Birthday Boy and Paths

Yesterday dad turned 48 and we decided (Catherine, mum and I) to go out for the morning. We were going to go shopping but while we were driving along the road mum said "Do you want to go to Sunshine Plaza?". Catherine and I said "yes", and we ended up watching Ratatouille at the movies. We also had a spot of morning tea at this donut place called Dreamy Donuts, and they were scrumptious. We decided to call Donut King, "Donut ex-King". Then we decided to buy a family pack of donuts for dad's birthday cake. Afterwards we went to Subway for lunch, then we set off to try and find Nambour.

We were driving along the road and mum saw an information centre, so mum went in. She came out and said "we've been driving the wrong way", so we turned around and started heading the other way. It turns out that Nambour is right near Maroochydore. Then I had to go to the dentist. Once we were in Nambour we had to find the hospital. We finally found it and after I had gone to the dentist we had to go to mum's uni.

We got there in the end, and it was pouring rain. We got out and there was this little wooden bridge - I called it a floodway for my wheelchair! We had afternoon tea - half a sandwich and a bottle of water. Then we set off again to do some shopping at Spotlight. Once we did all that and were heading home, I was secretly hoping that the floodway was not flooded in, otherwise we couldn't get home.

We got home soaking wet and we had a nice dinner and dad got his donuts with one candle on top.

About the paths. I know its a bit late but I'm getting paths down to what we call the Fern Faery Fen (you probably read about it on dad and Catherine's blogs). I'm really excited. I'm mostly excited about the machinery. The other day we got a dump truck full of mulch for the leveling out of the paths. In early October we're going to have a bobcat and an excavator carve a two-hundred metre long path for me. We're also going to get at least one dump truck of gravel for me to easily go over the path in my wheelchair.
