5 Things from Down Under

Hi Amy and Ashlyn,

Mikaela will be very excited to see your first post when she wakes up. Although we will wait to after school to reply you.

Mikaela is also planning and writing her post on paper. I am then transferring her writing into a blog post, and elaborating on what she has said where needed. I have taken all the pictures in this post but in future posts most of the photos will be hers.
So with out further ado here is Mikaela’s first post.
