The Cavalry Arrives!

After driving 5000kms in 5 and a half days Grandma and Pa arrived to save the day (and my sanity). We have spent the last week relaxing at Point Samson, a small beachside town about 40min north of Karratha. We have enjoyed walking through the reefs at low tide (the octopus were a huge delight), playing in the local playground, climbing over the rocks at Honeymoon Cove and bike riding. We have had a few days out and the kids have enjoyed being spoilt by Grandma and Pa (Emilia could not believe her luck when they took her to a cafe with a playground inside, McDonalds, and she got a strawberry sundae with m&m's on it). Both kids have loved showing their new bike riding and swimming skills and Jackson impressed us all with his cockroach collecting!

We are camped just across the road from the beach and have a fantastic view of the sunrise. I have seen the sunrise each morning as the kids have been up super early (5am) nearly every day. They have both had head colds too so I am so glad Mum and Dad have been here to help me out! The fridge in our van also packed up but thankfully Dad was able to get it out and into town to get fixed. We had a few days with no fridge, no gas and no running water in the campervan- very rough conditions! A crazy week but we are slowly getting back on track. 

Only ongoing issue has been the sand flies, so we have a permanent coating of repellant on as sand fly bites are super itchy and hang around for a few weeks. We have even taken to spraying our hair as they are biting our scalp. Jackson is toilet training and has even managed to get a few bites on his bum!
