Gold Coast

January 1st – January 20th

Our retired friends, Joy and Bruce that we have met on our trip are also in Queensland. They came to visit us today. It was really nice to see them again.

My mum, dad and my niece Cassie arrived here on the 3rd January. They are staying here for two weeks.

I was really happy to see them all as I have not seen any of my family since we left home.

Mum and Dad are staying at mum’s cousins house and Cassie is staying here with us for two weeks. We went out to mum’s cousin’s Patsy’s house a few times. They have a really nice house at the bottom of Mount Tambourine.

We did all the theme parks again when Cassie arrived. Cassie is like Jesse and she will go on any ride. She is having a really good time going to all the parks with us. Emily is really enjoying having her big cousin here with her.

It was raining when we first got there.

Our friend Marc, Fiona and the kids arrived in Queensland so we went to Movie World with them. Jesse stayed with them for two nights. He had a really good time as we have not seen Kyle and Jaxson for about 12 months.

Two weeks passed by very quickly, it was sad saying goodbye to mum, dad and Cass. Emily was also very sad that Cassie was leaving. She loved having her big cousin here.
