Aiysha: What a busy 3 weeks we've had!
I was so excited about Halloween that I told all my friends at school that Daddy was taking us round, and that they should come along. Maybe I was a little too excited, as quite a few people don't actually live near us. I did promise Thomas though, and Mummy said that is probably best that he comes along, and everyone else on Ridge Close. I was happy with that. When Daddy came home on Friday, Luke and Thomas were already at our place, and it was really exciting! We decided to go and collect everyone at about 6, so we went to collect Callum, Tristan and Mary, and Ellis who didn't go camping because he wanted to come with us. We started at the bottom of Ridge Close, and worked up the left hand side all the way round, and there were so many more people this year giving out sweets! Even people who were not in left bags for us to share around! We had so many sweets by the end of the night, and it was so much fun!
Last weekend I had 3 parties on Saturday! First, I went to Tristan's party at Dark Light Laser - I came 11th, which was better that last which is what I came last time. I really enjoyed it. After that, Mum drove me to Tikea's party where all the men dressed up like girls. It was funny, and there were lots of kangaroos around. We played a few games, which was nice. I came back from that quite tired. Mummy went out to her work for some drinks, and we stayed at home and watched a bit of TV waiting for the next party to start which was at Wayne's place, Ellis' grandparents. It started at 6pm, and we went there with our bottle of wine, and there were quite a few people there already. I played with Ellis and his friends, and spent some time on the exercise bikes. Mummy came along later, and then took Clogger away for bed. I got to stay for a while, even until after Daddy left and Mummy came back to talk to people. I think I must have stayed up until 9pm! How exciting!
This weekend, Mummy booked us to go away to Toodyay! It was such a funny trip! Even though we only went away for one night, it felt like a lot longer. We set off after my gymnastics, and I ate my lunch in the car. We stopped off to taste some beautiful fresh orange juice, and had an ice cream too right next to the place we went camping "Peace Be Still"! We stayed on a 44-acre farm with Roger and Margaret, and we had a beautiful view of the countryside! We could see cows and alpaca on the hillside. Once we unpacked and a had a drink, Roger took us to feed the cows, which was really funny - they ran to their food. Mishka was their cat, and we also fed the crows too! We went for a walk before dinner to the river, and we found loads of crystals, the biggest ant we have ever seen (Daddy said over 1 inch long!), and a rams head in a tree! We had a lovely barbecue for dinner, and played Uno. Rocker was so excited that I had to stay in bed with her, and pat her until she slept. I also fell asleep in the bottom bunk, and I really wanted to sleep on the top bunk! Mummy and Daddy stayed up talking to Roger, and to play Scrabble. Daddy kept on telling me on Sunday not to remind Mummy that she lost by over 100 points, as he said she gets really upset. I kept on telling Daddy that Mummy could hear him, and she was getting upset.
On Sunday, Mummy and Daddy were so tired because they said Clogger was up until 4.30am. Daddy was really tired, and kept on going to sleep when I asked him questions! Naughty Daddy! When everyone finally got up, we had some cereal, juice, and some toast. Roger made us a cooked breakfast with eggs, which was nice. We went for a walk to a different part of the river where we could paddle. That was fun. We also tried to look for gold. We then gave Roger a lift to his friends, and we left to find some lunch near Toodyay. We stopped for a snack in Toodyay, and went to Ye Olde Sweet Shop, which was ok, but didn't have many nice sweets. The dinosaur place we wanted to go to for lunch was closed, so Mummy found a winery, and it was lovely! We had potatoes and lovely steak! Me and Rocker ran around inside, which sounded like a storm. It was called Hot Rocks, and all our food came on really hot slabs of rocks!
We left there, and started to head home. We sort of got lost, and Mummy spotted a reservoir that we could go and swim in. We found it, and it was brilliant! I swam out to the platform with Daddy, using my backstroke and crawl, and Clogger stayed by the shore. I dived off the platform loads, and it was very funny. Clogger loved the beach, and wanted to go deeper. Mummy had to rescue her once with Daddy when she was too deep, but otherwise it was excellent fun! She was really brave when that happened, and didn't cry at all and wanted to play more!
After that, we got some ice creams, and coffee. We then set off home at about 4.30, and got home at 5.45 for some dinner and TV. We all got to be early, and we were all sooo tired. I was a little scared when Daddy began to drive up the river, but Mummy knows more about why we did that...
Clara: I must remember to stay within my depth. It was such an exciting trip, I just wanted to stay awake the whole time! I loved the cows, I kept on calling for the cat, saying 'Meow", and was so smiley! I even stayed up to watch a little Wallace and Grommit, a film Aiya was scared of! I was not scared of it.
C: What a tiring trip! Clogger was awful on Saturday night, but other than that, we had a really fun trip! On the way home, we went up a road called Mayo Road, which I thought was a shortcut to the highway, but it ended up driving up what looked like a river - it had lots of big rocks, and rivulets. I said we should have turned round, and Aiysha was scared, but Daddy just kept going, and after some hairy moments, we eventually made it to the road, and I was so relieved. Maybe we need a 4-wheel drive in future?
S: I had some fun driving up the river! Well done Mummy! Lovely time away, and very disappointing having to come home so early. Seemed to last a long time!
