2015-05-08 Bush Walk



We went for a picnic and bush walk at Walyunga National Park near Bullsbrook. We had a lovely picnic and played a funny game throwing a ball on the roof of the picnic area and catching it. It got stuck a few times though. We went for a walk along the river, which was lovely, and we spotted some kangaroos. We got to listen to our audiobook though, which was fun.

2015-05-02 My First Netball Game, House Carnival & States









Aiysha: Last week I injured my back - funnily enough the same as Daddy, and we've been seeing a physio, but unfortunately I injured it again the day before States at the house comp. I won my sprint though that I have been training all year for! The relay injured my back again, and I was pretty sad about that.

At States my back really hurt, and I was so disappointed. I ended up only doing bars, but is the first comp I have done with a giant and really proud of the score considering my pain!

Clara: I had my first netball game for Wanneroo Rebels today! We won 8-4 and was really fun! I had so much fun, and I think we have a pretty cool team. It was nice to play with Aaliyah too!

C: Well done Paish considering your injury - you will come back stronger!

S: Amazing race Aiysh, and great bars! You have time to recover and get it sorted for netball and the next comp.

2015-04-27 Mummy's Crazy Birthday! Burning Fruit in Augusta!










Clara: We planned Mummy's birthday to go and do the Swan Valley Chase - a treasure hunt at several places around the Swan Valley. It was a complete surprise to Mummy, and was really good fun. There were 10 clues we had to get, and Aiysha and I had to direct Mummy and Daddy to the places to find clues and also to have sneaky snacks along the way. We started at around 11, and finished late in the afternoon. It was so much fun!

We had a lovely winery lunch at Edgecombe Brothers, and a lovely tea, cakes and scones at Cottage Tea Rooms!

We didn't get to do everything we wanted, but it was a funny day, and Mummy really enjoyed it.

Aiysha: Mummy's birthday was good fun! I loved the chase and finding all the clues. Happy birthday Mummy!

C: It was such a funny day! Thank you guys!

S: Good planning was key! Well done!

Julz and I took the Burninf Fruit team - Connor and Amanda - down to Augusta for a 3 day training session, which was amazing. All in all we touched on 12 projects, did our pitches for our ideas (with the BF website coming top), for started on the BF website with design, animations and functionality, and did a lot of bouncing of ideas and project work. We managed to get some down time at the Margaret River Pro, watched a film, played some games, and played some hardcore music. It was such a fun 3 days, where work did not feel like work. Can't wait for the next one.

2015-04-15 Girls Trip To Bunbury!




















We went to Bunbury with Lizzie and Bella, and left Daddy behind - poor Daddy!

We went to lots of nice wineries and had lots of good food. We fed the animals on the farm and had a trampoline where we stayed. Roxy and Mummy played tennis on the tennis courts, and did lots of walks in the forest. We went on pony and tractor rides, and Mummy went on one that broke down, and she had to walk all the way home - unlike some passengers who phoned for transport! Lazy! Mummy went canoeing on the river, which was really nice.

2015-04-10 Auntie Lizzie & Our Cousin Bella!







































































Auntie Lizzie  and Bella arrived on the 6th, the first day of school holiday, and she did loads of funny stuff!
  1. Put Bella's sun hat on, indoors and outdoors and in the car
  2. Wouldn't touch Smokey, well, she did once and washed them immediately
  3. Offered to cook dinner for us but never did
  4. Got in the pool, even though it was freezing!
  5. Celebrating when Bella got to sleep, finally
  6. Slept during the day whenever she could
  7. Hated spiders, every spider, no matter what size or type
  8. Loved American Ninja Warrior
 She was a super cool Mum though, and was so funny seeing her with Bella! Lizzie has since watched UK Ninja Warrior!

We miss Bella now that they have returned to the UK. Can't wait to see you again Bella!
