A low key day today that started pretty late, although there was a lot of movement early as Miss Scarlett woke to $2 in the glass we had left for the the tooth fairy. She was beside herself with excitement and dragged the money around all day telling anyone who'd listened that the tooth fairy had given it to her. Max was in awe all day and eagerly added to Scarlett's story that she had seen the tooth fairy in the flesh by promptly adding "yeh, he came in the middle of the night". Too cute, and they were both on a high and bouncing off each other all day. We had a cooked breakfast this morning and ate it outside. Pretty much everyone around us was packing to move on so we had many farewells, all with grey nomads telling us how lovely our little family was or how the kids reminded them of their grandchildren. On to The Strand for a play in the water park for an hour or so. Max and Scarlett had a ball running in and out of the water while Mr Zachie chased the birds and kept me busy. Maxie befriended a little aboriginal boy and was devastated that he had to leave his new "best mate". We headed out to the main shopping centre for lunch and to do a few chores. The kids had an ice cream and we stopped in at a bargain basement shop to buy some travel bags in preparation for our trip to Hamilton Island on Wednesday. Home for spag bol for dinner and minestra fagoli for us. The kids were in bed by 7pm and passed out shortly thereafter. A quiet day but nice all the same.
