Mum was interested in having some Kurtosh, a type of pastry, so we went to Wollongong (with Puff at a friend’s house) to grab some, and see aunty C, uncle J, and E and T.

Sunday after church we went to “chaos lab”, where they had a lot of fun family activities. There was a hall of mirrors, where the kids showed off their respective comfort level with mirrors.

Puff enjoyed the place, even though it was aimed at a much younger audience.

Then on Tuesday was Huff’s long-anticipated choral concert at the Opera House. We had dumplings for dinner (the seagulls were less interested in them than other food options).

The kids were happy to pose for photos in an iconic location.

In fact, the whole family was, even if there were some photo-bombers.

Huff was a bit hard to spot among the giant choir, but we managed to find her, and enjoy the performance.
