Just back from a lovely week at Surfers Paradise, Queensland. The weather was brilliant and we managed to see a lot while we were there. We stayed about 2 blocks away from Cavill Mall where all the action is. Along one side is mainly eating places with a huge range of restaurants to choose from. You can get meals for less than $10 and they're more than enough at times. We visited Movie World, our second visit having been there 17 years earlier. I even went on a roller coaster, but not the big one - the little one in the kiddies section but that was more than enough for me as I don't like fast rides and I'm scared of heights. I don't know how I even agreed to go on that ride though there were lots of other adults on it and hardly any children. Met Batman and Robin on our travels through Movie World and enjoyed the Batman 2 ride - but I wasn't game to go on the big Batman ride.

Kids sure do keep you on your toes and at times are a great source of laughter. This is a photo of one of my grandsons taken today when he was having lunch.

Why he made such a funny face I don't know but I just couldn't let it pass without a photo. Just wait until he's having an 18th or 21st birthday - I'm sure he'd love it blown up to poster size!!!
