Crabs galore

Isla had her last week at school before the holidays. Some corellas (a parrot type bird) visited our garden:


Monty doesn't like magpies much!

A Noisy Miner bird visited Evie in a cafe:

We've got a few plants in our garden now.



Some lemons are starting to grow on one of our lemon trees:


Isla made a grass head during her first week at school:

Evie's cosmos seeds only took a few days to germinate outside:



Isla and Evie did some face and body painting:

We have a few hermit crab pets at the moment:


This week, we have been doing A LOT of swimming at the public pool. It is heated and the learning pool is undercover but also outdoor. Isla learnt to swim! She can swim without any floats and is learning to hold her breath for a long time and kick really well. We are really proud of her learning to swim on Tuesday. We celebrated by spending lots of time at the beach looking at crabs! Isla, Evie and I also had a wander around our local shopping village and found a brilliant book shop that holds events with famous authors, for example the author of the Rosie Project books. We also found a great newsagents that sells lots of our favourite children's magazines. 

Here are some of the crabs:




We went on a little camping adventure at the weekend - camping on the beach!






We were lucky enough to see a large number of humpback whales not far from land. They put on a great display for us, with fin and tail flapping as well as a lot of breaching. It was amazing!

You can just see the giant humpback whale fin (white underside) to the left of the picture:




We went to our first Aussie birthday party. There was a jumping pillow, and a climbing wall:
