Hey Hey.. It’s show time in Newey..
It’s Joe here and I’m doing the show report!!!
Friday night we headed off to the 2010 Newcastle Show with Ma, Pa, Ronnie and Aunty Jod…

First stop was the crocodile tent!!.. I didn’t like that so I went with Mum to the Animal shed and seen some baby geese and sheep and some really big cows with huge horns!!! I didn’t like them either!!
Then we headed around the grounds and found the first pluto pup van we could and grabbed some dinner.
While Mum was getting the food Dad and Harry found the scouts park and Harry went for a play..

Harry was really good at it but I didn’t like that either so I sat in the pram with Lily…

Then Mum came with some Hot Chips for dinner.. I didn’t like them much either so just had a drink of lemonade!!… Lily on the other hand was unstoppable and it was kinda scary the way she held onto her chip container

After we all had food in out tummy’s we kept walking and Ma bought us these really cool swords that light up.. I really liked those… We then did the boring stuff like look through the pavilions etc..
We then found the show bags and Mum bought us a smarty one!!.. we are still eating smarties today.. there was so many of them in the bag!!..
FINALLY!! we headed to side show alley… Harry spotted some clowns and he was off to play..

I didn’t like the clowns at first so didn’t want to play but then I found out you got these really cool pressies if you play so thought I would get over myself and have a lash!!

I kept an Eye on the duck just in case he tried to jump me but he was cool..

and then we found some more clowns and by then I was a seasoned pro…

Harry then had a go at a big jumping castle.. I didn’t like that and didn’t want to have a go.. and then Harry got to go on a ride in a helicopter…

I didn’t like that either.. I was happy laying on the ground playing with my lightsaver sword…

The last ride of the night was Dad and Harry on the dodge-ms… Lily by this stage had gone to sleep…

Dad was unreal and Harry never stopped laughing the whole time… If it wasn’t for the height restrictions I would have had a go…

By now it was getting on and I knew that the fireworks would start soon so I was keen as mustard to hit the frog and toad and get out of there.. I don’t like fireworks.. So we were walking out and out of no where this huge “BOOM”… Ma hit the ground and Harry almost projected himself into Ma’s arms… I just ran to mum and hung on for dear life.. There was no way she was putting me down until we got to the car.. Which was about 500 metres away…

So in Summary… There were a few things I didn’t like but that was ok cause I got my lightsaver sword.. Harry had a great time.. he said it was heaps better then last year and when I get bigger I will like it better.. Lily seemed to have a good time.. so I would call it a success…

Hey Everyone, Harry here… well last weekend we did the big road trip to Byron Bay for Uncle Dave and Aunty Mel’s wedding.
As soon as Dad finished work on Thurs arvo we were in the car and hitting the road… First stop was at Port Macquarie roadhouse for some dinner… Nothing beats nuggets and chips and we use any excuse to get some… we then hit the road again and travelled through coffs and into Woolgoolga…Mum had booked us a cabin for the night so we didn’t have too big of a trip the first night..
It was prob 10.30pm before we got there, We were so excited to see our room.. I was really excited cause there were bunks and I baggs the top one…
Joe, Lily and I all played on them while Mum and Dad unpacked etc

Joe had a ball climbing up and down the ladder

and lily just ran from one end of the cabin and back again.. that girl had some serious energy to burn…

The next morning we woke early as we were all really excited to have a look at the place we were staying..

it turned out that we were right on the beach and it was a lovely morning and we were in no rush to go anywhere so we headed down to the beach..
Lily, Joe and I all played in the sand and Lily and I built sand castles

while Joe drew pictures in the sand

after a while Dad took Lily and I in for a swim.. Bub wasn’t keen so he stayed on the sand with mum

We then headed back to our cabin and had a shower, packed up and jumped in the car for a smooth 2 and a bit hours till Byron.
We got there just on lunch time so we all had a well deserved rest and waited till the others arrived.
Later that arvo we headed in to see Uncle Dave and Aunty Mel and we waited on uncle Bob and Aunty lons and the twins to arrive and also Nanny, Poppy, Tyler and Caitlyn.
Soon everyone had arrived and we had some dinner and had a play…
Later we all the little kids jumped in the bath..

Olly reckoned he was now a Big Boy and wanted to have a bath all on his own!!.. he is such a wildcat!!

After our baths we headed home for a big sleep.. It was cool because Uncle Pitko stayed with us…
He got to sleep right up high on the big bunk

Saturday was a day of rest.. Mum was a bit sick so she slept most of the day so we just hung out and played with Tyler, Caitlyn, Olly and Sienna… Although mum was sick she could still be heard saying
“have an easy day.. tomorrow is going to be big”

Sunday (wedding day) rolled around really quick.. Mum was feeling much better so we started the day with an hour on the beach… and Dad threw a few lines in..
I went for another swim.. I love the beach.. Bub built some more sand castles… he loves doing that too.. and Lily just wondered around exploring…

she was really excited when dad caught a fish and wanted to know all about it..

Dad was more then happy to share his experience.. My dad loves fishing!!

We then headed up for a BIG sleep and then get ready for the wedding… Dad left early as he was one of the people that stand up the front.. so Mum got us all ready to go…
She said that Joe and I looked so handsome.. and Lily looked like a little princess

The wedding was nice and before long it was time to hit the dance floor…

We had a great time and Joe and Lily got their groove on as well… we then got to eat this really yummy cake and as the night wore on it did take it’s toll on the young kids…
Lily was the first to flake and Joe wasn’t far behind..

but they just slept in the corner while I continued to have a good time..
Tyler was having an ok time.. I think he was feeling a little sick and tired but I kept him company until the night finished..

Tyler and I are best mates…

We got home just after midnight and it was straight to bed..

The next day we got up early and Mum was a little cranky as Dad was now feeling a little sick, the funny thing was that Dad didn’t get cranky when Mum was sick on Saturday.. But Mum said.. it was a different sick and Dad didn’t get any sympathy… i just went with the flow.. We left at 9am for our long
drive home.. We watched some movies and had a few sleeps, we stopped for lunch at Coffs which was just as well cause Bubba was nattering on in an uncontrolled state chanting “abc.net.au/giggle and hoot.. over and over again… who chats web sites ???.. i put it down to the fact that he was tired and hungry…
We got home about 6.30pm and all jokes aside we all had a great trip… Joe, Lily and I all said we would be extra good cause it had been a big weekend for everyone..
and the best thing was that Ma had cooked pasta for us for dinner!!..
