Laura got her results from her Dane test this year. She got a Distinction! The top level!

It’s been an interesting week in PNG. This afternoon I had to go (with some others) out to this beautiful new island resort to meet with some government officials (who were participating in an offsite workshop). It was not the worst setting for a meeting – shame all we did was eat lunch and sit in a conference room!

Laura has a play her group wrote in Drama class.

She was a boy for it. She was very proud of putting her hair up under the hat. Even when she went out to dance afterwards people didn’t recognize her with the short hair.

We enjoyed a picnic on the beach for dinner last night. We set up next to a big pile of sand, because I figured the kids would enjoy it. I was right.

Colin is still excited to go out rollerblading. He is getting steadier every time.

Last weekend we went all the way from the house to the park and back! It’s the longest he has done yet.

Colin is playing cribbage now as well so we can play 3 ways.

It was a tight game tonight with this being the set up before the final hand.

And Laura had first count, for the win! (Her second win in a row!)

We stopped at Hopetoun Falls. It is a beautiful waterfall that you park way above and have to walk down to see.

The Falls

And then we had to walk back up!!

The kids and I went to the Scienceworks Museum today to see the Brickman Lego Cities display and go to a planetarium show.

It was really impressive to see the large towers from Sydney, Dubai, London, and Tokyo done in LEGO

We each won one game.

Laura has been sailing all afternoons this week so Colin and I are having adventures together. Sometimes it’s as exciting as groceries, another time was meeting up with class mates from school. Today we went to the beach to dig a hole and collect some shells.
