Chalky Beach in the Sun – Sunday 10th April

On Sunday, it was bright and sunny. So we went on a boat. It was a big boat with 4 bedrooms and a top that was open. I sat on the top and got extremely wet because the wave were splashing up. When we got there, I swam from the boat to the shore which was a long way. After a while, I went on the small boat and I went into the rubber ring attached to it. It was wet at the bottom but it didn’t go right in the sea because there was bit that you could sit on.

I played on the beach and me & Skyla found coconuts and I found a bit of coral. Then I swam back to the boat and we went home. It wasn’t really splashy on the way back.

Then we had our Donald & Douglas story. They tricked the Wicked Witch of the Wind AGAIN by Glenda the Green Cleaner – because the Fat Cleaner was painting a room green and he fell off his step ladder and got himself covered in green with his paint pot stuck on his foot. And the Wicked Witch of the Wind thought he was Glenda the Green Giant but was in fact Glenda the Green Cleaner!

The Beach in the Rain - Saturday 9th April

On Saturday, I woke up and had my breakfast, went to see Mum & Daddy and played Top Trumps with Mum. Then we went to the beach and there was a special kids club where you could do different activities. One was to make a bracelet. Two was to paint a butterfly or any other thing. Three was to get your face painted. I did all three of them but didn’t do the hoops.

Before we did the activities, I went in the rain and built a cake in the sand and a main course – seaweed and sand. What had you do was to get some sand and seaweed. You made the sand into a circle like a cake. Put some seaweed in the sand. Cover it with sand. Then put it in the oven and it cooks then you are ready.

In the Donald & Douglas story, the Wicked Witch of the Wind came back and they tricked her again with Glenda the Green Giant...but it was really the Fat Cleaner! She heard the noise of Glenda the Green Giant but it was really the Fat Cleaner – but she didn’t know because she didn’t know the Fat Cleaner!

The Big Disasters - Friday 8th April

I woke up and went to see Mum & Dad and had breakfast. Then we were going into town and me & Skyla got into the buggy. I was sitting in the seat next to the driver seat and Skyla was in the driver seat. I accidentally pressed my foot on “go” and took it off “park”. The buggy started to roll backwards so Skyla immediately pressed “stop”. Then Mum came out and said if you take your foot off “stop” it won’t roll away. Skyla said “yes it will”. Mum said “no it won’t”. So Skyla took her foot off the “stop” for a minute and it started to roll away and we were still plugged in. So she pressed “stop” again.

The next disaster was me falling down the steps. I was just walking down the steps when I slipped and went “boom, boom, boom” down the steps. I hit myself on the knee and the head.

Then it went to the last disaster – Mummy pulling my tooth out because I wanted her to. So Mum twisted my tooth all the way around and then pulled it. Then I had to put it in a tissue and Mum looked after it until I could put it under my pillow.

Me & Skyla played with our Polar and Koala and did some colouring. Then we had our Donald & Douglas story about the Wicked Witch of the Wind coming to visit the dragons. They tricked her with “Glenda the Green Giant, after tricking her by sending her to Outer Bulgaria which is a place that doesn’t exist. Then me and Skyla went to bed.

Cuddling a koala - Thursday 7th April

When I got up, I went swimming in the cold pool and then we went down to the zoo where we saw the snake. At 12 o’clock, I held and cuddled a koala. So did Megan. The koala was soft but heavy. I thought it was large enough to hold me. Robert held a snake which I touched and it was very hard.

We went saw the crocodile. It was opening its mouth slowly. We saw the parquet’s and kangaroos. We also saw the koala that I cuddled which was eating some leaves. It grabs on to the tree with its really big claws and then pulls the leaves off.

Then we walked to the ice cream shop where we got an ice cream. I had vanilla with a chocolate flake. Afterwards we got into our buggies and went to the beach. I swam in the sea. It was very warm. [I was telling you to put that in capital letters by pressing the caps lock]. IT WAS VERY WARM. I went very far out but it only went up to my neck. Then Skyla came to the beach too and we went into a swimming pool near the beach. Then we went to another pool and I swam in that too.


I thought Skyla was having pizza but she wasn’t because they changed their plans. So they came home too [and she whispers – I had some crisps]. We had spaghetti for tea and in “Donald & Douglas” the Dad Donald came back from his holidays and Douglas pretended that he hadn’t eaten all the ice cream which he had. But he used the ice cream that his Dad had given him to put one scoop in floor 1, 1 scoop in floor 2, 1 scoop in floor 3, 1 scoop in floor 4, 1 scoop in floor 5, 1 scoop in floor 6, 1 scoop in floor 7 and 1 scoop in floor 8 and that was it.

I went to bed with Skyla since we were having a sleep over again.

Sandwiches and ice-cream - Wednesday 6th April

We built a cubby house and I took pictures of my Koala in different places. Then we had lunch which Daddy made. We had avocado, tomato and cheese toasted sandwich. I did some colouring and went swimming. It was nice and sunny and I did some reading on the really big chair.

Then we had pasta for dinner and went to bed. Skyla has a sleepover for the second night. Dad told us a Donald and Douglas story, 2 dragons who live in his office. They went on holiday but Douglas got left behind and ate all the ice-cream in the office. Then Donald bought him a present which was the biggest ice cream tub that he could find and he went “no, no”. Then I went to bed with Skyla and that was the end of the day once more.

Swimming a lot - Tuesday 5th April

I woke up, had breakfast and went swimming. First in the cold pool and then in the hot pool. Megan did 50 lengths so I did 60 lengths in the cold pool and then got into the hot pool again. Then I got out and did some colouring.

Then we had lunch. I did some more colouring and played with my Koala and Skyla. At the end of the day we went out for dinner and I had pasta and vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce. Then we went to bed and Skyla had a sleepover.

On the airplane again - Monday 4th April

Very early in the morning, Daddy woke me up and I put my shoes on. Then we took a taxi to the airport and went to bag drop and dropped our bags. Then we went to Security, putting our stuff down in a tray and it went through the machine. We met Uncle Adrian at a cafe and I had a chocolate croissant.

We went to the gate and me & Megan went to the bookstore. I got 2 books – they were called Emma the Easter Fairy and Go Girl Sleepover.

We went back to Gate 25 and got on the aeroplane for a 2 hour journey. I spent most of my time colouring and some of the time playing on Skyla’s iPod Touch. She was playing on mine until mine ran out of battery.

When we got there, we hired a buggie and I was in Skyla’s. But then Mum moved me to one without a cover and it was really, really rainy. Finally we got to the house in Hamilton Island. There are 2 houses joined together with a pathway to the door at the top. My room is one house and Skyla’s is in the other. They are both are nearly the same except one has a kitchen and the other has a lounge. I did some colouring and then went to bed.
