Tonight's carols are on at Burleigh Beach but if this rain continues they may be cancelled.
The rain eases and eventually stops and the carols go ahead as planned. What a line up.......Lots of past Australian Idol singers and Santa is arriving in a helicopter. They really know how to throw a carols here.
We got some takeaway pizza, wine, beers and softdrink for the kids and plonked ourselves on a picnic blanket in amongst the other carollers. Hundreds if not thousands have come out to enjoy this Christmas festivity. Alicia and Taylah love going to Carols and are very happy that it was not cancelled. Our Carni mates met us here and we also managed to bump into some old childhood mates, the Nelson's. They live close by and I had a feeling we would see them here. We haven't seen them in a few years and they have invited us back to their house when the carols are over with.
Shortly before the fireworks were due to go off we moved from the grassed area and made our way onto the beach. It was so much better here. Even the speaker quality was better from here. We should of come here from the beginning.
The fireworks display was quite impressive and the girls had a ball playing tiggy with other kids on the sand.
We lost Lilly for a brief moment. I panicked because there were kids everywhere and it was dark down by the water and I knew thats where she probably would be and sure enough she was.
Went back to the Nelson's house after the carols and had a great catch up with them. Thier kids have grown up so much since we last saw them which we worked out to be at least 4 years ago. Didn't leave their place till 2am with a very drunk husband and 3 very tired children.
