What fun we had today Skyping with Boys and Girls Club back in Seward. Olin and Alta prepared a list of things that they wanted to talk about and they did a great job explaining all the new things that they've experienced here in their new home. We gave Seward kids a tour of the house and yard and even showed them the 'bins' (garbage, recycling, and garden waste bins) and mailbox! I don't know how it worked out so well, but we had two Rainbow Lorikeets come visit during the Skype session and let us get really close with the computer so that Seward kids could see them. My kids had been really missing friends and it was a really great thing to be able to see them chatting it up with their buds!
This morning I got up really early and walked to my new school. I clocked it and it came out to be just under three miles one way. It was a beautiful walk, and I met up with some of the teachers that I had met at coffee who showed me around! (Thank you!!!) They have a farm at the school with a cow, sheep, chickens, citrus trees, and a garden. They have no hallways, as it is always beautiful, so you can just walk around outside to get to the next classes. I noticed as well that there is not a lunch room. Kids eat outside - picnic style! I'm looking forward to all that I will learn in my new work place! Finally, after a morning and afternoon of rain, the sun came out and we headed to the beach. The waves were great and Olin and Alta had a blast boogie boarding. Off to Sydney tomorrow!
