We do the touristy thing and go to Crocosaurus Cove. We see others taking a swim with the crocs in the CAGE OF DEATH!! Then the kids get to hold a baby crocodile, and we watch the crocs getting fed - the most popular part of the day!














Kids are doing very well at Palmerston Christian School. At assembly this week Jacob was the first to get an award - his was for "Setting a great example in class". Amy also got an award and hers was for - "Your mature approach to school life". Well done kids!








What we've been up to lately. Lauren has a new rip stick, Amy lost another tooth. Tim and I worked together putting down a deck at the Salvation Army, and I learnt again how to make lemonade scones!

Laurens Wave Pool Party. She has invited 3 friends from School - Emily, Rose and Ashley. They enjoy the wave pool and between heavy showers of rain we all have a good time. Hopefully you can see whats underneath the hard chocolate shell of the Pinata Cake! Delicious! A few onlookers helped sing Happy birthday too....








Lauren's 13th birthday!


Lauren shares her birthday with the event of Cyclone Carlos! We are hauled up inside staying dry and trying to have a fun day.
The Pinata cake was made for her birthday party at the wave pool on Saturday. This was a very interesting cake to make - particularily in the tropics! Chocolate melts and sweats so quickly here. But as the photos above show - it all worked out well in the end!

We have a look at Tolmer Falls and then go to Wangi Falls. Wangi is the twin falls and is my favourite spot. Very impressive - so much water. We couldn't swim here as it is closed in wet season. We were getting covered in spray from the power of the water coming over the falls.
