Half way done....

It is truly amazing that 6 months have already gone by and in another 6 we will be back home! The month of June was very challenging, David was completing report cards and planning Canada Day celebrations for the school and everyone in the household took turns getting sick and run down. We are all healthy now and looking forward to heading to Fiji at the end of the week. Here are some month of June highlights!

David attended a State of Origin Rugby game, which is the best Rugby players from New South Wales (the Blues) playing a best of 3 against the best players from Queensland (the Maroons). This was game 2 of the series and the Blues managed to tie up the series! He went with a group of students and teachers from the school. There were 82,000 passionate fans in attendance! It was a fantastic experience!

We celebrated Canada Day at the school as July 1st was the last day of the second term. We organized several stations for the students to progress through including line dancing, hockey shootouts, Canada Flag crafts, pancakes with maple syrup and some media clips for students to experience scenery, national parks, and Canadian sport. It was a lot of fun and ended in an assembly where they tested David on Canadian and Australian trivia. If he answered incorrectly he had to eat a teaspoon of vegemite! The school also honoured David and the exchange with the planting of a Maple tree on the school grounds.

We had a party in the evening at our house to celebrate both Canada Day and Brooklyn's 3rd Birthday!

 

We also went to Bundanoon and visited Morton National Park. We hiked a path called Fairy Bower Falls walk and the girls did amazing! It was practically straight down the escarpment and they went down and up with minimal difficulties. I think that we are turning them into bushwalkers after all!

And of course the last few pictures of great views and cute kids :)

Hope everyone is well and thanks for taking an interest in our adventure!!
