Last sunday

The boys made delicious pancakes (with cinnamon and sultanas) for breakfast on Sunday.






We then walked all the way down to the new Recital Hall (past the Arts Centre) to their open day. Here's a photo of Jake outside the Arts Centre.





One of the many performances at the new Recital Hall was this Glass Perfussion show. It was quite interesting. We also took in a trio performing in the new hall, where it's claimed that the sound is the same anywhere you sit.





We then went to a Melbourne City summer fun activity along the Yarra, it was a show on Aboriginal dances and cultures. It was very interactive with kids being able to make jewellery from gum leaves and gum nuts, and dancing.




After a quick lunch and rest, we went to the Ned Kelly exhibition at nearby State Library which the boys loved.

Bowling

To top off the fun weekend, we went bowling. Jake was the absolute star of the day, winning by a mile in both games!!

Here's a video of Aidan's unusual, but effective bowling style.

Gorgeous Eoin

Andrew and Amanda brought Eoin over in the afternoon and we went out for a yummy Chinese dinner. Eoin is changing so fast, he's changed again and it's only been about a week since we last saw him.

here he is playing with Aidan and Jake at our place

Fun filled weekend

We had Jake and Aidan stay over with us this weekend. It was a lot of fun and we explored all corners of the city. We will post pics from Sunday in a few days.

On Saturday:
The boys playing with a boomerang-styled frisbee in the Exhibition Gardens, followed by a game of cricket.





Catching a tram down to Docklands, where there was a Martial Arts and Dance show. The show was fantastic, very interactive, and Jake and Aidan really got into it. I will refrain from showing videos that Sally took of us "dancing" in fear of incriminating myself.








We made some delicious pizzas for dinner. Jake wowed us with the World Famous Jakerella pizza, and Aidan bowled us over with his absolutely fabulous Aidan Super Special. We are currently in talks to open up a pizza shop to compete with the Lygon St ones.





(Drumrolls......)

Voila!!!

New year visit

On the weekend we dropped in on Andew and Amanda for Chinese New Year. We couldn't get over how much Eoin has grown! Jake showed us how much Eoin loves to play on the trampoline.
