Patty’s Place

Daddy and mum are on holiday from their work and the first thing we did was to go visit my Nanny and Poppy (and uncles and aunties and cousins) in Warrnambool (where my dad grew up).

The drive to Warrnambool takes about 4 hours but it wasn’t so bad this time as I played with the Nintendo DS Lite I got from Santa for Christmas. Mostly I played with my first Nintendog, Santa and tried to earn some more money to buy a second dog.

When we got to Warrnambool, we went straight to Nanny’s house but she was out. Some of my Uncles and Aunties and Cousins where there and so we played with them until Nanny and Poppy got home.

That night we went out for dinner at the local lawn bowls club. Alex and I shared a Garlic Bread and Nugget and chips. After everyone had eaten dinner we all took turns having a go on a chocolate machine game. Between everyone we had lots of fun and won lots of Chocolate!!

On Saturday we had all the Uncles and Aunties and Cousins back over for a BBQ brunch. I also played my Nintendogs again and earned enough money to buy my second dog, Coco.

In the afternoon, while Alex (my brother) slept, Dad and me went to Shelly Beach to find shells and to look at all the underwater sea life that are in the rock pools.

That evening, Nanny and Poppy had a wedding on, so we went to the Botanical Gardens with My Uncle Anthony, Aunty Vicki and my cousins Andrew, Anna, Joshy and Kayla. We had Kermonds hamburgers. I had a Bacon one and it was good.

We then went to the duck pond in the gardens and fed the ducks and had a running race. I wanted to play  cricket but the park had a no balls policy so we decided to go down to the beach and play beach cricket.

We went down to Stingray Bay and played beach cricket. Although it wasn’t really hot, we went into the water up to our knees. The water was so nice that Alex and I went in further and go all wet. I was trying to collect the cricker ball!

Sunday dad took Alex and me to Flagstaff Hill where we did the Sea Chest Challenge which involves following the clues and making your way around the different sites to see.

Also there was a wedding on at the old church and we stopped to see the bride go in. Everyone was dress in old time costumes but they still had their modern cameras.

Dad took a panoramic shot of the stores from across the lake and you can see that here.

After this we had Kermonds again, this time with Nanny and Poppy and then went over to my Cousins place where I played Cricket on their PS2. I really want to get it, it was fun.

On Monday we went out for lunch with Nanny and Poppy. I had Nachos and a mixed plate that included Salami and olives (olives are my favourite). Then we all hopped back in the car and drove back to Melbourne. I did some more contests on Nintendogs and was able to buy my third dog.

We had a lot of fun and can’t wait to see Nanny again in March.
