Big Storm

On Monday the 28th Of February a big storm hit the Mundaring and Perth Hills area. It was fast a furious after a long hot and humid day. Below is a video of the flooding we experienced in the back yard. We had tree damage and water damage inside the house....but it was really nothing compared to Japan, NZ and Qld.

Let the Silly Season Begin!

Just in case we don't send a Christmas Card as this year has been ...somewhat....difficult. Merry Christmas from the Powells!

Election 2010

Election day today and The Powells went altogether to vote.....fingers crossed we get what we need to keep the Earth clean and sustainable.....fingers crossed. We don't want to return to the 50s and only have money as a God. Kayla and Caleb hear their parents talking about the various parties and we begin to understand that what we say will influence how they think about the future and how Australia should be for them.

Winter Holidays

Finally we have some time to update the blog. Kayla, Stephen and Caleb did an art project for the front garden to match the window in the back garden. Caleb competed in his first dance comp coming 2nd in Ballet and Highly commended in Jazz. Kayla competed in her first Gymnastics comp receiving a bronze medal overall, a red ribbon for vault (2nd) a green ribbon for mini tramp (3rd) and a white ribbon for beam (it means she scored) We were so proud when she fell off the beam. Stood up. Got back up. Finished the routine. THAT was the best part. We were all so very proud. We have put the photos in a slide show again as it is easier. ENJOY!

The Wedding Part 2

Welcome Kristy to the Family

Yesterday the Powells had the great pleasure of attending Scott (Stephen's nephew) and Kristys' Wedding. A glorious day, perfect weather, wonderful guests, delicious food and wonderful joyful atmosphere. We want to wish the new Mr and Mrs Healey a fabulous life together. Fran and caleb at the ceremony.

Caravans and Cars

We bought a new caravan and a new car all within a month of each other. When we say new, we mean new to us. The caravan is 30 years old and the car is 5 years old. The car was purchased and replaced the Suzuki which will be missed ....RIP. The Volvo although very nice....struggled to pull the caravan and we decided a more powerful car was required.So a 2005 Honda Accord V6 is now part of the Powell family.

The Gymnastics Comp and Dress Up Day

On Friday the two Powell children had the local high school come and teach them some circus skills. Kayla was a trapeze artsist and Caleb was an acrobat. A fun time was had by all! On Saturday, a scorching 37 degree day, they both had to perform for their Gymnastics Competition.

Trek the Trail 2009

Today the Powells and the Mitcheners walked all the way from Mundaring to Darlington - a whole 9kms. It rained then it was fine then it drizzled then it was fine and so on until they got on the bus to go back to the start. Fran did some art work that was displayed on the way. Some photos to record the artwork are below. Aunty Vicki came along for the walk too! Aunty Vicki and Kayla
