After we moved here, I offered to take my sister and her family plus our family, to the Gold Coast for a holiday.
This was as a thankyou to her for showing me around the whole Sunshine Coast when we were looking for school's and somewhere to live.
We decided to go the week before school holidays, because I thought that the kids - Ben especially - would struggle with large crowds and queues.
It was a fun holiday.
I booked a house at Ormeau, which was about 15mins away from Movie World, for us all. It was very comfy and nice, in a great location and I would recommend it.
Here are a few pics of the holiday.
The kids had an absolute ball. The favourite ride was Scooby Doo rollercoaster. It was a bit lame as it is apparently undergoing renovations and basically was completely in the dark (I suppose so no one could see said reno's being completed). Not to worry - the kids didn't care a bit - they loved it. It wasn't babyish and just scary enough to give them an adrenaline rush!!!
We went to Move World, Sea World and Paradise Country. I got everyone a yearly pass for the three parks and as it's only about 1.5hours away, we will be back.
The cats went to a Cattery and were well looked after. I can highly recommend this place:
The are really nice and have just taken over the business.
The dog went and stayed at Mum and Dad's and she was very spoilt!
Now we are up for 2 weeks of school holidays!
