The renovations are nearly complete. Next time we visit Perth they will be all settled in this lovely new home!

Thanks, Patten fam, for such a great birthday gift!!

Perth Hills Discovery Centre – Em and Ry are doing the Bush Survival course and the little ones are learning about bugs and beetles

A little ocean pool (with starfish, fish, and a couple of small sharks hiding in the sand!), a TOUCH TABLE- Emily was overjoyed!… some snakes and lizards, chooks, ducks, rabbits, cockatiels, organic community gardens, playground, small nature trail with bush tucker. There were things to discover at every turn. Highlight of the day might have been cuddles with stick insects (many thanks to the lovely lady who helped that happen!). This place is literally less than a 1 minute drive from Grandma and Graddad’s!

Because in Manila, the doors open and close automatically….!

The girls have once again done a beautiful cleaning job! (And been duly rewarded with Cleaning Day chocolates!)
