Days 6 - 8 Christmas

---

Hi Everyone



We have had a lot of fun over the last couple of days.

Day 6.

Uncle Glenn left. We went to the Sawtell Bakery for some yummy food. We met our friends Belinda, Luke and Gary. I really like Luke. We have a lot in common. They took us then to the headland at Sawtell beach. It was low tide. Belinda took us over to this Island. She use to go there when she was a little girl. There was a beautiful rock pool there. We swam in it. We saw all types of creatures like crabs, birds and shell creatures. Mum said it smelt like sea lions. Dad told her it was the bird doo doo. Luke, James and I were dare devils. we got there over the rocks.

Day 7

It was raining so we went to Bellingen, Dorrigo and Armidale. The road we went on was called Waterfall Way. There are lots of waterfalls as you drive along. The first few were really cool. Dad loved it. (boring. I pretended to be asleep after we saw the first 4 waterfalls). We stopped at the old butter factory. I had my first sticky date pudding (yum!) and saw my first naked statue. (Disgusting). We went to a cool fish hatchery called Dutton Fish farm. They breed brown trout and rainbow trout. We saw a video and then fed the fish. They all jumped out at once when we threw the food. It was fascinating. It was a long trip. When we got to Armidale, dad and I went to this 2nd hand book shop. I got 3 books and so did dad. I got 2 Goosebumps and Quirky Tales (Paul Jennings).

Day 8

Christmas eve. Uncle Glenn came back. We took him to Sawtell. He loved it...We have a great action shot of cheeks at the rock pools. We had a fun day. We swam, played and rode our bikes to the river. Mum and I went for a walk around the town to look at the lights. They were great. I put some biscuits, carrots and milk out for Santa. Mum ate one and I was angry with her.

Day 9

Christmas! Santa found us!! I got some Pokemon cards, some clothes (boring) and the family got an Ipad 2. James got Donkey Kong Wii (he broke the last one), clothes (boring). Janice, Fiona, Andrew and Richard gave us this great advent calendar. We have been opening these since 1 December. Today was a big present! I got a travel journal (which is really cool) and James got his favourite books, Cat in the Hat. It made me think of them everyday. We had a good day. I missed everyone a bit but I can call everyone when I want to. We swam, played canyon at the beach and had a big walk to Tuckers Rocks. We all went to bed early.



Bye

Keeping in Touch
I found out how to read all this on Google after Tina told me the link. It is so good to be able to read all about your travels. I can't get over how much the boys have grown since I last saw them. Hopefully when you make it to Perth we can catch up. We are off to Canada and Alaska on 15th July 2012 and really looking forward to the trip (probably the last big trip we will do as the Super can only stretch so far). Thyanks for the Christmas message and now that I have your mobiloe number will keep in contact. Lots of love to all and best wishes for a happy, healthy and safe 2012. Lots of love. Aunty Pam & Uncle Rod.
