Lately

I realized that I haven't blogged in a while, so I thought I'd give you a little update on what we've been up to these days! This weekend we headed down to the beach for a BBQ beach day with our youth. It was a lot of fun. We played soccer on the beach with a giant ball and had a sand art making contest. Then, we had a sausage sizzle. A sausage sizzle was new to us...well maybe just the way they eat their sausages. What they do is grill sausages on the BBQ then put them on a slice of bread (we miss the good ole hot dog buns!). Weird right? Usually the bread has butter on it, then you squirt some BBQ or tomato sauce on it and you're good to go. Here are a couple pictures from the beach day!

Please notice Sean in this picture!! I can't look at it without laughing. He looks like a little ballerina or something!

On Saturday we also had the opportunity to head out to Pumpkin Island. This is a beautiful island off the coast of Yeppoon. The woman that we live with took us over for a couple hours. We got to explore the island a bit and do some snorkeling. This was the first time we'd been able to go snorkeling, so that we pretty exciting! We climbed around on some rocks and took a few pictures!

One of our favorite things to do for dinner is get some fish and chips (aka fries). Well, Sean gets fish and chips and I get chicken! Last week we decided to ride our bikes down to a fish and chips shop then have dinner on the beach. It was night to get out and have a relaxing evening together. As you can see in the picture, they serve the fish and chips different that we're used to in the US! You should come visit and have fish and chips on the beach with us :)
