Jude Barnes: Hayman Holiday...

Daddy needed a well deserved holiday where there was nothing to do but relax, and enjoy time as a family, the first since Jude arrived 12 month prior! We started off with a couple of days at Airlie (after a 5 hour drive where the portable DVD player, and Shaun The Sheep were both lifesavers), enjoying tapas along the beach and exploring the town – on foot of course. It is amazing how long it takes to get anywhere when toddlers insist on walking and pushing his own pram! It was then instant relaxation once we jumped on the boat to head to Hayman, all very exciting for a little boy!!! Boats, people, islands – waaaaay too much stimulation resulting in a tucked out little boy…

Hayman is beautiful, so much so that you can’t describe it! It is such a fabulous destination for a family with little ones running around as there is so much to do, yet you feel like you are totally on your own, definitely great for all involved! You name it, Jude did it! He had such a wonderful week, we tried to capture as many thing as we could…

This was by far his most favourite thing to do on Hayman…., the playground at Baby Creche. And with all the toys and play equipment available, Jude only had eyes for one thing…, the mower. As much as we tried to entertain him with other things, he kept going back for that mower. A love that we certainly don’t understand!
