Paige had a great summer. It started with Paige getting to play Mary in the school Christmas program. Then she graduated from prep which was a sad thought that we were going to lose a very good prep teacher and my little girl was going to be in 1st grade. When school ended, we went to the Australian Zoo with Greg and Tonya Dardis. This is where Paige was feeding the baby animals. She really enjoys this sort of thing. Also, while Greg and Tonya were here visiting, we went to our favorite place in Australia...the Gold Coast. After a couple of days of swimming in the pool and playing at the park, Paige had enough and had to have a sleep on the beach. She does this frequently. When she has had enough, she will just fall asleep on the beach.
Some of the other things that we experienced were having Paige's 6th birthday and going to the Australian Outback Adventure. This is a dinner show with horses. She had picked this for her birthday shortly after arriving in Brisbane. We had New Years with friends. We wore tank tops, shorts and flip flops. Dan and I knew this was probably going to be the last one like this for a while. As you will see in a picture below, Paige had fun lighting sparklers with some of her girlfriends.
The rest of our time was spent at the pool. Paige has really improved with her swimming. She is almost as big of a fish as Christian. This is saying something since, when we arrived, she would barely put her head in the water. She has really grown. One of our last weekends before school started, Dan and I took Paige to Sea World, where she enjoyed the dolphin show and touching the different things of the ocean. They had a small amusement park at Sea World and she was big enough to go on all the rides by herself plus she took Dan and I on a few of the bigger water rides. It doesn't matter whether you are in America or Australia...the summers go by fast. Now Paige is off to 1st Grade to start the next adventure.
