Pinnacles

It rained the first 2 weekends that Chris's parents were here (typical of a Perth winter) but we made it to the Pinnacles on August 2nd. Our first trip last year is here.

After the Pinnacles, we made our way to Cervantes for afternoon tea (snack) before heading to Lake Thetis to see the stromatolites. I said I would never go back but the cavitations on the road weren't as bad this time so it didn't take 15 minutes bouncing up and down to get there which made the quick look better!

Chris leaned over and took this picture. He was so proud!

Emilia's Merit Certificate and Class Assembly

I'm way behind on pictures and just realized I had pictures from May on the camera! This was before Chris's parents came for a visit in July and August. Emilia got a certificate of Merit at the assembly on May 9th.

Then on August 1st, she had her class assembly. And it was so well-timed that Chris's parents were here to attend!

Each class is responsible for a performance at the assembly throughout the year. The teachers are so creative with the music and the outfits for the kids! This year's theme was "People and Places Change over Time" with a special appearance from Marilyn Monroe and Elvis. They sang "Time Warp" at the beginning and when they were changing the time. The 1800s has piano music, 1900s had "Twist Again Like You Did Last Summer" and an Abba medley with the 2000s showcasing Katy Perry's "Firework".
