You can't really see her, but this is Mollie during a swimming lesson. Mollie is the one on her back. It was the only photo I could take without being arrested on 'pedo' charges. 

Challenge stadium. This is where Mollie has her swimming lessons and Daddy is trying to lose a tire or two! It is the institute of sport for WA and was built for the commonwealth games back in the 80's. There are three more 50m pools outside. Not too shabby for your local pool...

surfers at cottlesloe, and a dolphin swam by moments later. It made the surfers clench their bum cheeks when they saw a fin breaking the surface near them!!! ha ha. 

 

We had really nice weather at the weekend, and so we took the kids to Cottlesloe so Mollie could ride her bike. 

Joel still has his doo-doo! 

More pictures of the cheeky chap. 

Joel is growing up so fast! After I took this, he asked if he could borrow my car! 

Look at Mummy, look at Mummy! No, no look at Daddy with the camera... Kids and cameras. 

We have recently had a good spell of weather (for a winter!) and we had lunch out at Beachcombers (restaurant looking over the sea/beach). After a number of efforts, I finally got a decent picture of Mollie. 

Since being in Perth, Mollie has started a number of activities (she's doing more than us!) - one of them being ballet. This is Mollie and Joel with her dance partner Sarah. 

The weather is now full-on winter. And the curse of the Clarkes, follows us to Oz! It is now officially the wettest winter in 71 years! Typical... Anyway, in a dry spell, Mollie got to ride her bike at Perry Lakes. 

Joel or 'Mr Independent' now feeds himself. ...Well he eats some of it. 

The next day after the stop over, we went to Hangover Bay. It was too busy, so we left. 

Then they all decided to be 'dogs' and ride in the boot! 

One of our new drivers. 

Had to put this one in : ) ...... Golly doing 'Ring-a-ring-of-roses'. Who would have thought.... 

The kids loved it, as there were no boundaries... The deset is not huge, and you drove around the sight seeing sections, and stopping to get out and have a look. The kids loved it as they could run anywhere, and we let them hang out of the cars as we went around, and they all got to drive!! Even Joel. (although he was more interested in pressing every button on the dashboard) 

The Pinnicles. A desert full of lumpy rocks. It's much more interesting than it sounds. The desert is 3 hours north of Perth and we went with David, Leslie-Ann etc. We had a great weekend, and stayed overnight in the local Motel. 

Mollie is now started Ballet lessons. "Joel, don't even think about it... football football son!!!!")
