a conference at the beach
Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast south of Brisbane Queensland is fairly well world renowned...
for its beaches and high rises...
and possibly the night life
It is a long time since I have been anywhere remotely near there
but this last week I spent two days there minding the baby while his Mum was at a conference.
So I took the baby for a walk to the beach close by on the first afternoon we were there
and he went to sleep in the pram before we even got there
(he hasn't been well)
So I took some photos with one hand
a little difficult
but some of them turned out.
(I was particularly pleased with the seagull, even though I didn't get the whole bird in the shot...problems with a cracked screen on the camera that only shows half the photo I am actually taking..!)
the 19th floor was a little challenging for a nervous grandma with doors that opened onto balconies...that had tables and chairs out there...good grief...
the tables and chairs migrated quickly inside before the baby noticed and I told him the doors didn't open, haha.
spending time with Mummy during breaks was the best bit....I think.
He spends a fair bit of time while with Grandma with a lion on his back...so hopefully he isn't the baby who falls in a bear pit...even so he raced away from me as we were leaving the beach next day to go to the playground and catch the tram to the shops. Luckily a quick witted life guard saw him and raced after him..he only wanted to sit on a seat and put his shoes on again. Funny.
But he also enjoyed as many trips on the light rail system that Grandma could fit in...to the shops..
Well, that was all a bit of fun and a change from our normal routine...not sure Mummy enjoyed it when he woke at 4am...or enjoyed him using his nice loud voice at breakfast or giving a lady and grandma a sore ear with a high pitched squeal in the lift...but overall, a fun couple of days!!
(ps I saw an interesting bird sort of hiding in the bushes at the beach, will have to post it next when I have identified it.)
