A Day At School and Dinner In The Harbor

The kids got to go to school today and dissect a fish. You know that is always good fun. You can read the Sarah Henderson post previous to this for details.

Then the kids got to go on a dinner cruise around the Sydney Harbor. Romantic comes immediately to mind. But with this many teenagers wondering which fork to use I doubt there was much romance. Shhhhshing because of the noise and nervousness over using real silverware probably was paramount.

And by the way. While my son is floating around a very cosmopolitan city's harbor on a dinner cruise...my wife and I along with three of our kids and a guest had our own well prepared dinner at Taco Bell. So there. Take that, Jacob.

Sadly, the trip is winding down. These will be tired kids when they get home. We will see them again soon and soon they will be eating everything in the refrigerator, again. Jacob being gone may have paid for itself in groceries alone!

***
REGARDING PHOTOS & WALGREENS: I will bring printed instructions on where and when to post your photos to the Walgreen's site so that everyone can pick and choose which photos they would like to download and/or print.

The memory cd instructions should come very soon. Possibly on the same sheet.

Chris - Bula! Wanted to thank you so much for this blog. you've been amazing through this! I doubt you realized just how big a commitment you made to us when you volunteered to do the blog. I cannot imagine anyone else being so committed to it. You went so far above and beyond... the beautiful pix, the great format, adding local clock, perfect graphics, adding amazing amounts of research to get info on places they'd been and what they'd done, humor, and monitoring mail and getting it posted SO quickly, all while protecting the security of our kids. We all really owe you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Chris - using the Walgreen's upload, we won't be able to get DIGITAL copies of the pix though, right? How can we do that? I thought there was some way we could do that, as well...

If people take their film cameras and get them developed and have them put on cd's they can then upload them just like digital...
