School holiday and to Kate's house

Friday

Yesterday we woke up early to take the kids to their last day in school before winter holiday. Then we went for a run to Brighton and took a look at the Church Street, the main street, there. After that we caught the train back to Hampton and went to the supermarket and bought some bread, eggs and paper towels. When we came home we ate lunch and waited for a man who was going to come and measure the exploded shower door. Unfortunately he did not come when he said he would, but we entertained ourselves by practising some hairstyles. When the man finally came, we had been waiting for him for one and a half hour.

 

School finished one hour than usual because of holiday, so we went to Sandringham with Magnus and Freya.

There they bought smoothies. (Take a look at their school winter uniforms).

And we went to a gorgeous Tea House Café where we bought scones to share and mint slices.

Then we went to the library before we walked back home.

When Sam came home we packed our things and drove to a friend to the family (Kate, and her children Liam and Greta. Her husband Dean is currently in England with Garreth and another friend). We ate tacos and then we slept there.

Today we had a sleep in to 8.40 and when we woke up we ate toast and went to watch Liam play "Aussie Kick".

Liam is the nice boy in the middle with blue socks.

Kate, Freya and Greta went to Greta's dance performance and Sam were at work, so we (Elin, Matilda, Magnus and Liam) walked down the Yarra River with their dog, Oscar, to a bakery.

 

 

The animal on the sign is called a Wombat.

Elin and Matilda...and Oscar.

At the bakery we had a Caramel Slice each, Liam had a Choc Chip Muffin and Magnus had a Jam Tart.

 

Back home again we waited for Kate and the girls to come back and when they did we drove away.

We stopped for lunch at another bakery. There we tried Meat Pie which are common here. They were hot (directly from the oven) but good.

After lunch we drove to a...CHOCOLATE FACTORY!!! There we got free choc chip to try (White, Milk and Dark chocolate).

We watched when they dipped lollies in chocolate.

The place were huge and there where chocolate everywhere. Here is a chocolate kangaroo.

We also tried the homemade ice cream there.

View of the Yarra Valley where the Chocolate factory is (The Yarra Valley is more famous for the wine).

On the way back to Kate's house we saw some kangaroos (for Matilda for the first time). It was very cool to see them in the wild. (You can compare it to watching moose's in Sweden).

Dinner tonight was homemade pizza.

So good! (Take a look at the "Pumpkin Pizza")
