We had our last day in Bali where I got my Barong tattoo at Bali G Tattoo and the girls had their last taste of spa life. We got to the airport at 10:00 pm and paid another fee before going through security to our gate to wait for our 1:15 am flight back to Adelaide. The flight was not very busy so we all got a row to ourselves to stretch out. Lisa was waiting to take us out to the Caravan park at Christies Beach when we landed and we were excited to be spendin...

It was finally here; the last day of school! I was definitely happy about this event but Layla was a bit sad to say good bye to some of her friends. She had a very interesting year and met some really great friends at Clare Primary School. The best part of Layla's year was cooking and health and the part that she won't miss very much is Japanese class. Her report card was great and she was very ready for grade 4, even though she will still be in grade 3 when we g...

After a great staff show out in Koolunga on Friday night we woke bright and early to head to the airport to catch our flight to Sydney. We had been putting this trip off for too long and were very excited to finally see the sights of Australia's largest city. We caught our plane after taking back our rental car at the airport (the Astra blew a rad the previous day while taking our goods to the port to ship home). It was a short, smooth flight and we landed in S...

This morning was a tough one...we said good bye to Penny and Poppy. They are off to their new home in Koolunga to stay at the Primary School with the other chickens and the rooster. Layla had some tears as Ronnie loaded them into the car but we assured her they were better off there than at Ben's house; she agreed wholeheartedly. We will always remember our little feathered friends and how they were such great company and gave us such delicious eggs every day.

We had a true rockstar weekend! On Saturday morning we got up early to head to the airport in Adelaide as our plane was leaving at 9:45 for Melbourne. Layla was under the impression that we were going to Melbourne to do more shopping that we missed out on last time we were there (she only got 1 dress!!). While Layla and Leanne were buying me some gum I approached the gate agents and asked if they could help my out by telling Layla that she was going to see Katy P...
