At the end of March we met Jim at the Brisbane airport and stayed 3 nights on the trendy Gold Coast. We surprised the girls with 3 theme parks: Sea World, Movie World, and Wet n' Wild. Jim's idea, and a great one! By the end we were all exhausted, except Jim. The first 3 photos are from Sea World, after that I left the camera home so I could keep up. It was a slow time of year so most line-ups were reasonable or not at all.
Notice Mercedes's lack of front teeth. She lost a top front one the morning we picked up Jim. She was also just tall enough to go on the rides Kyra could go on. (One less cm and there would have been tears).
At Sea World we loved the polar bear and the roller coaster. How many times did we go on that? Kevin gave up after 2 and took pictures instead.
At Movie World the kid's favourites were the Bat Man ride which shot you straight up in the air and dropped you, and the Scooby Doo ride and coaster. The Superman roller coaster was only for tall people (I barely reached the marker!) so we took turns going on it while the girls declared hight restrictions unfair. It was awesome!
At our campground Jim slept in the tent we'd bought for the girls. He had a little green frog friend the whole weekend, hanging out between the fly and the tent roof. When we took the tent down he put the frog on the window of the van. It hung out for awhile, then the girls took him to a cool, shady garden.
What a fun, crazy weekend. Thanks Jim!
