We're Back

We are back from our family holiday to Brisbane to see Molly's Pop. Sorry we haven't updated sooner it has taken a couple of days to adjust back to life at home. We all had a fantastic time up there in the warmth, even if Molly did catch a cold. Molly handled the flights beautifully. She was asleep for most of the flight up to Brisbane. Mummy and daddy forgot to pack her rusks in her bag, so we improvised with a pringle. Molly was hilarious with the pringle she sucked all the flavouring off then gave the rest of the soggy chip to her daddy and the lady sitting behind us. She just made the flight a little more enjoyable.

Once we got to Brisbane we did a lot of the touristy things. We went to Southbank, where they have made a beach. They have put little water fountains in so that babies who are too little to really play they can crawl around in a safe place with no fears to the parents of them drowning. Molly loved the fountains when she figured out that she could crawl into the middle of the fountain where either mummy or daddy would have to get wet to come over to get her.

After a few days in Brisbane we took Molly to Dream World, she didn't stop talking the whole time we were there. She didn't quite know what to do when she came face to face with a koala at the petting zoo part. She had this look on her face of what is that, she then got the courage to touch the koala and she looked at us with a big smile and it was as if she was trying to say look at what I did. We took Molly on the Wiggles Big Red Car ride and she squealed and laughed the whole way around. Once we left the theme park we went for a little drive down to the Gold Coast and had lunch on the beach, Molly loved that if she threw her lunch on the sand a seagull would come closer and eat it for her, she kept looking at us to give her mopre food for her new friends at the beach. After lunch we went back to Pa's house. Molly thought it was great when Aunty Jana came over with her puppies Lolly and Mika. After Molly had finished playing with the puppies we all went into the spa. Molly was in her element. She laughed and splashed water everywhere when she found out that daddy could turn on the bubbles. Molly slept for the first time through the whole night well what mummy and daddy count as the whole night. She slept from 8:30 pm until 7:30 am it was a beautiful sleep in for mummy and daddy.

While we where up there Molly met daddy's friends who have also had babies around Molly's age. She had a great time playing with them. Molly was sad to see that we had to come home after she had time to play with the other babies.

On Saturday afternoon We went back to the airport where Molly made another new friend while we were waiting to board our plane home. The two children banged on the window evertime they saw the baggage trailer go under them. Once again while we where on the plane Molly was great. She had a little grumble while we were on our decent into Canberra just because of the change in altitude but a suck on her dummy and a little bit of pringle soon fixed that and she was great.

We can't wait to go again. We had such a lovely time up there and we promise Pa and Aunty Jana we wont leave it so long next time.
