rainy holidays!

Well - sunny Queensland wasn't so sunny when we finally got away for our break... a bit disappointing that the weather didn't cooperate - but oh well - it was still nice to get away. We had a chance to see some of the rainforest which was great - although we got a bit wet and muddy! Matthew loved being outside though and didn't mind the rain at all... too bad he had grown out of his only rain coat!!










This tree was slightly larger than Matty...

Daddy and Matthew in the rain!

There were some pockets of sunshine (about 20-30 minutes long) off and on during a few days which we tried to take advantage of! The beaches are so beautiful up there -and extremely long with hardly anyone on them... Matthew could run and run and he loved it!














Kirra Beach - just south of Surfer's Paradise...







Rainbow Bay - about a 2 minute walk from where we stayed! This was at 5 or 6 pm (I think the only sunshine we saw that was consistent for more than an hour!)




A few weeks ago, our friend Carly was visiting from South Africa with her new fiancee - David, and we went 4WD on the beach just near where we live. It was an awesome day and the water looked amazing - but it was FREEZING!! Carly and I braved it for a few minutes (very briefly!!) but the boys weren't up to the challenge :) Matthew would only walk in it - and play soccer (which he will gladly do anywhere...)!
