The first few days in Yeppoon were not unpleasant. It felt really good to be away from Taipei's cold wet winter but it was also raining from time to time in Central Queensland. Graham spent a lot of time indoors.
When the rain stopped Craig and Graham's parents took the opportunity to walk to Cooee Bay Park. A notable feature of the first few days was that every time Craig and Graham's Dad went outside it would start to rain. This visit to the park was no exception. Soon the slide was too wet for Craig to play on.
Fortunately, Craig had time to play some other stuff before they ran back to Grandad and Grandma's house.
The weather soon fined up. The best place to enjoy the afternoon seabreeze is the top verandah.
Graham was quite happy to sit there with his Dad and enjoy the cool breeze.
Downstairs, Craig's Mum was playing a ball game with Craig. The day before, Craig's Dad had tried to teach Craig to catch but Craig much preferred it when the ball was thrown far away so that he could chase it.
Craig liked to throw the ball back left-handed.
Sometimes he threw it pretty well.
After playing with Mum, Craig wanted to rest when Dad tried to join the game.
At night, Craig liked to sit on top of one of the big sofas. It was a funny place to sit and he fell down all the way to floor once. Luckily no harm was done.
The sea air seemed to make Graham sleep a little more than he does at home.
Almost every day they were there, Craig's Dad made sandwiches for lunch. On just one day, they had lunch at a little cafe called
Yogolicious. It has gluten-free food. We didn't have any of that but Craig's Mum liked her chicken and avocado sandwich, Craig's Dad made short work of a chicken burger and Craig demolished a banana pancake. As for Craig's Dad's mango smoothie, Craig helped a lot with it. Highly recommended.
To break up the long afternoons, there was a drive to the
Singing Ship. Emu Park is a much nicer place now than it was in the past.
The
Singing Ship looks quite small from a distance but it seems much bigger when you try to put people and the ship in one photo.
Back at Craig's Grandparents' house it was raining gently again.
Craig was a bit jealous about the picture above and wanted a photo that was all about him!
One morning, magpies were sitting on the next door neighbors' roof. There were three magpies at first but by the time Craig's Dad took a picture one had flown away. The good news was, Craig's Cousin Bailey was about to arrive.
