One of Colin’s friends gave him “Othello” for his birthday. We had fun playing with Laura was sailing and Cliff was setting up the school camp-out.

Laura was sailing today in the State School Sailing Regatta. The team did well, showed great teamwork and spirit, and had fun.

Sarah made a fantastic cake for Colin’s birthday party this weekend.

He and all his friends really enjoyed the Unicorn Pinata Cake. What could be better than a chocolate cake with strawberry butter cream icing between the layers and marshmallow fondant coating? Having lollies (candies) fall out of the middle of it of course!

Laura has been helping get items ready for Colin’s unicorn themed party. She is sticking gems onto horn for a ring toss game.

The kids and I went snorkeling again this Sunday. It was cool so we were only in the water for 30-40min but we did swim all the way out to HMVS Cerberus (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMVS_Cerberus)

You can see it between the kids from the dock.

One of the best parts of birthdays is getting to help bake the cakes!

Colin had a great birthday with homemade pizza, a candy bar cake, and lots of lovely presents from his family.

Laura and I are doing some preparations for Colin’s upcoming birthday party.

To get out some energy on a very hot day I thought a trip to indoor trampoline park would be a good idea.

The kids had fun, but building lacked Air Conditioning! It was a really hot hour of bouncing.

Colin, Laura, and I went snorkeling just off the beach along from our house. We had one of Laura’s friends and her dad join us and show us where to go and what to look for.

Colin and I first saw a box fish (15cm long)

Then a little silver fish about the same size.

We all spotted a sea star (30cm)

Laura spotted a box fish hiding in the sand that ran away when I took its photo.

Laura and her friend also found a big jelly fish during their snorkeling.
