QLD Trip 2011: Our time in Noosa with the Grandies!

Hi Everyone!

Well, it's been about a week now since I last blogged and we have had a fun time with the Grandies since they arrived last Friday. Everyone was soooooo excited to see each other with BIG HUGS all round! Felicity gave Nannie Jac the Biggest hug of all, wouldn't let go!!!! Nannie Jac was very excited about that.
After we picked up Nannie and Papa (Rose & Rod) from the Sunshine coast airport, we headed into Noosa Heads and found their accom in Hastings Street. Got them in and unloaded. Maurice and Pheobe stayed with them and Trent, Flick and I went to our accom and checked in - just over the road! Trent went and got our bags from the other place we stayed at the previous night and then Nannie & Poppy arrived. Uncle Peter and Aunty Mary picked them up from Brisbane Airport and drove them to Noosa for us! Flick gave Nannie Jac her HUGE cuddle. We went up into our apartment and unloaded all their things and when Trent got back we unloaded ours. Nannie, Papa, Pheobe and Maurice came over and got a great surprise to see Nannie and Poppy!
Next it was time for the Swimming pool of course! So we went and got some lunch from the bakery and all ate by the pool. Once we had lunch, the two nan's, Flick and I went to the Supermarket to stock up! We got back to Nannie's and unloaded, then over to our place and unloaded. Trent by this stage was a little 'under the weather' so to speak with lifting all the bags and groceries up all the stairs. Don't know if any of you have noticed in the past few blogs that Trent has lost a lot of weight, but he has. Anyway, when this happened there was big discussion that night over at Rose and Rod's apartment where we all had dinner together about Trent getting into a doctor to see what was happening with him. He has also had a stomach complaint the past couple of weeks.

So, on to Saturday morning and we made an app. to see a Dr for Trent and off we went! Dr. Paul was great! We discovered that Trent's heart rate was rather high, so he sent Trent off to Cas for some testing to be done rather than wait until Monday. So, most of the afternoon was spent at the Hospital for us, the kids and the grandies had a fun time together. And, after all the testing and ultrasounds and xrays they thought that Trent may have had a virus of some kind and told him to go home and to see his local GP when he got home to check on it.
We had an easy what was left of the afternoon back at the apartment and then went to Rod and Rose's for dinner. Pheobe had a sleepover at Nannie & Papa's for the night!

Sunday was a pretty relaxing day, at the swimming pool and the kids also had some time at the beach too. Nannie & Papa & Pheobe got kicked out of their swimming pool because apparently only residence staying at the apartments are allowed to swim there, not guests of residence and Pheobe was a guest!!!We went out for dinner that night which was good fun. Flick gave Poppy a run for his money sitting next to him for the night! Just showing her true colours!!!! And, it was Maurice's turn for a sleepover at Nannie and Papa's!

Monday morning came and Dr. Paul phoned Trent and asked him to come in on Tues am for another check and an ECG monitoring. It was a relaxing sort of a day really. Trent and Pheobe went for a wonder after lunch, Poppy stayed in while Flick had a sleep and Nannie Jac, Maurice and I also had a wonder down Hastings street. For dinner on Monday night Trent, Poppy and I went down the street and got takeaway after a few beers at the Pizza bar!

Tuesday we went to the Dr's in the morning and Dr. Paul has asked Trent to repeat the bloods, as some results were a slight bit abnormal or out of the ranges of 'normal'. With his ECG, his heart rate was still elevated so he has also organised for Trent to do an ultrasound of his heart. He does this tomorrow and then after that we see Dr. Paul again for review. Trent's stomach issue seemed to be better today which was good, but we still have to see what Thursday brings! Trent also contacted the caravan place today to see how things were coming along and they seem to think they will have it ready by the end of the week just depending on parts being delivered to them etc...
Lunch was back at our apartment and then Flick and Maurice had a sleep and Trent and Poppy stayed home with them and Nannie Jac, Pheobe and I went to Noosa Junction for a look at the shops and I also posted a parcel to Maiko in Japan. It was Maiko's Birthday on the 16th of October, so we hope she had a fun day and looks forward to the parcel we have sent to her. Happy 'Belated' Birthday Maiko from all of us here in Noosa! We chose the present for you from a little gift shop in the main street of Noosa - Hasting's Street!

Today is Wednesday! We have had a fun day today. Its our last day together as a group as Nannie Jac and Poppy leave us tomorrow afternoon for their trip back home. We all got in a maxi Taxi and headed to Noosaville to the river. We hired a boat and ate icy poles, fruit and oreo's whilst Trent took us around all the canals to look at all the 'prime' real estate in Noosa! There are some lovely properties and we had a really fun 2 hours just cruising along. Pheobe and Maurice had a turn at driving the boat which they thought was fantastic!
When we got back to the shore we had some lunch at a table near the riverside and then had a little walk and waited for the Taxi to take us back to our apartment. We had takeaway Coffee and me a weak hot choc. Got Flick and Maurice into bed and here I am telling you the latest news. We are out for dinner again tonight to celebrate Trent's Birthday before Nannie and Poppy go home. Trent's Bday is on Friday the 21st, so I'm sure there will be more celebrations then too!

Hope everyone is well back home and I'll be in touch again soon. It's hard to believe that in just over a week we will be home and back into the normal! Not sure how it will go, but we are all looking forward to catching up with everyone and telling you all our stories from our great trip!
Lots of Love, Hugs and Kisses to everyone,
The Guye Gang! xo
