Christmas Eve and, like last time we were in Australia for Christmas, the weather is not nearly as good as it could be. We started the morning at Toowoon Bay Beach. Thought it'd be sheltered as always, but a huge wind almost had us blown away, not to mention how rough the water was - it's Toowoon Bay for Christ's sake. We moved around the beach and found a protected spot which was good for everyone and we stayed until the early afternoon.
Because of the boys love of fire trucks, we stopped at the station at Bay Village so they could see an Aussie fire truck, and we could drop off some Christmas goodies for the good folks who are protecting us and not spending Christmas Eve with their families. We stopped at Mark & Lisa's house on our way to dinner at The Entrance. Always happy to show off the new favorite children to the old favorite children. We met Dad and Kathleen in the park and had fish and chips for dinner. Also had the great fortune of running into Michele and Bowie (again from high school). It may be 20 years since I'd seen them. Unfortunately the weather wasn't very Christmassy so we didn't stay for Carols in the Park, but we walked around the carnival before heading over to the ice cream shop, where Caitlyn took care of desert.
Am excited for tomorrow. The boys first Christmas in Australia. Hopefully the first of many. Lets just hope the weather does its best.
