A simple relaxing holiday - ulog #3

Hey Steemians,
We’ve been away the last few days and it has been quite nice and relaxing even though we don’t feel 100% having tummy upsets and all.
Here’s my view when I sit on the verandah and look into the sun.
We had a long car trip which consisted of my toddler eating most of the time and playing with his electronic bird the other times.

Grandma really knew what he likes as she packed him a lot of his favorite foods!

As soon as we arrived my toddler got acquainted with his new friends for the week! They had a lot of giggly squealing fun with the sofa cushions!

The first day we were here we went for a long walk along the coast, we didn’t expect it to take over an hour to get to the shops but it did, especially with a toddler in tow.

Here are some lovely sights along the way!

We were told we might be able to see koalas so we looked high and low and while we couldn’t find a single koala, what we found was..

A Tawny owl resting and trying to camouflage itself on the tree!

We also passed by a number of swings and he got to sit on one of them 😊


But not this nice picturesque one I posted yesterday as it was a bit unsafe for him.

Eventually we reached civilisation and had the richest simplest meal for lunch.. fish and chips!

Also a deep fried mars bar 😋

And we got to sit around a nice wharf overlooking the water.


He even got to chase some seagulls!

Especially as they were eying our food

Soon we decided to head back as it was way beyond the boy’s nap time.. we thought he would sleep during lunch but there was too much fun to be had!
So we made our way back and although we couldn’t not find any koalas we had one of our own instead 😉

It was pretty hard holding him the whole way back so we had to get him to walk for some of it too

And he kept picking up gravel on the ground so we had to give him things to hold and also “pull him along” 😅
That was surely the longest trip he’s ever done! It was the longest I’ve done since he was born for sure!
We were all exhausted by the end! I had a nap but he didn’t because he was full of adrenaline and wanted to play with the kids so oh well I let him..
