With three 40 degree days approaching earlier this month, I jumped online to book the kids and I an air-conditioned cabin with an onsite pool. There was no way we were going to stay home in our small brick house comfortably.
The first day/ night we drove down the coast to Geelong’s Riverglen Holiday part where our three bedroom cabin was being cleaned on arrival.
The kids enjoyed the onsite pool and jumping pillow while I had the airconditioner on 22 degrees and watched the tennis in peace.
The real fun started the next afternoon..
The kids and I stayed indoors until the hottest part of the day was done before heading down to Eastern Beach in Geelong to take my Kayak for its first paddle.
All the kids surprised me with how good they were paddling around.
We spent the whole rest of the afternoon/night down there, it was awesome!
Once back at the cabin the kids were tired and hungry and so it was dinner and bed.
I had more fun planned the next day..
Before picking up Hiram from his stay with Chris, I took the kids to a place I’d been eyeing off for a few months now. The Narana Culture Centre.
This place had fought my eye while scrolling on instagram mid last year.
We enjoyed lunch before tasting everything on the dessert menu!
After feeding some emu and kangaroo we went to meet Chris.
The remainder of the night was spent again at the holiday park with the kids showing Hiram all the neat things they could do while I again watched the tennis.
Tricking the kids into thinking it was our last night away I opted for a bit of sight seeing, mocktail tasting and fresh fish sampling.
So we headed to Wah Wah Gee, grabbed ourselves a table and orderded mock-tails!
We also took some time fore some fun summer pics..
Dinner was had at the Geelong Boat House where the owner Malcome taught the kids a thing or two about boat flags.
Most of us ordered fish and chips and ate the lot..
Before heading home we went for a beach walk along eastern beach and chose our favourite ice creams from an ice cream van.
The surprise for the kids the next day was an extra night in Torquay.
The holiday park wasn’t as much fun as the first one but we did travel down to Bells Beachbefore taking the Kayak out again at Torquay beach this time!
All in all it was nice to get away but it was also nice to come home..
