Birding at Iona Beach

I went for a walk at Iona Beach to see what I can see for migratory birds.  I didn't have much luck seeing a migrant, but it's always nice to see familar birds and in the viewfinder.

Claira With Cat Puppet
Claira asked me to help trace a cat picture.  I gave her a pencil outline of a cat from a picture on an iPad.  She then
used a black marker to make the outline and other markers to colour it in.  She cut the cat out of the paper and then
glued it onto chopsticks.  She basically made her own puppet.  I was pretty impressed with her.

Happy Birthday Nara!

Nara's birthday (28th of April) is only a few days away from her friend Danika's birthday.  Nara and Danika have many of the same friends so they decided to do a joint birthday rather than have two birthdays on the same weekend and potentially splitting the guests.  They wanted the gym at a rec center so Helen booked it and setup a party with Danika's family.
