2009-09-11 Circus, State Champs and Daddys Day!







































Aiysha:
We went to the circus! It was brilliant! I was so excited, and it was everything I thought it would be! It was called the Circus Joseph Ashton, and it was on at Joondalup. It had animals, gymnastics, amazing apparatus which spun round the whole tent, jugglers, amazing lights, clowns and the best thing - Miniature Ponies! Roxy could not stop talking about them, and we got to go on them in the interval! It was really fun!

I also had my State Championship Gymnastic competition, and it was really good fun. It was on a Friday, so I had to miss some school too! Unfortunately, I fell off the beam even though I practiced loads at home, but I will get it right for next time. Daddy said my floor routine was amazing, and that I was really graceful. I got the best in my team for that. Overall, our team came second, and I came 4th on the bars, and 5th on the floor! I love getting medals and ribbons!

Clogger started her swimming lessons, and after she got upset in the first lesson, she is so brave now! I am so proud of her when she goes underwater and dives in. She can almost do the splits too! She is going to be a really good dancer, gymnast and swimmer!

I have been training with Daddy over the past few weeks for my School Carnival. We have been training on a slope, and now we are going to the school oval to practice. Last week, I raced Mummy 5 times, and beat her everytime! I still cannot beat Daddy, but he better watch out!

I have been for a few plays with people too! I am so busy! At Laurens, she has got so many motor toys that it is so much fun! I love going on her motor bike, as it is pink, and I go really fast on it! I have to wear my helmet too! I also went to Martina's for a play, but she got a bit upset when I left. Lauren, Tiana and Cameron have also been to mine for a play.

On Father's Day we had so many surprises for Daddy! He loved his presents, even though they were for me and Mummy - chocolate and chutney, but he loved his cards and Cloggers table mat. We then went to the Swan Valley, and went to the Chocolate Factory. We ate quite a few, but didn't buy anything. We decided to go to an Illusionary Art museum, and Daddy got talking to the artist. They were quite amazing metal paintings though, and they moved when you walked past them depending on the light. Daddy and Mummy said they had never seen anything like that before, and neither had I. We then went to Lilly In The Valley, a really peaceful cafe and we had scones and drinks. We got home late for Roxy's sleep, and then we took Daddy to his surprise dinner at Arirang Korean. Daddy and Mummy loved it, and I did not think I would, but I ate loads! I loved the deep fried ice-cream too! Happy Fathers Day Daddy!

I love the Go Girl! books! I have read so many of them now, and can't wait to get more!

Grandma sent us a baby picture - we had no idea who it was, but Mummy found the picture, and it was Clog. Daddy was not happy he got it wrong.

Clogger: Last week when we dropped Lauren off, Daddy and I went to a park with a small hill! I said to Daddy "Can we go up the mountain?", and so we did, and it was really windy! Daddy found me some leaves, and I threw them up in the air and we watched them fly in the wind! It was really funny, and we ran up and down the mountain so many times! It was fun!

I loved the miniature ponies! I wanted to ride them all day, and told Mummy that. I was sad that I could not.

I am getting more brave in my swimming lessons, and I am starting to enjoy them now, I think! I can't wait to swim in our own pool!

C: Busy, busy busy! I can't wait to be on holiday! only 3 weeks to go! We need to spend more time in the Swan Valley - it is sooo close!

S: Had the best Fathers Day ever! It was so funny, and so many surprises! Thank you!
