Every Day Life

So here are some random pictures of things that have been going on with us down under.

So our mode of transportation these days is a double jogger and a little pink bike.  And it's not so bad, except on super hot days.  After a really hot ride home from school one day, Lily just laid out on the grass once she got home, so all the other kids had to copy her.




We always play on the playground at Lily's school when we drop her off and pick her up.  It's great fun. :)  Here is Will hiding during hide and seek.
There is also our favorite play ground on our way home from school, that we stop and play at a lot.  Here is Will chasing our new friend, Mason's dog.

 The park is surrounded by posts, probably so that no one will drive their cars on the grass.  Here are the kids sitting on the posts.



One of Ava's class mates had her come over for his birthday celebration.  The frosting on the cupcakes was really red!  Look at Ava's funny faces!


 Look at Will's cute little face!
The girls thought that Will would look great with a pony tail, so we tried it out.


 Pretty cute!
I caught Will on camera in the pink blingy cowgirl hat!


 He looks pretty adorable, in my opinion!

So there are a few things that are different down under than they are where I come from.  One of the many is that the carts at the grocery stores, which are called trolleys (another difference!), are so hard to push and control.  Every time I'd go to the store I would get a major core workout just trying to keep my trolley from hitting anyone else.  I couldn't figure it out, but then one day it dawned on me that all the wheels move and in the states only two wheels move.  It is incredible the difference it makes!  Anyways, another difference is that the crows sound like goats.  I couldn't figure out why I would hear goats all the time, oh because they are crows.  So I recorded one.  It's a little windy at the beginning, but the goat crow is clear as day.


That is about all from the every day life down under, for now!
