A and V sitting in a tree: It's a kid's life!

This week began with J's class hosting the SJV school assembly. All the kids were very enthusiastic and performed their parts well. J had to say part of the prayer and they all finished up with a wonderful song about looking after the environment.

On Thursday J, T and E had to travel to Esk in Brisbane's west to film a Suncorp Bank television ad. What a life these kids have! A day off school, McDonald's on the way, hair and make-up, costuming, 2 hours of kicking a ball around and a play in the Brisbane river on the way home! We all went along (incl. L who had just come home from camp at school) and actually had a great day out watching the filming and spending the day together.

T getting made-up.

J was filling in for a 10 year old and his costume was a bit large. He tucked it all in and looked so cute!

T had to run past a car with a "Dad" and two kids in it.

How is this work for E?!

A koala was watching all the action from above us.

This shot of the Brisbane river was taken by Adam at Fernvale, a little town along the way home that we fell in love with. (Looks like a postcard doesn't it!) The boys had great fun skimming rocks on the glassy surface. M couldn't keep up the pace by this stage and had fallen asleep in the car.

Adam thought he might make early morning trips to seminary with L even more beneficial and took these photos this week. Mornings like these remind us why we live here!
