Esperance, WA

Star Rating:★★★☆

★=Full Star☆=Half a Star

At Esperance I mainly worked on my blog as we had not been in internet for a while, I also had lots of fun in the pool. The day we left it was Mum's birthday, in the morning we gave her the presents we made/bought for her. I gave her a drawstring bag with a rainbow on it, a keyring, a hanging bowl and some chocolate. After presents, we went down to a coffee shop on the foreshore, then left to go to Le Grand Beach. Esperance was lovely and I wish we could have spent more time there.

On the first morning we were at Esperance we went down to a coffee van, Jackson on his scooter, me on my roller skates and Mum and Dad walking.

Having my hair cut at Esperance- its nearly been a year since I got it cut!!

Le Grand Beach, WA

As soon as we had set up we went and hiked Frenchman's Peak for Mum's birthday, the walk was mostly a rock scramble which was really fun! The view was amazing, we could see heaps from the top! After, for lunch, we took a platter down on the beach, and ate it whilst watching the waves. It was beautiful and I had fun walking along the beach and exploring the rocks. When it was getting a bit cold and windy we went back to camp where I decorated Mum's cake. When I had finished we got ready to go out for dinner (I wore a white shirt that I have only worn once on the trip!) at the Condingup Tavern, although it was a long-ish drive it was worth it! For dinner I got a cheese burger with chips and I also got a raspberry lemonade, it was all yum. After dinner, when we were back at camp where we sang Happy Birthday and had a big slice of birthday cake with ice-cream! It was delectable! The next day Mum and I went for a run in the morning before going out to explore some beaches. First up we went to Lucky Bay, where even though it was cold and dreary it was beautiful. Rossiter Bay was my favourite of the day, Jackson and I had fun running out on to the rock and waiting for the waves to retreat before running back in! Thistle Cove, although it sounds prickly, was not! In fact it was a magical bay that had some of the most beautiful sand I had felt between my toes in ages! The last place we visited was Hellfire Bay. I liked it even though we only stayed for a little bit as we were all getting hungry, though in the short time we were there Mum went crazy and had a freezing swim- even though it was super cold!  That afternoon we just relaxed before going for a swim in the evening. Afterwards we watched the sunset. Le Grand Beach was beautiful!

After dinner we had birthday cake-there was two cakes because the first packet mix we got was not gluten free so Mum couldn't eat it! Luckily Dad was able to grab another cake mix before the shops closed.

Munglinup Beach, WA

Star Rating:★★★★☆

★=Full Star☆=Half a Star

At Munglinup it was Jackson's birthday! He decided to spend  the day at Munglinup beach because he really liked it when we went there a little while ago. On the morning of his birthday we got up at 20 past six and gave him his presents, the favourite thing he got was a remote control car. After presents we had pancakes with ice-cream and berries, they were yum and as soon as we had finished the boys went out for a dive. While they were diving Mum and I went for a nice swim/snorkel, we only got out when we were so cold that our fingers were purple! When the boys got back from their dive we had lunch before having a big slice of ice-cream cake! It was super tasty. It tasted even better as it was a hot day and it really cooled us down. After we had finished the boys went for another dive and Mum and I went for a long walk along the rocks. When we got back Dad started dinner and we had a bit of a relax. For dinner we had big, fat, juicy steaks which was delicious!  After dinner we took some chocolates down to the beach and ate them whilst watching the sunset. When we got back we had a massive slice of cheesecake before going to bed. Jackson's birthday was awesome! For the rest of the time at Munglinup beach we swam, took long walks along the beach and played on the beach.
