Fun in August

August in Brisbane is famous for it's windy days, the flu which makes it's rounds and the EKKA. This year we made our trek to 'The Strawberry Farm' to buy a strawberry ice-cream and tell ourselves how great it is to eat one and not be at the EKKA. I would like to go one year though!

During August, most schools also have their sports carnivals. Our school divides it up into year levels. Morgans grade mixed sport with games and even better, it was over in just 2 hours!

Finally August is famous for the annual 'Book Parade'. Mothers all over the land scrounge around for costumes for their children to wear, so that they can look like a book character. I only remembered the day before and thankfully Morgan was happy to be 'Little Red Riding Hood'. Mind you, after reading her the story and hearing about poor grandma and Red being eaten, she wasn't so sure.
