The term 3 holidays here were very busy this time. My brother turned up on his way from Asia back to Adelaide, and stayed for a while. I had my home education report to organise for my moderator, we went to the Royal Perth show, and Arden was off to an Airforce Cadets camp for the second week.
Particularly the camp made things a bit complicated, as I needed to discuss aspects of the report writing with Arden. So week one was busy getting prepped, with lots of reviewing our year, both via my planning and my notes on our calendar and pulling all of that together. I was feeling a bit stressed out about it this time, as I had a new moderator again, and I had lost last years calendar, and some of my notes. I did *eventually* find them all!
We went to the Show with the whole family, Willow had come up from the South- West, and my brother was here, and we had a fairly full day out at the show. We went to see the racing ducks, and the alpacas in particular (Willow, Arden and Irving had done an alpaca handling course, so they were very keen for this). We visited the dairy pavillion, watched the woodchopping, went on some rides, and got some showbags, and watched some of the stadium performances, including the fireworks. The finale for the night, was Arden and I heading onto the slingshot. I wasn't particularly keen, but it was quite magical being shot towards the sky with the moon as our target! We were a bit lucky with that aspect.
We also headed North to visit some friends who live out of the city, and Arden got a second outing to the show with one of his homeschool friends.
Irving got into filming and photographing the showrides, after we dropped Arden off.
Arden got back mid-afternoon from his Airforce cadets camp, and we had a bit of a quiet afternoon before heading out to the Fire Garden festival at Government house. It was visually spectacular, but a little hot! Especially since we hadn't had many hot days yet, when it was on.
