Diary (25 July - 31 July)
FRIDAY 25 JULY 2008 FIRST THING WE DID AFTER BREAKFAST WAS PATONK. WE ALL PLAYED THAT WHILE GRANDMA MADE THE NEW SOFA COVER. LATER ON, WE GO OUT TO THE GARAGE FOR CINDY’S CAR BEFORE HAVING AN ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET AT AN INDIAN RESTAURANT. WE JUST HAVE CHIPS AS THERE IS NOTHING WE LIKE. AFTERWARDS, WE GO TO A SHOP THAT SELLS INDIANSPICES SO GRANDMA GOES IN THERE WHILE WE HAVE AN ICE CREAM. ON THE WAY HOME, WE STOP AT THE DOLLAR STORE BEFORE PICKING UP CINDY’S CAR AT THE GARAGE. WHEN WE GET BACK, IT IS CRAB RACING AT THE LAKESIDE LOUNGE BUT UNFORTUNATLEY, MY CRAB DID NOT WIN! THEN WE ALL GO FOR A WALK AROUND THE COVE TO LOOK AT THE DECORATIONS BEFORE A LATE NIGHT SWIM AND BED. CYPRESS COVE 8
SATURDAY 26 JULY 2008 AFTER BREAKFAST, GRANDMA DIVED STRAIGHT INTO THE SOWING BUISNESS AGAIN. SHE WAS MAKING SEAT AND CUSHION COVERS WHILE WE PLAYED CARDS OUTSIDE WITH GRANDAD. LUNCHTIME CAME QUICKLY. ATFER EGG & CHIPS, WE ALL WATCHED THE GOLF CART PARADE FOR PARROT HEAD WEEKEND. WE SQUIRTED THEM WITH WATER AND THEY SQUIRTED BACK BUT MOST OF THE TIME, THEY THREW OUT BEADS AND CANDY FOR US. AFTER THE PARADE, WE WENT AROUND THE STREETS PICKING UP THE LEFTOVER CANDY – IT WAS LIKE HALLOWEEN! AFTER THAT, WE WENT FOR A POOL PARTY AND IT WAS LOUD MUSIC AND FREEBIES THROWN OUT TO US AND IT WAS MAYHEM! WHEN A SMALL STORM COMES IN, WE HEAD BACK FOR THE MOTOR-HOME BUT THERE IS NO LIGHTNING, JUST RAIN SO WE DANCED OUT IN THE RAIN FOR HALF AN HOUR. AT THE MEGA TRIVIA QUIZ AT SEVEN, I GOT PICKED TO BE A COTESTANT. I CLEVERLY BUZZED IN TO A QUESTION SO THE GUY NEXT TO ME COULDN’T BECAUSE IF HE DID, HE WOULD WIN. I THEN GOT THE QUESTION RIGHT, TO MY AMAZEMENT! AFTER THE QUIZ, ITS BACK TO THE VAN, FOR A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP. CYPRESS COVE 9
SUNDAY 27 JULY 2008 GRANDMA FINISHES THE SOWING WHILST I PLAN DISNEY! AFTER LUNCH, WE GO TO YET ANOTHER POOL PARTY, WITH MORE FREEBIES. I GOT BORED QUITE QUICKLY SO I CAME BACK TO THE VAN BUT NATASHA STAYED IN FOR HOURS. THEN, ANOTHER STORM BROKE OUT SO WE ALL SIT QUIETLY IN THE VAN AFTER TEA. NATASHA FALLS ASLEEP WHILE I WATCH THE SIMPSONS. BY 9PM, WE ARE ALL ASLEEP. CYPRESS COVE 10
MONDAY 28 JULY 2008 THIS IS OUR LAST DAY AT CYPRESS COVE. AFTER SAYING OUR GOODBYES WE LEAVE AND GO TO WALMART. WE WERE HALFWAY ROUND THE SHOP WHEN GRANDAD RUSHES IN AND TELLS US THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VAN – ALL THE POWER HAD GONE OFF. WE HEADED BACK TO CYPRESS COVE TO GET ELECTRICITY TO WORK OUT THE PROBLEM. AFTER SAYING OUR GOODBYES AGAIN, WE HEAD ON THE ROAD TO THE BIGGEST MCDONALDS IN THE WORLD! AFTER HAVING LUNCH, PLAYING ON THE ARCADES AND RELAXING THERE, WE HEAD TO TURKEY LAKE. WE EXPLORE ROUND AND HAVE A LOOK AT THE POOL, LAKE, PLAYGROUND AND MORE. WE THEN PLAN THE NEAR FUTURE IN THE VAN BEFORE TEA. AFTER TEA, WE HAVE TO GO TO THE PLAYGROUND AGAIN BEFORE COMING BACK TO THE VAN AND GOING TO SLEEP. TURKEY LAKE 1
TUESDAY 29 JULY 2008 WE ARE ALL EXCITED SO WE WAKE UP EARLY AND HEAD DOWN TO SEA WORLD FOR 8:30AM. WHILE WE ARE WAITING IN THE QUEUE, WE HAVE BREAKFAST AND PREPARE FOR THE DAY. THE NEARBY CARS DON’T LOOK HAPPY ABOUT THIS. THE PARK OPENS AT 9AM AND WE HEAD STRAIGHT TO KRAKEN, THE BEST RIDE IN THE PARK. WHEN WE GET OFF, GRANDAD AND NATTY ARENT TO HAPPY ABOUT THE RIDE SO WE HEAD OVER TO JOURNEY TO ALANTIS. THIS RIDE IS A WET ONE SO TO DRY OFF, WE ALL GO TO WATCH THE SEA LION SHOW. WE KEEP PICKING AT SNACKS AS THE DAY GOES ON. WE WATCH WHAT I THINK IS THE BEST SHOW IN THE PARK, BELIEVE. THIS IS SHAMU THE KILLER WHALE’S SHOW AND IT IS AMAZING. AFTER WATCHING ALL THE OTHER SHOWS AND ALL THE RIDES, WE HEAD BACK TO THE MOTOR HOME FOR A REST. WE THEN GO BACK INTO THE PARK FOR THE ANIMAL ATTRACTIONS. WE STROKE STINGRAYS, LOOK AT SHARKS AND EXPLORE THE PENGUIN WORLD. AT NIGHT, THEY HAVE EXCELLENT SHOWS LIKE SHAMU ROCKS, JET SKIING AND MISTIFY. MISTIFY IS THE NIGHT TIME SPECTACULAR WITH PROJECTIONS, FOUNTAINS, FIREWORKS AND MUSIC. AFTER NEARLY DROPPING OFF AT 10:30PM, WE HEAD BACK TO TURKEY LAKE AND GET TO SLEEP IMMEDIATLEY. TURKEY LAKE 2
WEDNESDAY 30 JULY 2008 WE LIE IN A BIT LATER THIS MORNING. WE PREPARE FOR THE DAY AND DRIVE TO AQUATICA. IN THE RV LANE, THERES NOBODY THERE SO WE JUST DRIVE THROUGH WITHOUT PAYING. AFTER FINDING THE ENTERANCE TO THE PARK WE HEAD TO THE BEACH AND FIND SOMEWHERE TO SIT IN THE SHADE. THE CHAIRS ARE ALL FULL SO WE SIT OUTSIDE A CAFÉ. NATASHA AND ME GO AND EXPLORE ON OUR OWN. WE GO ON TAUMATA RACER AND WALKABOUT WATERS. AFTER MANY OTHER RIDES, IT GETS TO MIDDAY ALREADY. AFTER LUNCH, WE SPLIT UP AND I SPEND LITERALLY ABOUT 4 HOURS IN THE RAPIDS – THE FUN NEVER ENDS! FOR TEA WE BUY CHICKEN NUGGETS AND CHIPS FROM A RESTAURANT AND THEN HAVE SHOWERS BEFORE DRYING OFF AND HEADING HOME. WE STOP AT WALMART ON THE WAY BECAUSE THEY HAVE A BIG DISNEY SECTION AND YOU CAN BUY ALL THE DISNEY MERCHANDISE FOR ABOUT HALF THE PRICE LIKE MUGS, T-SHIRTS, AUTOGRAPH BOOKS AND MORE.
