Australia Day 2012

We were looking forward to a day at the beach bbq'ing and relaxing, but mother nature had other plans. It has been raining all week and most of the Australia Day events around us were cancelled. No fireworks or live bands due to rain. We made the best of it at the house though...

David grilled up some great "OZ" shaped burgers....

We had all the traditional Australian fix'ins -lettuce, tomato, cheese, bacon, pickles, grilled onions, fried eggs, avocado, beets and pineapple - YUM, YUM!!!

Allie played the Australian National Anthem on her trumpet while we attempted to sing - We are not the best singers.... :)

It was a nice way to spend the day even with the rain

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY EVERYONE!

End of Summer

Today was the first day of Year 6 for Allie and Year 11 for Emily.

Allie has grown a lot taller since July when they started school here in Australia - Emily on the other hand seems to be done growing! :)

A Special Thanks to Aunt Jannene for showing up early (in her PJ's) to French Braid Allie's hair!

Summer Fun

David took Allie for her first motorcycle ride in Australia on Friday. They went to Wellington Point for lunch and ice cream. It was a great way to spend the last day of summer vacation.
