At the end of August, Martin (my brother) came to visit so we went for our annual 4wdriving and camping trip. This year was Fraser Island, the largest sand island in the world which is about 2 hours north of us.
It was a great trip full of adventure, one of them being a paralysis tick embedded in the back of Bradley's head and having to find an emergency doctor on a sunday morning! After a lot of panicking and waiting the tick was removed along with some clumps of Bradley's hair. There was a lot of tears but soon made a recovery. Others adventures included getting stuck more than we would like, the worst being in the soft sand in the dark with an incoming tide. Needless to say with Neil's determination, digging his way out, letting a lot of air out of the tyres and making the rest of us walk to lighten the load, we escaped the soft sand and made it safely back to camp! Also on a sunrise shoot at Indian head, things turned out to be a bit scary as sunrise is not only for photographers but for packs of dingoes too! Young children and dingoes are not a good mix, as there has been a rise in attacks and one death over recent years. Needless to say we stuck together and bradley stayed in Uncle Martins arms and the dingoes left us alone, phew!
Here are some photos of the trip.
Another good day out was on 'The Valley Rattler' a steam train which runs twice a week from a town about an hour north of here (Gympie). Bradley loves trains aswell as diggers, trucks, tractors- you name it!
Of course, we had to go out for dinner. So Bradley got on his gladrags and headed for the RSL. Bradley loves going out to restaurants especially as he got a childrens meal which involved ice cream with m&m's his first experience of sweets! It didn't take long for the e numbers to take effect!
The last family bbq before Martin headed back to the UK.
We head down to one of the local parks usually once a week as it's a off leash park for Neddy. Also once a month some enthusiasts run a miniature steam train for the public to ride on. We actually remembered in September the right day!
One final photo just to show you that Bradley Paskin is very much his fathers son when it comes to breakfast at the weekend! 10 mins later Bradley's plate was completely empty!
The exciting news is that we are expecting the pitter patter of some more tiny feet. Our new bundle of joy is due on the 17th April. In the next couple of weeks we shall be finding out if Bradley is getting a brother or a sister! Will keep you posted!
