Christmas activities

Hi Everyone,

its Ewan here today. I thought it was about time we caught up on our news. It has been a bit busy over the past few weeks.

We spent Christmas in Warwick. It was really hot but it was good to see Nana. The most important thing (and what i was most worried about) was that Santa managed to find us there. Luckily Gracie wrote to him specifically to tell him that we'd be there, and NOT at home this year. WE left him out some beer, caramel shortbread and a carrot for the reindeer, which they all seemed to appreciate.



We got lots of exciting presents for Christmas but the biggest one was a giant inflatable water slide. We have played on it every day since Christmas because its been soooo hot. Mum and dad are terrified every time we got on it because they are sure there will be injuries. 3 crazy kids out of control on a bouncy water slide.... what could possibly go wrong?


Between Christmas and new year we all went to the railway museum in Ipswich. I LOVE trains so this was really exciting. We got to (pretend) drive a train, got to dress up and got a ride on a little train. It was my perfect day!




Dad and Alastair have been doing a lot of exercise too. They went and did a parkrun in which Alastair was the first in his age group (11-14) and got a personal best time (PB). Yesterday they went for a super-long kayak trip up at Redcliffe. 



Thats almost it from me for now. There are still about 3 weeks left of school holidays. We are looking forward to our cousins coming down from Townsville next week. We will probably go back to Warwick sometime before schools go back too.

Here's a little pic of me and Alastair and Caley to finish with.


Bye for now.

Ewan.

Hi Everyone, Its all of us this time, Ally, Gracie and Ewan. Bonus!!!!!!!! We have all had such a big week that it takes all 3 of us to tell you about it. Alastair is going to start... This week I had my school music concert. I sang in the choir and I played a couple of songs as part of the senior strings group. I play the cello. Mum and Dad were so impressed with the cello playing - they said it was such a huge improvement on last year and sounded really good. Gracie is up next...... Hi All, I had my end of year dancing show this weekend. It was a huge day. I had to do 2 performances, one at lunchtime and one in the evening. I did 2 dances at each show, 1 jazz and 1 ballet. I dont have any pics of the show (we weren't allowed to take them during the show) but Dad did take one of me with my make up on. Alastair, Ewan, Daddy, Mum and mums cousin Anne all came to watch my concert. Hi Its Ewie here now. On Friday I went with daddy to get some more food for o

Holidays are here

Granny, Jonny and Lisa arrived from the UK on Thursday and on Friday we all headed to North Stradbroke Island for a few days. Here are some pics of me swimming in the Broon Loch (Brown Lake) with daddy, dancing with uncle Jonny, screwing up my face at dodgy breakfast and emerging James Bond style from the ocean. Granny is going to be looking after me all next week while mummy and daddy are at work and Jonny and Lisa are off to Sydney for a few nights. Lots more fun planned before they all head off next wednesday.

Little Athletics

Hi All, There's a thing in Australia called Little Athletics. Its been around for years and years, in fact so long that even Mum used to take part in Little A's and she's ancient! Anyway, Gracie and I go to Mt Gravatt Little A's every Saturday. We get to take part in all sorts of athletics events such running, hurdles, shot putt, discuss, triple jump etc etc. As you get older you get to do more events. Gracie currently doesn't get to do triple jump or any running races further than 200m. When he is older Ewan will get to join too but the youngest group is under 6's. He has a while to wait. Anyway, last night we weren't at the usual sports field but were at the Queensland Athletics Stadium. It was only the warm up track but was pretty cool anyway. Ewan actually came with us and had a little go at long jump and running round the newly laid blue track. He loved it. It was very windy so pretty cold but he didnt seem to mind and soon had his socks
