Pokemon GO

Pokemon Go is really popular at the moment. The only problem is that neither girl has a phone which can play the game. Lately Brooke and Dad have enjoyed a few 5km long walks in search of Pokemon. It's great fun!

ATAR Exams Begin

Today was Courtney's first ATAR exam - Drama Practical

Brooke's Baking

Brooke has been getting into cooking a bit more lately. This weekend, Brooke and Dad made a pretty awesome meat pie.

Grandma's Pantry Door

Leavers Jacket

This week Courtney received her leavers jacket. It's fair to say that it will get well worn over the next 12 months at least.

The nickname "Navigator" relates to CJ's excellent abilities in directing herself and her friends around the city...

Courtney's Birthday Dinner

Tonight was the start of the birthday celebrations for Courtney's 17th Birthday. We went to dinner at Must Winebar, which was lovely. Brooke tried quail for the first time and she liked it.

Petition

Louise, Dad and Brooke went into the city this afternoon for a wander around. We ended up having beer and chips at Petition. Two out of three Cranes voted their chips were too fancy.

Brickman Experience

Today Courtney went to the Brickman Experience with Dad, Louise, Nicholas and Samuel. It was really cool. Brooke spent the day on a Scout Navigation exercise.

Sunday

Happy Birthday Brooke

Today Brooke turns 14 years old!

She had an up and down day. After bunch with Dad, Louise and Courtney, she played in a netball final which was a little controversial and aggressive. Although Brooke's team did not win, they held together as a team and should be very proud.

Louise made Brooke a Nutella cheesecake which was very yummy.

Junior Jammers

Today Courtney played her first pub gig. She took part in the Junior Jammers at the Boat in Mindarie
