Tuesday at Polly's

Sarris Family (Kyra, Luke, Shae, Polly and Jim)

Tuesday we just relaxed with Polly and the kids at home all day. My cousins are so adorable. They love to play, read and run around. Luke and Kyra can talk a little, but Shae (4 years old) is the brightest four year old I've ever been around. She is impressively aware of the world around her! She knows that there are different countries and that a lot of her family lives in America. She knows lots of stuff is made in China, and after reading about it with us, decided she wanted to climb the great wall of China. She also knows about Africa and is aware that Australia is an island. She is so adventurous. She talks about the places she wants to go see. More than anything, however, Shae loves flowers. Anytime she is outside she gravitates toward them, and likes to tell what kind of flower they are and notes the colors and the smells. Its the cutest thing! Liz and I took Shae on a walk for an hour or so and she told us all about the flowers along the walk.

After our walk we played on the trampoline before we ate dinner and were entertained by the eating habits of two year old Luke and Kyra. Kyra is a very tidy eater, but Luke tends to get about as much in his mouth as on his plate. We caught up on some more Underbelly after dinner.

Liz found out that her friend from high school had to come to Melbourne for work, and would have two weeks to travel after he finished his assignment. She decided that she wanted to stay in Australia after I left, and spend two more weeks traveling around. I won't be surprised if she ends up moving to Australia at some point, I think she really fell in love with it.
