The pool at Bunker Bay
Today we traveled south of Perth for a short get away. We stayed at Bunker Bay. Maddie was excited to swim in the “heated” pool. It was not even close to being warm, so we walked down to the beach and found the water there a bit warmer. It was fun to watch of the progression of Maddie’s “only getting her feet wet” to being totally drenched.

Izzie
Today is Maddie’s 7th birthday. She ate McDonald’s hash browns for breakfast and then we went to the grand opening of Toys R Us to spend her birthday money. She chose 3 mermaid dolls that are from an Australian show “H2O, just add water.” Then we stopped at Subway and headed to Cottsloe Beach for a picnic and to play at the playground.

Watching her shows
Izzie thinks the best place to watch her shows in a box stuffed with blankets.
Today we went downtown and met Luke for lunch at Nandos, a favorite London chicken place. Then we walked to the mint. Izzie would be worth over $600,000 if she were made of gold and Maddie would be worth over a million.

After lunch we drove to Kings Park for a stroll, to do a few cartwheels and to see the view.

Today we went to Freemantle on the train. We shopped a little, mosied a bit, ate lunch, walked to the water, ate Magnum bars and came home it was a fun day out.

The New House
A super bike rider
Yesterday Maddie told me about all the people that helped her learn to ride her bike. Uncle James, Aunt Ruth, Caitlin and Aimee, Lainey and Havana, Aunt Krissy and her Dad. They all taught her something different that made it possible to race up and down her street and and around the square.

Although it’s winter here, there were still people at the beach and surfers in the water.
