26 April 2012 - A grey day in Airlie Beach

Spent the morning catching up on shopping as it had been a while since we were in civilization, close to anywhere decent shops. Then onward to Shute Harbour to have a look around. It being a very grey day this was really not so appealling, but at least we got a little peace from the kids who passed out en route.

We headed to the beach to look for crabs in the arvo, something to keep us busy as it is still stinger season. Kids were thrilled to report heaps of crabs and Em even got bitten by one and in the panic it lost its claw and left it embedded in her finger. Lots of tears later she calmed down when we explained that this was really a very lucky thing and that she would have to get a lotto ticket as it is not everyday you win the battle of the crabs.

Then off to the pub for a beer while the kids danced on stage and kept us well entertained. The lemonade went straight to Lachies head as usual so he busied himself dancing like noone was watching.

Pity about the grey skies, but hey, you just can't pick the weather.
