Burns Beach and the Aquarium !

On Saturday we visited Burns beach and of course it was beautiful ! It was a lovely 90 degrees that day and I enjoyed every minute of it.  Burns was relatively quiet and small, decent waves, but the flies were so annoying! They were very persistent and liked to land right between your eyes.  I thought maybe it was just being aggravated by them but I started watching everyone else and they were having the same problem as well!

On Sunday we went to the Perth aquarium called Aqwa, it was really small and kind of lame LOL The only really cool part was when we went into the shark area, through a tunnel, and they were swimming over our heads and you could look up and see all their teeth !! 

Pumpkins!!

Last week I went on a mission to find some pumpkins and had great success!!  It wasn't as difficult finding them as I thought it would be, I found them on my first stop at Woolworths (grocery store in the mall) . I thought I was getting a great deal on them but instead of 3.45 a pumpkin it was 3.45 a kilo lol And to my surprise they had a pumpkin carving set conveniently next to them.  No stencils but thanks to the lovely internet we were able to find some free ones and print them off !! The cashier said she thinks this is the first year they have sold pumpkins and seemed really excited about us carving them lol

Meet Como

Thought I would take some pics of Como, the little suburb of Perth we live in .  Not sure the population  but it has a small town vibe to it and I love that there are boutiques, a grocery store, little restaurants, a movie theater all within walking distance from our apartment! We are only 15 minutes from downtown Perth which has a completely different vibe to it, 20 to 30 minutes from gorgeous beaches and not even a mile down the road from the Swan River and parks! Most of the pictures I took are things I see every day on my walking trail :)
