my kids had made a very extensive list of everything they wanted to do during the school holidays and we got the last one done today, on the very last day. phew! just scraped in. also, i claim super mum right here, because even though doug was home for a lot of the holidays, all the kids requests and fun have been woven in around the endless appointments as both his parents deal with their cancer treatments. it's a hard road sometimes, but we are trying to make sure that it doesn't interrupt the kids too much. we seem to have done alright so far, although doug often has to miss things which can't be helped.
anyway... their last request was the whistlers chocolate factory on great northern highway. we hadn't been before and although there is the one drawback of not being able to watch the chocolate being made (unlike the margaret river chocolate company), i loved it! their showroom was huge and beautifully set up, with free samples (everyone's favourite thing!), a gorgeous old fashioned chocolate lounge, an awesome gift shop (i wanted to buy pretty much everything), a cafe and a huge outdoor play area. i will absolutely bring the kids back next holidays, maybe with some friends to have an icecream and a play.
this kids thought it was the best day of his life... he is so addicted to icecream!
i am so sad the holidays are over, i love having the kids around, but i am sooo ready to send them back off to school, because they are starting to get on each others nerves (and mine!). bring on school tomorrow! hooray!
