It's almost Easter - where is the year going!

It's been a hectic few weeks.

School holidays have begun and the kids are busy at Golf Camp, sleepovers and lots of fun & games.  We had planned to go away over Easter but decided that with our two month USA trip only four weeks away we need to spend some time at home and get organised.

Emma is doing all the organising - she is constantly at the computer booking accomodation, planning our route, checking out tours/trips and activities in the USA.

My task it seems was simple - book the cars, book Las Vegas Hotel and San Diego hotel.  I did all that last week.....and then today had to re-book the car hire as we discovered we have an extra day in the USA.....check the Las Vegas booking as we never received a confirmation and finally change the San Diego Hotel as we have discovered the one I booked was at the end of the main runway of San Diego Airport......

So Emma is back in charge of the trip!

It's been a very, very wet weekend no sport so we spent Saturday at the mall doing lots of shopping  and had a long walk today.  A quiet but pleasant weekend.

Olivia continues to do Ballet/Jazz twice a week.  The video and picture below give you an insight into her performances.






Our Friends Helen & Nigel Peach were clearing out old kids toys and were about to get rid of a blue kids car.  We rescued it and thought it would be great for Jack in a year or so.  Well, Olivia decided to have a shot and I could not resist putting Jack in the back for a ride - he had a great time.


Balgowlah Heights Primary School has an end of term disco.  This year the kids could all buy headbands and the proceeds went to the Japanese earthquake appeal.  The kids always have a great time at the disco.



Well in four weeks time this Blog will be written from Las Vegas -  and we be at the start of our trip.  We fly out of Sydney on May 13th.....LA, Death Valley, Las Vegas is the start....cannot wait!
