Will's Top 8 Tips for a Terrific Holiday...

1. Spend lots of time at the beach.

Hours of fun can be had going from the water to your bucket on the sand with a watering can; and filling the bucket up. When it gets full...just tip it out and start all over again. If you can tip it on your Mum's towel that's extra fun.

Swimming in the water is also great fun and if you can find some big rocks to climb you can really give your Mum a heart attack...especially if you are accident prone and clumsy!


2. Try to spot as many planes in the sky as you can and learn to identify the airline.

"Look, there's one...is Auntie Lauren on that one??"

Here's a QANTAS plane which I like but my favourite is Jetstar.



3. Make sure there's a really cool pool where you are staying then beg your parents to take you in it every chance you get.

Mummy and me.




4. Go on the Adventure Croc bus - totally awesome!

Harry and I were so excited when we saw this bus pulling up as all our parents had told us was that we were going on a "bus ride" and we weren't too sure it was going to be that exciting...until we saw it!

Here we are ready to set off.

Here I am driving it through the water! Yes you read that right... the adventure croc is an amphibian that drives on land and through water. Boy did I get a surprise when we drove down the boat ramp and into the water. I was really good at driving too.

I was so good that they even gave me a certificate!

Oh yeh and I nearly forgot... Harrison got one too.



5. Go Fishing

The trick is to look really sad and sulky when your Dad or brother catch a fish; then they feel sorry for you and let you reel it in... that way you avoid all the hard work and just get the glory. It's also fun to be really noisy and scare all the fish away. If you manage to drop something over the side of the boat and lose it then that's the real icing on the cake!

6. Go Boogie Boarding

Take someone along who can pull you around...a 7 year old brother is ideal.



7. Spend lots of time with your family.

It's really great that Daddy doesn't have to go to work and Mummy doesn't have much cooking or cleaning to do because it means they can spend lots more time doing your puzzles, reading your stories and giving you lots of extra attention.



8. Do NOT (under any circumstances) go to sleep until you actually fall asleep standing up!

This is most important as you don't want to miss out on anything. Just keep telling your parents you are not tired until they find you just like this!
