Harbour Festival

So I thought it was about time that I wrote about what I did for Easter. My long weekend started on Thursday afternoon at 1pm, at school we had our Cross Country at a local Lions Park. It was planned that all the children would be picked up at 1pm for an early start to the Easter weekend. I was thankful that I told all of my parents to pick up their children between 12 and 1. This meant that all of my kids were gone at one and I could leave early!
On Good Friday, Kym and I went to check out the festival down at the Harbour. In Gladstone they have a big festival that lasts all week with rides, markets and a street parade.
Saturday we went to the Yacht Club to join in the celebrations of the arrival of all the yachts. Met a few yachties and decided they're not as good looking as I imagined, or as fancy dressed as I pictured. They were actually quite feral!
Kym had a friend from Brisbane visiting so on Sunday we did a big breakfast on the BBQ and gave presents to each other.
Monday we went down to Tannum (the local beach) and had a bbq down there. We also saw some of the competitors who enetered the kite surfing competition.

Today I am off to a new church (AOG) as I have been invited by my year 8/9 teacher. I'm then off to her house for lunch.

These are the exciting tales of my life in Gladstone. As you can imagine I'm looking forward to returning to the Sunnycoast for 2 weeks holidays!
