We had another great weekend. We started Saturday with our weekly walk to Cabarita (the next beach community - about an hour walk) for lunch. This is a much enjoyed part of our weekend as the boys ride their bikes (and speed down all the beach paths, downhill to the sand and back - there are nine such paths on this walk) while Grant, Elyssa and I walk. After returning from our walk we went to the park in Kingscliff where the family was having a picnic. The kids all played, climbing everything in sight, for a couple of hours. JJ and Denver came home with us for a couple more hours of really loud fun. After the boys left we had Penny, her boyfriend, Rog and her daughters Amy and Lexi over for dinner. It was a long, long, loud, loud day by the time everyone had left. We had a great time!
On Sunday we packed a nice lunch and set out for a hike in Springbrook National Park. It is about an hour drive and worth every minute. We decided to do the Twin Falls Circuit walk which was a 4 KM, 1.5 - 2 hour walk. This was probably the most amazing place we have been since we arrived in AU. The rainforest was beautiful, the mountains and views were breathtaking and the waterfalls were fantastic. Check out the photos on our picasa page to see for yourself.
After hiking we spent a few hours at the family farm in Cudgen. The kids (David, Colin, Elyssa, JJ, Denver, Nicki and Melissa) played on rope swings, rode bikes and just hung out. Cheryl took Elyssa for little bike rides and walks. Nicki made some delicious brownies (David got to lick the bowl - right place at the right time!).
Another great weekend indeed!
