We had planned to go on a camping trip up to Mount Morgan (which is near Rockhampton and Yeppoon) in the Easter holidays but Cyclone Debbie ruined our plans! All roads leading up there were flooded in and halfway through our trip, Rockhampton was forecast to experience it's worst flood in 100 years so we decided to stay home instead.
We didn't get any flooding in town, though the Weir benefited greatly and actually reached 100% capacity and was overflowing. Here's a video we got of it.
Normally there's just a huge concrete wall and a puddle of water at the bottom!
There's not a lot to do in town during the holidays (not much to do during the school term either haha) but we made our own fun. Here the girls made and decorated their own Easter cakes.
We all got to stay up a bit later together and watch football. Here's Amita getting very excited about the Broncos getting the ball.
We still managed to roast marshmallows - with an outdoor citronella candle! Oh to have a yard where we could have a fire pit :).
We went to just about every park in town, including the skate park and got very good at playing Skylanders and Disney Infinity on the Xbox.
Here are the girls at Gramps and Gramsi's house for an Easter egg hunt.
A couple of photos post Easter holidays:
Lizzie loves making a bird's nest in the lounge room with pillows. I think it makes her feel like Big Bird.
Amita competing in her Cross-Country Course. She did very well.
This mask is on Lizzie's Birthday wish list (as well as the turtle shell to go with it). She'd be the smallest, creepiest looking Ninja Turtle ever!
