Dave & Mel’s wedding In Byron

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!!..
