That sounds great Kerry
If only Colorado was closer to Perth! We went to New Zealand for 2 weeks and it was bliss. The girls did a lot of drawing, reading and processing. And I knew my evil plan was working when we left the Waitimo caves and Miss 5 said "mum, I think I'm going to do a project on the lifecycle of glow-worms!". It was so lovely to see their curiousity come back to life. If only we could stay on holidays forever... But day 1 of Term 3 started today. They both skipped off to school happily. Here's hoping it stays that way. jojo
