Hot Hot Hot

Woken up by Dom at about 6am, but he just wanted to get out of the camper and go on the beach. It was so warm, I don't think we could have stayed in the camper beyond 7am anyway!

We went for swims and the kids had a fantastic time with the boogy boards and Dom and Abbey were actually getting used to the surf - it took a lot of coaxing to get them in the surf but they were happy!!

We even drove up to Freshwater to go under the cold open showers - the water was so refreshing - I think we probably hit about 38 degrees. Apparently Brisbane was 40.2 degrees!!

Then at about 6.30pm when we just sat down for dinner this massive storm came from nowhere!! Thunder, lightning, rain and wind - nearly blew us away!! The kids were in the camper trailer and poor Dom was terrified! I was trying to close the camper's windows and then the tent nearly collapsed with the kids were in it! Ben and Mike were frantically trying to save the Tarp!!

Anyway after about 45 minutes it went away, we salvaged a bit of dinner, put the kids to bed and then Mike Kate and us sat around a campfire for the night!!!
