Surfers Paradise.....

Then we headed to Surfers Paradise on Saturday. Sounded like a nice place so we thought we'd check it out!!! We went to Ikea first to pick up a few things and then off to Surfers Paradise. It ended up being a great idea because they were having an Easter Festival and there were a lot of things for the kids to do. So, we had a great day and didn't head back to Brisbane until 9ish that night.

This is one of the streets by the beach....no cars allowed on the street so that was nice.

Cruisin' low and slow...

Breagha really did enjoy this slide even though it doesn't look like she did!! She didn't want to stop sliding down and got very anry when it was time to leave. I think she has the Purdy temper. Right Shirley?

This is the beach right in the city. It was beautiful and was super long. The city did fireworks on the beach that night and a big screen movie for the kids - "Happy Feet".

And of course no trip is complete without some dancing!!! They had a little dance floor for the young kids and great music. Shamus is coming up with some pretty funny dance moves!!

The evening was beautiful too.

Yeah, not the best picture but we wanted proof that Darryl and I do get a picture together every few months...even if we have to take it ourselves!!! :)

And ended the evening with the fireworks and a movie. It was a great day trip.

Sunday was an Easter potluck at Steve and Cari's. There were about 14 of us so lots of company and lots of food!! A few Aussies, English folk and Canadians. Great food and a good time was had!!!

We enjoyed our first Australia long weekend but we still miss everyone at home!! Can't wait to see who our first visitor will be!!! hint hint....
