After a quiet Boxing Day we went to Mullumbimby to spend some Christmas money on a hat for John and a golden compass for Laxmi.

It started raining really hard but we kept going to the beach at Brunswick Heads for a swim. The sun came out just when we got there. There was a park just by the beach and a shady spot to put our picnic blanket.

Katie was with us. She and Laxmi had a swim and play on the beach until Katie cut her hand on a rock. We bandaged it up and decided it was time for ice cream.

At the ice cream shop a man delivering fruit spilt a big ox of oranges all over the ground. We helped him pick them up and he bought us more ice cream!
