Queensland catch-up

This post is purely for the Queensland folks :) Every year we visit James' family up in Brisbane. Last year we also stayed for about 5 nights in the Gold Coast here, at Tallebudgera Creek caravan park. We got a special deal on a lovely 3-bedroom cabin situated right next to the estuary's beach. Miss H was in heaven! Our days were filled with sand, sand and more sand, as well as a visit from the Brisbane mob, a trip to a theme park and a lovely drive up to the Hinterlands.

Miss H loves catching up with family. It doesn't matter where they are or how long it's been since she saw them last. Up above are some shots of Miss H hanging out with her Aunt Sarah and Uncle Pat.

If Miss H wasn't making sand castles, she was chasing seagulls or making silly faces for the camera with her Dad.

I posted the photos out of order, but that's okay! The pictures above were taken in Brisbane, where we spent some time with Miss H's Papa and Grandma 'Laine, as well as Aunty Sarah and Uncle Pat. The photo of the sleeping beauty having an afternoon nap is a very very rare event these days! I still miss those afternoon naps of hers and we lost them a full year ago.


Above and below are some photos taken in the Gold Coast Hinterlands. I can't remember exactly where we drove to, but it was beautiful. The photo below is one of my all-time faves and graced the cover of a few photo books given out for Christmas a few weeks ago.



Well, that's the last of the catch-up photos for last year's trip. This year I'm not quite sure what's going to happen, as I only have about 2 weeks off study this year and I don't think I'm going to be able to get away in that time. Not really feeling very enthusiastic about that, I have to say. But this is my last year. Yay! Miss H and James might still be able to make it up to Brisbane without me, though being in the house without them is going to feel very weird.

Before I go, I have to say that I hope Mother Nature can go easier on Queensland for a while. Please. The floods up there are devastating enough. So far, everyone we know up there seems to be okay, though Pat and Sarah are trapped on an island. Come home safe okay?!!!!
