Before Movie World this morning we enjoyed the complementary buffet breakfast and I couldn't help but show the kids the one of a kind Queensland Breakfast Tradition.
Pancakes, Bacon and Maple Syrup!!
I first experienced it on our first trip to Cairns back in 2016.
Since then it appears only ever on special occasions and being that today was my sons 20th birthday I had to bring it out again:
Movie World was the most exciting theme park to show the kids. That and the fact that we were meeting my best friend Kel, her partner Jeff, her brother Zane and her precious little girl, Sadie!
They got there before us so we posed outside for a quick pic before heading in:
The kids, Jeff and Zane all went on the Wild West Ride while I got reacquainted with my bestie and my little neicey noo who pulled me into the nearby gift shop.
As we walked to take a look around the park I had Jie pose with Marilyn Munroe and Cat Woman:
The boys headed off to ride the rollercoasters while Kel, Nevaeh, Sadie and I went to get ourselves a drink and caught up on the goss..
After that we went into the Toon Town where all the little kids rides were and Nevaeh and I couldn't resist this pic with Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny:
When the boys returned we went to grab a bite to eat, Kel and Jeff bought Sadie a Bubbly wand and Nevaeh finally got up the courage to ride a Coaster with the boys.
Jie and Jeff even did one of the coasters backwards!!
The absolute highlight of my day was reliving my childhood through the emerald city!
All while watching my besties daughter enjoy a Wizard of Oz lollipop:
Sadie was getting tired by the time we headed into the Emeral City so these were the last pictures we all got together before they hit the road to get Sadie home for the day:
Once we said our good byes, the kids and I entered the Emerald city and went through to see the Wizard of Oz, experienced the Poppy Field, walked through the Haunted Forest and ended up at the wicked witch of the West Castle which was a Rollarcoaster Ride.
The kids enjoyed this one and but didn't want to do the Wizard of Oz Twister Roller Coaster as it went backwards and kids by this time just wanted to rest.
We went back to one of the classic old fashioned bars and watched the Movie World Characters take to the streets for their end of the day parade.
We went to one last gift shop and I enjoyed one last Looney Tune Cupcake before we headed back to the hotel.
Kel sent me this photo of Sadie on her way home <3
The remainder of the night was spent at the Hotel Pool and Spa:
And Jie and I ordered Room Service for dinner as Nevaeh fell asleep pretty much straight away. Initially we ordered Lobster for his 20th Birthday, but had to settle for room service as the delivery never came!! We had dinner together watched Sister Act 2 and went to bed:
Home tomorrow..
