Poem to Locke

Sorry Jen, I've just hijacked your blog ;).

About a month or so ago, I came across this word document on my desk top, which was highlighted and had in capitals PLEASE READ. I got all gushed and though it was for me, after the first few lines I got a little teary, as I read on I realised it wasn't for me, but it still had the desired effect! It was my job to read this to Locke from Jenna. The fonts are all as she had them done up...does it get much sweeter!

You brighten up my life

With memories so fond

When I reach out

You always respond

You're someone I can count on

When I need a helping hand

You're compassionate and loving

You always understand

Oh yes you have your

Off days too

However those days

Are but numbered few

I'm so thankful to have

A brother like you

There is no other

Who could fill your shoes

I just want to say I love you so much my darling little sibling, Locke.

I hope you like this poem I found.

By Jenna

To Dover and back!

All year I've been waiting to go on my first school camp and finally it happened!! Last week for homework we had the option of doing a mini project on Dover and Hastings Caves which is where we were going for camp. I found allot of useful information. I also found out that it would take 2 hours to get there because it is 81km from Hobart. It has the southern most school and town.

In the morning I was very excited so I got up very early to zip up my suitcase and get to school to catch the bus. The bus trip was very long. It was also fun though because I was sitting with my friend Paola and the others were behind us.

When we got there we were shown to our cabins and we had lunch.

After lunch, we had free time, time to make our beds and explore the camp!

Well, that's what everyone else did, but my cabin group was busy studying the

trap-door Matilda had found.

It was in the roof above the top bunk that Tilly was sleeping on.

Paola found a message that said 'GHOST IN THE TRAP-DOOR.'

Matilda was really scared, we all were, so she decided to sleep in my bed with me.

When everything was sorted, we went outside to start the activities!

One of the activities was making a bush art sculpture, my friend Keeley made this with me.

Its meant to be a flower with different coloured petals, and a pollen thing in the middle.

A few landscape pics.....

My two friends, Kimvy and Paola.

This is my favorite picture from camp.

Spaghetti bolognese was on the menu for dinner, with a huge delicious icecream in cone for dessert.

P.P!

Because Matilda was sleeping with me, the other girls top and tailed aswell, Kimvy with Paola, and Chelsea with Keeley.

In the morning, I had some scrumptious porridge and toast for brekkie.

When we were finished, we packed up to go to Hastings Caves!

Kimkim...

cave straws:

I can't remember whether this is a stalagmite, or a stalactite.

Can you guess?

Hmmm, interesting....

We were even lucky enough to see some cave crickets!

And this was the fun part, THERMAL POOL!

Here we had a BBQ and a swim.

And then the loooooooooooooooooooooooooong bus-trip home.

I sat next to Kimvy, and took photos!

When we got home, I was soooooooooooooooooooooooooo tired but had the most awesome time. Daddy said he had never seen me look so tired!

And thats my exciting trip to Dover and back.

Hartz Mountains.

My cousin Sam emailed me these 2 photos of us at Hartz Mountain on Fathers Day.  She is very cool and I love her very much.

kind, loving, sharing, in other words, Paola.

On the 16th August Paola took us to the movies to see Coraline in 3D to celebrate to turning 10.  It was a pretty scary movie and with 3d is was really cool too.  We had popcorn and lollies.

After the movies we went to Rain Check Lounge in North Hobart for hot chocolates and for present opening.  This is me, Kimvy, Paola, Claire, Alex, Matilda and Chelsea.

Kimvy.

Paola opening her presents.

Delicious hot chocolate.

The car trip home was so much fun with lots of laughing and photos.

Matilda.

And the birthday girl Paola, she is awesome!

Meeting, meeting!

As the only daughter, I decided to hold a family meeting

for housework, which sort of turned into a family fun night, full of hair-doing, ice-creams, chocolate....

Tuesday nights are going to be our catch up nights to see whats happening for the week.

this style suits him, doncha think?

dinner was beautifully prepared by my gorgeous mummy.

ICE-CREAM!!!!!!!!!!!

an old favourite, the CHOCOLATE game.

and as usual, Zaks special photo...

Visitors!

A few nights ago, Marty came up for a play.

We had great fun with cheazels and cheesy fingers!

Afterwards Jasper, Bessy, Aunty Ali and Uncle Jez came up and I decided to take some photos of gorgeous little Bessy in her cute little dress.

And, because he was smiling so nicely for me, Jasper...

After this photo was taken, Zak and Jasper fell over in a heap on the floor!

Zak was a bit drowsy after the fall.

And Locke was just kick'n the whole time!
