Max, Louisa and I went with Pine to the Caboolture Historical Village on Friday. Louisa spent the day with Alexander, her best school friend. I went with Louisa's group - which consisted of Louisa, Alexander, Sean, Connor and Hayden.
They had a great time and spent most of the day running. I told them that Petie once lost my Christmas bug catcher down the hole in the ground toilet and that Becky dropped a puppy down one too. They were very amused, but thought they would probably be willing to go down a toilet for a puppy.
Max went in a group with Anastassia, his best school friend, and Mathilda, his teacher.
The kids learnt about spinning wool, gem stone sifting and black smithing.
Lousia climbed an enormous tree stump.
Max and Sophia ran away from the bush chapel so that no one could pretend to marry them.
Later that night we almost finished our phone book deliveries for Pine.
Saturday was roadshows - we took the camera then found we were out of batteries - so hopefully we'll get some copies of photos from someone else. Jesse and Peet were in the roadshow. Jesse was Sally, a spoilt little rich girl, and Peet was one of her friends at her birthday party. Jesse looked stunningly beautiful and acted like a professional. Peet did really well too - he only had a couple of lines but delivered them well and looked great on stage. After the roadshows, while we were waiting for Roger (!), Margaret Batten (the stake YW President) came up to Jesse and said she must be a wonderful actress because her character was nothing like her. Margaret said it was really weird to see someone you know acting completely the opposite of who they are - a double and deserved compliment for Jesse. Max said he thought roadshows would be really boring but was surprised that they were actually good.
I taught Relief Society today - a lesson on reverence and what it really means to be reverent. Beautiful and inspired lesson material from Spencer W Kimball.
