Hard to believe that this is the same
girl/model who during the last shoot was in this extravagant hair and
makeup. I almost didn't recognise her.

Kim and I found a couple of hours to play 9 holes of golf on a short (mostly) par 3 course after not playing for 5 years.
It was nice getting out again after that long time even though it was very windy and freezing.

Last weekend we went to Cabramatta to have my car services and also make a bit of a day trip out of it.
Kim had a haircut while the boys has ice cream.
She also went past the show shop where they sell boots in her size.
Aiden got a new Lightning Mcqueen pyjamas that he was very excited about.
Lots of street food about to make you hungry.
So Lunch we had...
All very tiring.

One of the last days when the kids were still a bit sick we though we'd get them out of the house and go to Darling Harbour.
Aiden wanted to go on the tea-cups even though he was still suffering a bit.

A few weeks ago I was in Melbourne for work.
On the way back Kim called and said that Aiden had a really high fever (41+ degrees) and that she was going to get him to the hospital because she was afraid that he'd collapse like he did last time.
I jumped on an earlier flight and went straight to the hospital and spent the night with him. He was really miserable and it took 5 days (fortunately not in the hospital) before we got the fever under control.
After that Lucas got sick and then Kim as well....what a week!!
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.

Below the Osaka tower is a restaurant area with lots of yummi food.
The area was once a very modern part of Osaka, and worth a visit during the night.

In Osaka we went to the Toei Film Studio.
This is an area where they have filmed lots of traditional Japanese movies and where they have all the old houses and also some theaters.
It is also used as a bit of an entertainment and cultural area to teach the Japanese about their culture. Surprisingly we seemed to be the only foreign tourists there and it was definitely worth the visit even though we didn't understand a word of what they were saying.
