me, rest day NOT lol will not happen with my 2 hehe but that’s cool we are here for the week and have to enjoy it all.
So as soon as everyone was up and breakfast had been eaten it was pool time as Alex wanted everything and how do you tell a 5 yr old that we are here for the week and will be busy every day, and she will get tired quickly so Game room and pool today, lucky it’s a indoor heated pool as its cooler today and over cast not cold but we do not want colds we spent a few lovely hours in the pool today and then Robyn started to shiver so back to the room for a warm wash and lunch. Then a walk to check out the Aqua Duck and Build a bear but both where busy being mother’s day so have decided to leave that til later in the week when most are back at school.
We ended up going down for an ice block (paddle pop hehe) and then off to King Tutt Putt Putt golf for some time wasting Pete also had a cocktail at the bar belated Birthday for him we had Thai for dinner too very nice,

Day 3 will be posted soon
