Fast and Furious

Good morning, friends!

How is your day going? Here we are starting out with a little brekkie outside in the sunshine {and wind}. The girls are loving a NEW breakfast of waffles. I have not found frozen waffles here, but I did find waffles in the bakery part of the grocery store. They girls seem to love them!

How did you like my eight days of Christmas? We had a blast touring our city. We had so much fun on the eight days of break that we continued and Matt took a short day yesterday so we could tour the AIS {Australian Institute of Sport}, a training facility for athletes who compete on a national level. Here are the pictures from yesterday.

The girls are up and at 'em this morning so this post will be fast and furious!

We started our tour in a place called "sportex" where we could try things out and play around. Here Addi won the silver, Matt the bronze and Destiny the gold!

Skate boarding.
Our favorite part was the basketball court.


We had such a fun day. It was really interesting to see the training grounds for the athletes.
Our Aussie word o' the day comes from something I learned at the AIS, but you have to look it up. One of our tour guides is a professional "walker". What is a "walker" you ask? Go find out!
We are off to library story time!
Enjoy today!
