12th November - Newcastle toon

At last we have got to have some 'home normality' in our lives. Thank you to Paul and Glenda for letting us stay with them and the three little monsters at their new home in Newcastle.


We turned up and dropped off the hire car at the hire car place. Said goodbye to yet another Getz and met the Hillier troop. We got a tour of Newcastle and the family as well. We also stopped off at Lake Macquarie for an ice cream and to see where Paul and Glenda got married.

The ice cream adventure didn't start too well as the temperature was a rapidly cone reducing 30 ish degrees. Nathan, 5, and Jack, nearly 3, both got chocolate, Isabelle, just 1, got some of dad's. The best bit was not the fact that ice cream was all over the faces and hands, it was when Jack stabbed Nathan up the bum with his cone. It looked like Nate had pooped himself and was duly teased by all.

When we got back to the newly built and massive house, we got treated to a proper roast dinner, something we have been craving for quite some time and it was first class. Then we got to play some games and get arrested by Policemen Nathan and Jack.

The next day we all set off down the park for a family get together for Auntie Gladys' 90th birthday, she didn't look a day over 70. We played some cricket and football (the real football, none of this australian rubbish). I got a great picture of Nathan taking a penalty and it smacking poor Jack right in the head, perfect timing for me, not so much for Jack.



After the picnic lunch we headed to Glenda's brother Gary and his wife Jodie's house for a dip in the pool. All dove in including the grand parents as well. There was a lot of ball throwing and dunking and pruning in the water. Poor Jack yet again got whacked on the head a few more times. Nathan was like a fish with the flippers on and even little Isabelle splashed about and got dunked by Mummy and Granny.

Then we got fed well and got to play some eye-toy on the play station. I got thrashed by everyone much to Nathan's delight. Thank you to Gary, Jodie, the Grand parents, the kids and especially Paul and Glenda for making us so welcome!

Tired as anything all went to bed pretty early.
