Yallingup - Aug and Oct 2015

---

The kids are both in school these days and their schools both have mid term breaks where we get a Friday and a Monday off so we have been tending to head to Yallingup each time. It is a nice break though as only a three hour drive south of Perth you are in a gourmet child friendly oasis! And quite a few other school families think the same thing and have houses down there so we can all catch up and enjoy some delicious food 😊

We tend to stay at the 4elements farmstay still as it is relaxing, comforting and such a great location where we can walk to the Bootleg Brewery in the afternoon so the kids can have a play. During the aug stay the owners put on a huge bonfire with marshmallows for the kids at night.

So August and October (and the following March even) were all like this! There are so many activities for kids... A wooden fenced maze, a 100yo hedge maze, underground caves, a lighthouse, beaches, ice creameries and minigolf... And we have now done them all 😊

Then for lunch we tend to find an amazing restaraunt and catch up with friends... And on the way home stop at a brewery or winery before going having a BBQ at home and playing board games 😊 if you are ever down that way pop in to every single winery, providire or shop as there are so many surprises down there!

The August trip was slightly different though with the Little Miss breaking an arm! Not even playing in the playground, but instead standing on a step! All good though and you can see one day later she was feeling better eating chocolate at the Chocolate factory 😊
