A whole lot of random things 2- Abbey

It is almost nearly my birthday. I will turn 10. I am hoping to get twice as many presents because I am turning twice as many numbers. I just read in a joke book this tongue twister: How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. That is extra hard if you try to say it out loud really fast! I have a lot of favourite movies. Here are some of them: Nancy Drew, Home Alone, Asterix and Cleopatra, Asterix vs Caesar, Thunderbirds, Madagascar, Over The Hedge, Prince Caspian, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, Nanny Mcphee, Beethoven's 5th, Beethoven's 2nd, Anne Of Green Gables, Evan Almighty, Nim's Island.

New Playground - Abbey

Yesterday a new playground opened. We have been waiting for 2 months for it to open. It is really cool. There is even a statue of Aslan and the stone table (Narnia, book 2, the lion, the witch and the wardrobe, now a movie) We had HEAPS of fun. There are 2 castles and underneath one there is a headless horse man holding a pumpkin.(Which is from a very exciting story)

Swimming with a Dugong - Clare

I was swimming at magnetic island when Dad called out "Dolphin!". I hopped out of the water and then I saw it again. It wasn't a dolphin. It was a baby dugong! I was amazed. You can't see the dugong in this picture but it was somewhere right near us. We saw the dugong just after this photo was taken but he was too quick and too shy for us to take a photo of him.

Magnetic Island - Abbey

We were in a rush to get to the ferry to go to Magnetic Island with Auntie Shani, Uncle Andrew and Will. The ferry nearly left without us. The amazing view pictured on the right is Balding Bay. It is seriously cool. We went swimming and Mum saw a sting ray. We jumped out of the water and only played in the shallows after that. Bridie buried her legs and we hired a kayak and went paddling in it.
