Book Week

Last week we had book week at school. On the Friday everyone could dress up as their favourite character from a book. Declan - the tin man, Gus - Aslan from Narnia and Tilly - the white witch from Narnia. There's a couple of pics of Declan's class and Tilly's class as well.

FHE Cinnamon Rolls

For family home evening one Monday we went to our friends house for dinner. Chuck and Laurel taught the kids how to make cinnamon buns Canadian style. The kids and Chuck made such a mess but had a fantastic time cooking them up. My goodness - they were soooo rich.

Bath Time

On our drive home from Wonosobo, there was a large dirty river along the road. This is where everybody from the villages bathes, washes their clothes and ..... goes to the toilet.

Boroburdor Temple

We drove to Jogjakarta one day and saw the Boroburdor Temple. It's the biggest temple in the world. To walk around it is 5km. And I think from memory it's nearly 2000 years old. It's actually build by Buddhist but now it's a sacred site for the Muslims.

Windows of Indonesia

We caught these guys just hanging around! It seemed so classically Indonesian to us.

Dieng Plateau

This is a famous part of Indonesia. As we were driving up you can see the white pipes on the mountain side, that's the above ground water pipes servicing various villages and farms. Alot of Indonesians hang their washing out to dry wherever they can find a spot - including the road side.

Green Lake

In Wonosobo we went to a Green Lake. It had a terrible smell to it because of the sulphur content. It's on top of an volcano and the lake had all these bubbles in it. Apparently the magna underneath the earth was heating it up and these bubbles were like steam escaping from the magna. (Couldn't believe I was actually standing there).
