Aunty Lou Lou painted the henna on the back of Tara's hand and Sophia's hand and Rissas' hand and for Luke too. He wasn't as careful with his henna and he smeared it on his other fingers as soon as it went on. Tara carefully guarded the pattern on the back of her hand and she wiped the henna off she had a beautiful dark clear pattern that she didn't want to wet in the sea because she didn't know it wouldn't rub off.
When she went in the little pools left in the sand from the retreating ocean she found that pattern stayed and she splashed and floated in the water on Luke's floaty that he had carried on the bike even when he was sleeping . She splashed salty water in her eyes and did not cry. We were not swimming in the sea as there are crocodiles in the sea in Northern Australia. Aunty Lou Lou says that this is a good thing as the crocodiles keep the tourists away 👑
Lukey was asleep because we had arrived in Darwin at 1am. We found Lou's house and recognized Colin's small bus outside. We crept into our bedroom around Sophia's sleeping body. Aunty Lou Lou made us cups of tea and found a fairy book for Tara and Hairy McLairy books for Lukey.
We a woke to Lukey feeling better without a feaver. ☺
