Whats been happening?

We went into Broome again on Saturday. The drive in was lovely, and the rivers were up and flowing. It's funny how much a river rises as we haven't had any rain for a while. I suppose the low that was hanging around the Kimberly is making up for the lack of rain down here. The girls were all excited (bad of us I know) as the boys were staying at the caravan due to work. It was just a girls day except for dad.

Our first port of call at Broome was the Telstra shop to sort out our internet troubles. We have now switched to a plan as prepaid is quite expensive. We also picked up a new modem for internet, our old modem only being usable for prepaid. We then headed off toTarget (Chloe's birthday's coming up). We like shopping without the boys being there as they are always hanging over people's shoulders driving everybody crazy, refusing to leave to go see something they like.

We also went to the Red Cross shop. I love op shops, plain and simple. You can pick up some really nice clothes for cheap prices. We picked up a movie there, and we are all looking forward to watching it! There was sadly no clothes there that suited, but it was till nice to browse.

We were planning to go to a museum, but it was closed. After debating what to do, we went to the markets. The girls were fascinated by a hula hoop man, who could do a handstand and twirl a hula hoop around his leg at the same time. We also picked up a chicken satay, a lovely snack to keep us going in the heat till lunch.

For lunch, we went to Matso's and had a delicious lunch. The cheapest way for us all to eat out is to but bowls of chips for us kids, and then the adults get a meal. Kids meals are now too small for us, and generally too expensive. The restaurant overlooked the beach, and it was beautiful. It was a bit hot, but the sea breeze saved us from all melting.

After lunch, we decided to go to the beach to see the water park. Instead of swimming at the beach, the girls had some great fun at the water park. It was real fun to watch them play, and they certainly enjoyed it.
