The Birthday Boy turns 5

Our little man turned five!!! We woke up in the morning for presents in bed, followed by a trip to the post office to pick up a bunch of birthday parcels - thanks so much for sending parcels, that was such a great surprise for Leo (and everyone else who was in the post office at that time).

The party was fun, we had met a great family with five children (the Hortons) so mixed with our three, we had a lot of laughs... We set up the campers kitchen with colorful cloth and bird balloons, did a treasure hunt for gold choccie coins, apple bobbing, played musical statues, Simon says and rosso's crazy act-like-an-animal game...

Then we had some food and a submarine cake with smartie windows and a marshmallow periscope (as requested by the birthday boy).


The submarine birthday cake - little brother is having a piece of this cake too!

The party then all headed off for an afternoon walk around the coast of Bicheno - rock hopping and skimming shoes in puddles, then it was back to camp for a carbonara dinner.

At 8pm we drove back to the headland to see penguins, then  back to camp for some sparkler-action and collapse into bed at about 9pm.  What a party day. Our big five year old boy went to bed super-stoked!!

    Hi,
    I hope you get my comment this time, as I was having problems getting through. I am following your trip and find it fascinating what you are doing. Wished I was there with you. Thank god the caravan is doing what it suppose to, give you a home in the wilderness. Although I had the hope of doing what you are doing, I do not think I would ever have gone. Now with my balance problem it is no longer possible. Well keep up the good work and at least we all get a taste of your adventures. This blog is fantastic and I am enjoying it very much. I am very happy for you lucky ducks to have this wonderful experience. Cheers good luck happy travels. Paul Mary Lara and Adriaan
    P.S. Hope you solved the hot water problem!
