We went down to Howard Springs for the weekend for Eddie’s birthday. It was mostly filled with caravan park fun – jumping pillow, splashpark, swimming pools etc. He had a great time and he really loved the jumping pillow. M&I came down for the day and another family dropped by to see him too.
We went down to a caravan park in Katherine for four days with three other families, our second trip in the camper trailer. Everything went really well and the kids loved it. On the first full day we went to Mataranka and Bitter Springs, I was surprised that Bitter Springs was much better. I had never been there before. On the second we went to the caves which was interesting but expensive and I would not repeat it – I have been to much better caves before, e.g. Buchan.
With our brand new camping trailer we went to our favourite place at Cooinda. The trailer went really well! The kids loved it and it did make things easier.
Pool and beers the first day, and we went to Ubir and Nourlangie on the second. Eddie absolutely loved the walks and make our life easier. Maggie had a great time as she always does out in nature. However we weren’t in school holidays so Eddie was a bit disappointed there weren’t too many kids to play with on the jumping pillow
We all went to litchfield, it wasn’t fully opened yet but we want to Florence, Buley and the picnic spots. The kids had a great time although the water was still quite fierce, and I think the highlight was a bold lizard coming up to us at Florence trying to raid some of our picnic.
Claire and Maggie were away for a few days so I decided to take Eddie down the barra farm again. I gave him a few options and this was what he said he wanted to do.
He was instantly fascinated by a Caterpillar on a branch that he found and carried it around everywhere he went.
We got a couple of fish, he is interested in the fish but today he was not that interested in winding the fish up.
