Canberra Car Catastrophe

Ever thought something was a good idea until you were making it happen? We thought it wouldn't be that hard to drive to Canberra with three boys 5 and under for a two night holiday to meet some Irish rellies. We thought it wouldn't take as long as it did to get there and we thought the kids might sleep all or part of the way down in the car. We thought money we were owed would be coming through to our account so we would have some spending/food/petrol money. We thought Joel's health was improving. We thought we had enough patience. We thought we had hit the kangaroo. We thought sticker books were a good idea. We thought Maccas was an exciting dinner out. We thought the carpark wouldn't have any dead ends. We thought Parliament would surely be in session. We thought next time we'll buy DVD players for the back of the car and go to a caravan park 1/2 an hour from home. Here are some pics from the hol.
