We went to Moreton Island for three nights after Christmas - and managed to get the only three days of Sunshine in the last three weeks - very very lucky!!! We camped and the kids absolutely loved it. I was a little worried that Olivia would take off all the time, but she was so good at staying near by. The two big kids loved fossicking around, finding shells and sticks and lolling around in the hammock, and Olivia just kind of tollowed along behind. As for the water.... Olivia thought it was the best thing in the world. As long as her feet were touching the bottom of the ocean she refused to hold hands with anyone - even when a coming wave meant she could no longer touch. She thought the floatie things we took along were fantastic and pretty much laughed the whole time she was on/in them. She also loved playing in the sand and digging holes and destroying sand castles. Quite funny when a wave came up from behind (if we were sitting on the sand), and washed around her, she would squawk with indignation and then look confused when the wave went away again. - how dare it come and interupt her playing in the sand puddle! Annabelle and Matilda also became so much more confident in the water - still wont put their heads under, but happy to float in/on the toys and happy to wade out to either Dam or I up to about chest depth. We did camp on the western side of Moreton so the waves were very very tame which helped a lot. Saw dolphins in the morning and generally just had a very relaxing few days. Photos:
