The Margaret River…

Woooow what a refreshing and picturesque place! We loved everything The Margaret River had to offer and one week there was nowhere near long enough.  This will in no way be the only trip we make here,  we will again venture down to finish off our Margret River wish list. The Margaret River is one of those places where on arrival we had a list of a few things we wanted to do. Now we have left, we have a list as long as my arm to conquer next visit.

Grace town Caravan park…

We found home for the week at Grace town Caravan Park, which came on recommendation from friends who stayed there last year. The staff were very family friendly and helpful. We left the office with armfuls of  brochures on amazing sites and places surrounding the area. The park itself was quiet so we could pick a site to suit, which is always great as we have three very loud, early rising boys. We always pick the most secluded place we can find, for the sake of others. All amenities and facilities were clean , tidy and there was alot on offer for kids. I couldn’t get my three off the tennis and basketball court. The parks prices were $12 an adult and $5 for kids, kids under 2 free. All round great park to stay with three adventurous little boys.

Chocolate factory…

As you know, we do like chocolate and do favour a family stop over to any chocolate factory that we pass. On this particular day it was a little rainy and cold so we thought what better way to warm up. The boys are always up for a free tasting of what ever may be on offer. Its great for them to try things they wouldn’t ordinarily try. Some they like some they don’t. We watched a few chocolates be made, through the glass window to the kitchen. We then each enjoyed a hot chocolate and a play on the beautiful land out the back. We all had a great time and who wouldn’t at a chocolate factory.

Amazin…

We were lucky enough to celebrate our little Wentworth’s 5th birthday while we were away. His special day was spent at  Amazin. Amazin is a hedge maze in the Margaret river. Admition wasnt cheap but we did stay for about 4 hours and there was alot to do as a family. First and foremost we tackled the  huge hedge maze, with the birthday boy taking the leed. This took us over half an hour and the boys were not stop laughs and loved every minute of it. The grounds at amazin, deserve a special mention as they really are amazing. Beautiful trees, garden beds, lawn games and puzzles along the way. We finished our morning with a picnic in the park which had so much space for my unruly boys to let loose. Xavier was in love with the out door chest boards as Steve is currently teaching him to play. As i mentioned Amazin is a little pricey but we enjoyed every minute there. Bring a picnic or barbeque and stay the day.

Wentworths Birthday…

We are so lucky to have our little Wentworth, after his rough start in life. Each year he has a birthday is a huge celebration of what an awesome little boy we have. Wentworth’s true love in life is his skateboard, so we bought him a little yellow cruiser to ride to school in the mornings. For those of you who know our extreme sports man Wentworth, no ramp or drop in os too big so off to the skate park we went!

Summary…

We loved our time at The Margaret River between the aqua beaches, tall never ending bushland and all the parks, we had the best week imaginable. We are all dying to get back and tackle some bush bike riding, caves and hikes so stay tuned for our future adventures. We each had our own favourite stop, Steve loved being back in Ava. Xavier loved the out door chess game with dad. Wentworth loved toasting marshmellows over the camp fire. Mak loved learning to climb trees and I loved getting out of our weekly routine.

Until next week xoxoxoxxoxoxoxox
