Day 5, the calm before the storm........
Day 5 - Starting to get the hang of get up, make breakfast, clean and dress inside a shoe box.
Thankfully the temperature today was very tolerable and comfortable at 35 degrees.
We spent the whole day visiting the Pioneer village in Swan Hill. It is a great local attraction and certainly worth seeing if you ever have the chance too.
The Pioneer village is extremely family friendly, and encourages interaction from both the young and old at heart. The kids had a great day visiting the olden day shops, making wanted posters, rope making, horse and carriage rides and making butter (by hand).
The amount of yesteryear paraphernalia was incredible.
One of the attractions of the day was taking a cruise on the murray river on a paddle steamer PYAP. It was a great experience and all of us had a ball.
Finishing up the cruise saw us heading back for camp for a much needed swim and dinner before heading out again for the lighting show this evening.
Heading to Aldi on the way home we got caught in a storm that passed over Swan Hill! RAIN RAIN RAIN!! It rained like i have not seen before, so much so, many of the streets were flooded due to the shear amount of water which came down in 10 minutes. Unbelievable.
The lightning storm was something else! needles to say Boo and Oskie did not enjoy this experience at all. The storm blacked out parts of the town with power also being cut off to our caravan park. It did not take long however for it all to be up and running once again.
once power was restored, dinner was cooked and eaten. Maciek and the Kids headed for the swimming pool, whilst i stayed back to be the dishwasher and get organised for our outing tonight to watch the lighting show " The heart of the Murray River".
There is no way to describe this or capture in words, but it was simply amazing!

The show goes for about half hour and even had Oskar fully engaged for the duration of the show.
Exhausted, we headed home to crawl into bed and reset for another day.
Tomorrow agenda: will be a day of relaxing! Perhaps we will go and see the flying boat museum and maybe a picnic by the lake - nothing really planned other than to regroup and exhume some of the kids energy before our LONG stretch on the road to Adelaide.

Familiar items in this cabinet mum? This was the first thing both the older kids picked out! Your medicated ointment 😂
