wennerfamily: Your First Easter - Our First Family Holiday (Wollongong)

For the 4 day Easter long weekend we decided to do a trip to Wollongong and stay with Kiala and Trav Powell. We have been wanting to get down there and see them since they moved out from the states and what better time than for them to meet you and for us to have our first family holiday :-)

We woke up on the Friday morning. We knew that it was going to be the only Easter we could get away with the Easter Bunny coming early to our house so we didn't have to take your Easter basket with us.

We got on the road at 9:30am and we got down there just before midday which was really good timing. We thought we would have terrible traffic being the long weekend. We only stopped once and that was at Sublime Point Lookout. Was very pretty. You did do well for your first few hour trip in the car. You just slept them kicked your toys for the other part of the trip.

When we got there, got all your things sorted in your room and you were fed we went down to the lighthouse walk near the CBD. It was such a pretty walk. You got to see your first lighthouse too. It was really cold so dad put you in his jumper and mum zipped you up. It actually worked so well you fell asleep in there and had a good ol nap.

On Saturday we went to the beach there. This was your first time with us putting you in the water. It was a tiny bit cold for you but you seemed to love it too. Your a crazy lil munchkin. After you went in we sat up on the beach and watched everyone else in the water. Daddy went body boarding. It was such a nice day and you fell asleep on the sand. I think the waves put you to sleep :-)

We then went up to Mt Keira lookout. Trav is in a running group and they had a big run so we met up with him afterwards.

Kiala and your Dad (being the Americans) were talking about their family traditions for Easter. We didn't really have any growing up and i'm really keen to start some run traditions for the holidays with you and when you have brothers/sisters?!? Kiala's mum had sent out the stuff to dye eggs and decorate them for Easter. So when you went to bed we did that on Saturday night. It was so much fun and I cant wait til your older and we can do it with you.

The next morning when we went out for brekky we realised the Easter Bunny had found us and arrived here in Wollongong. The Easter Bunny even left you a toy bunny, a little bunny winter onsie outfit and some yummy Easter Eggs for mum and dad. We had chocolate hot cross buns for brekky. hmmm yummmm!!!
