Learning about some local finds from the Jurassic period.



Off to find their own fossils!

Making it to Nationals and Fundraising from Sun-up to Sun-down

This amazing girl won the District Regatta and the Area Regatta in slide-seat rowing and made it through to Nationals. She came 4th in the whole country and I am so proud!




The following weekend all three of my girls completed an entire day on the water, from sunrise until sunset, raising money for their Cadet Unit. Papa and the Boy were there for pretty much the whole day too and everyone was exhausted by bedtime.
