We participated in a fabulous Family Yoga program at our local ashram towards the end of the last school holidays. It was a time to play, breathe, take a rest from technology and relax deeply into nature for 5 sun and fun-filled days.

We facilitated some circus workshops...and learned how to make dream catchers.

We did yoga and ate lots of delicious, homegrown vegetarian food.

And we did it all with awesome people who became firm friends over the week.

One of whom is a triple threat performer whom we got to go and watch act,sing and dance in a fabulous production of 'West Side Story' last weekend!

You never know where experiences will lead you...

Flex has decided his sport of choice for this term is rock climbing.

Keen to aquire all the flash new gear, we are going to o bserve what his level of commitment is like first.

This is the thing with homeschooling - there are often so many great activities to choose from you can become a jack of all trades and a master of none...which is 'better' in life? I still don't know...

"Hilltop Hoods formed when emcees suffer and pressure Met at high school in the hills of Adelaide, South Australia. Later introduced by a mutual friend to DJ Debris, the trio found common ground with the love of Hip-Hop. Hilltop Hoods have drawn on a broad range of influences they've never lost touch with the unique flavour they create in Adelaide Hills as young Hip-Hop fans. With an ethos that is both innovative and fearless, Hilltop Hoods inspirational sound has been embraced far beyond Hip-Hops loyal underground. When the heads of rock fans, dance music devotees and even casual radio listeners nod in unison with the infectios beats of the Hoods."Says Jo Wilson Hilltop Hoods publicist.

In my opinion they are the best in australia and maybe the world at their game, and without a doubt my all time favorites.

On the Fourth of February 2016 I went scuba-diving at wave break island with the Gold Coast dive centre. When we arrived we were briefed on how to use the equipment and what all the hand signs meant. We headed off to the boat for a six minute boat ride to the island. After getting all the gear on we hopped in the water and started diving. When we got to the bottom the instructor pointed out hundreds of fish and showed us how to hand feed them!

After staying down there for 50 minutes we were told to head up and head back to the dive centre.

What an awesome way to spend a morning!

Flex out.

We went to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and we fed the rainbow Lorikeets! We fed them honey mixed with water in a silver dish!

We had to wait a long time for the rainbow lorikeets to come down from the trees. This was because the weather wasn't so great and they seemed a bit nervous. But when they finally did come down it was a cacophony!
