Aiden as part of his school had to do his holy communion.
He looked very handsome in his little suit.

One weekend we went to the Royal National Park (half an hour south) to go canoeing with the Family.
It was a fun day out and fortunately we can still fit the boys into a single canoe unlike Chong who had to get a rowing boat for his family - they are a lot harder work.

It is not often that Aiden gets an award for good work at school, but when he does, he is very proud.

Earlier in the year at Easter time we went camping up at Barrington Tops 5 hours drive north of Sydney.
It is a very tall mountain range with some excellent walks, rivers etc.
We had a great weekend with friends sitting around the fire roasting marshmellows, walking and canoeing.

Fairly recently we started the boys on Karate.
We thought it would be a good activity for them to build strength, motor skills and discipline.
Especially Aiden is really enjoying it and putting in the hard work at home practicing. He has become stronger throughout the classes which is great. Before we started he had almost no core strength and now he is able to do sit-ups and pushups.
This weekend both Aiden and Lucas were pulled up for their first proper graduation from the white belts to the red belts and they both passed.

The Osaka aquarium is massive and very impressive. The centre piece is the massive tank in the middle with two large whale sharks and which is also full of other sharks such as hammerheads.

Tontonburi is know as the chefs/kitchen area. Here you can buy everything needed for a japanese restaurant.
It is also full of actual restaurants and other oddities such as more exotic places. It has what is known as Osaka's best Ramen restaurant (the one with the long counter in the photos below) - and Yes, the Ramen was very good.
Here it is also possible to eat specialties such as the Puffa fish.
It was also one of the few places where I saw real Samurai swords for sale.
