World Challenge

Today we went to Balwyn High School for a metting with World Challenge. World Challenge is the expedition company providing educational expeditions abroad to schools. There expeditions teach life skills and expand minds outside the classroom. Students and teachers benefit from a level of safety and service second to none and our bespoke 4-week expedition itineraries guarantee an amazing adventure abroad! Last year in December they went to Madagaskar and this time November 2010 the trip will go to India. The kids will earn the money themself through work and diffrent ways do race money. They have to get $6.800 (au dollar) each. It will start now and they have 18 month to do so. When Lukas heard about this he said he wants to go. It sound so intressting and exating.

Purple hair

Lukas went with his friends to Philips Island to his friend Tims moms house. Tim wanted his hair purple but his hair is dark so you could not see any color. So the girls said why don´t we try on Lukas hair and see if it shows. So when I opened the door when he came home today he looked like this.

Strange weather

Waked up this morning and it was blowing so you thought the roof was blowing off. Run out to save the clothing hanging outside drying. It was a very strange color at the sky and it was blowing so much. This is a tree in our backyard behind the garage. They warned about tornadoes during the day but it never came to where we live. Lucky us.

St. Kilda

St. Kilda is one of Melbounes nicest area. On Sundays the area takes over by artists, fleemarket and antiqdealers along the street. In the middle there is also an old funpark with some small rides. A lot of nice resturants along the ocean and also in the city. They have a nice pir that you can walk out to the end and there is a resturant. In the water you can see small penguins swimming around. I found the picture on the internet. We had our camera but it was no memory card in it so we couldn´t take any pictures ourself.

Otway Fly Treetop Walk

On the way home from Lorne we stayed at "Otway Fly Treetops Walk". Its a place where they have built bridges high up over the ground, around 50m up. Little to high for me but Anders and the kids loved it. They also had a tower 25m futher up and it moved a lot up there I can promise you. On the way back down both Lukas and Jenny went on the rope. Helmet and ropes tides around them and down they went. It went fast for them to get to the ground.

Lorne

Today we went to Lorne for a daytrip. It is about 100km from Melbourne next to the ocean. We took the "The Great Ocean Road" along the coust when we went there and back home we took the highway. The Great Ocean Road was fantastic and you could almost all a long see the ocean. We also saw a wild koala next to the road sitting in a tree low down. A lot of people stoped to take picutres of him and he look almost drunk sitting on the branch stretching his leg. He was so cute. We stoped at a BBQ place and had nice hotdogs and pasta for lunch in the sun.

Easter

Hearing-lunch at home but first the kids painting eggs at the backyard. The paint was so strong so when we peald the egg the egg hade pattern on it. After lunch they where looking for the swedish easter egg and it took them some time to find out where they were. Filled with swedish candy from Ikea.

New camera

Jenny got some money for her birthday and now she has bought a new camera. It is a digital one but you can also take pictures under water with it. So offcourse she went to the pool with her friend and took a lot of pictures. Here is one of Jenny under the water in the pool. She loves to take pictures so this was a perfect present for her.

New hairstyle

Jenny got a new hairstyle and she looks so cute. Diffrent but very nice.

Boxes from Sweden

Now all the boxes from Sweden has arrived. Almost everyone is unpacked now and it is so full everywhere. Some china was broken but most things was okey. Golfclubs and diving equitment so now we just have to start getting active.

Drama class

Lukas has Drama in school and last week they had audition for the school play this year. Lukas tried out for the head part and got it. He is now playing a 16 year old boy who has lecumia and he´s going on his last vaccation with his family. The name of the play is "Away".
