Jaws & baby Jaws

You can see the worry in her face!

The ride that had to be halted to let Megan off, you can see she doesn't look too keen already!

Well this weekend has been extremely busy, I was collected from work on Friday night by Ian (AKA Marine McKenzie, he has had a hair cut and been scalped again!!) to be driven directly to the Gold Coast Crystal Bay waters resort to meet Pat, Chris, Anita, Grant, Holly & Jayce who had already spent the day there.

We were all staying together in a 3 bedroomed unit which had fabulous views over the bay. We had a lovely Friday evening with a takeaway & a few drinks then early to bed as we had planned to go to Seaworld very early the next day!.

We all got up at 6.30am had a large cooked breakfast then off we all went for a full day at seaworld. We all hit the first ride which was the log flume (apart from Jayce as he is only 1!), however I was very surprised that Megan went on as she is like a safety officer...a bit like Julie Mullooly!!!!. I think that Megan was just swept along by the moment and before she knew it she was staring a steep drop in the eye & alot of water!!! she screamed alot!!!

We then went to Sesame Street to let the kids play on all the kids rides.... Megan loved it apart from one which had to be stopped as she was crying too much. The whole ride had to be halted & Megan had to be removed!. The ride is the one with the pic where Megan has her hands in the air!.

We then went to see the Dolphin show which was fab we had front row seats which was amazing to see them all jumping etc. After that we were all cream crackered so we went back to the unit for nibbles & obviously a few drinks!!

On Sunday me, Ian & Megan went to Movie World ( when we bought our tickets to seaworld, as we are perm residents in Brisbane we could get an unlimited pass to seaworld, movieworld & wet & wild until the end of June for no extra cost!!!!!!...which was only £60 for all of us!!!). So we decided to take Megan to see all the characters....it was fab, Megan loved it. We met Bugs Bunny, Scooby Doo, went on the 4D Shrek ride & watched the Scooby Doo live show. Megan also went on lots of other rides 2 of which included cars, which she had to operate herself!!!!!. The first was a little taxi which was on a circuit...she spent too much time looking at us & smiling at the camera, that she spent the other half rebounding off the walls in her taxi...bless her!!. Next were the kids dodgems, Megan ended the ride in the same spot as she started....because for the whole 5 minutes she spent it doing a 360 degree turn, she just couldn't fathem out the steering wheel, she loved it though!.

We have had a fantastic weekend!!!. Thanks to Anita & Grant for organising it & feeding us!!!. Just to add... I left Ian in charge to bring some stuff for us, as he wasn't working on the Friday & I was!!!!. So off he went to the Supermarket, when we arrived at the unit he got out some blueberry muffins, some swiss rolls, some doritos & some sweet chilli dip!!!!!!!?????????. Mmmmm....nutritious or what????...now we have a 3 year old who likes milk & needs vitamins etc,etc. What a moron, no breakfasts, no lunches & no dinners, just cakes!!!! He is getting a list next time!.
