A beautiful week in Cairns (by Grace)

After going to Lucinda we headed to Cairns, I was so excited! Finally we arrived in Cairns.We decided since it was Em's birthday we would stay in a big 4 , actually it is the best caravan park in Australia. When we arrived,  a super friendly lady took us on a buggy and gave us a little tour around, there is sssoooo much to do! I just knew it would just be the best week EVER! 

On the tour we discovered that there was a HUGE jumping pillow and another one too, two pools that both had slides, a splash park that that had 2 big slides, a small slide a HUGE and awesome Pineapple that tipped on you,movies every night,  a pancake breakfast,a games room, a tennis court,playground,mini golf, quoits, snorkelling & water aerobics. I have told you every thing there is, I should of said what isn't there!?

On the second day (Tuesday) it was a special day because it was Emma's birthday.First we gave her her presents. The presents were a dance top, a diary, a chocolate pen and bunchems. She llllloved them. Then we did an hour of school work,.I know you're thinking, Really? on Emma's birthday! We then went to the lagoon it was sooo warm. If you stay in Cairns you really should visit the lagoon. Our Nanny,Grandpa,and some of our cousins all called to wish Emma a super happy birthday.

By the end of our week stay, we had done most of the activities at the park. We did snorkelling with our friends, putt putt with dad and our friends, watched two movies at the movie nights, played in the games room, played quoits (which we didn't do well at) and looooots of bike riding! We also went to the pool and water park a few times and jumped on the jumping pillow,  it was as good as your favourite dream coming true!!!!! My favourite things were playing in the pools and water park.

We made some friends at the caravan park. Their names were Amber and Lauren .They are on a big trip too. They have been travelling for 7 months so far and they don't know how long they will go for. We did quoites, putt putt and snorkelling with them. We also played at their camp and our camp. We had a blast.

One day we decided to go to Kuranda and it was really good. There were heaps of markets and shops. We went on a little bush walk. Dad said to us that if we didn't  do any of the butterfly park or venom land attractions that he would buy us a double scoop ice-cream. Can you guess what we all said?!!We all got green apple sorbet (yep we learned our lesson from last time). Emma and I also got passionfruit and Jai got mint and chocolate chip.  It was as good licking 20000 lolly pops !!!!We also went to this candy shop and got super good candy. We then had to go.

We have now sort of got into a schedule for the school work. We do 1-2 hours in the morning and then 1-2 hours after lunch. We then get to have most Fridays off!!! We normally try to get ahead by doing some work in the car so that we don't have to do it later.

Anyway, that is what we got up to in Cairns. You really should try to visit. I wonder what we will get up to in Cooktown.
