Our New Toy

Check it out! This new toy arrived yesterday. It's a gift from Ben's mother in the U. S. of A. and it is totally cool! It's a video phone and comes with a US telephone number. Now we can keep in touch with her and other family members in the States by calling them as though we were right next door. No need to dail a country code or anything. We simply pick it up and dial her number direct and Voila! We can even see each other. Because it comes with a US number we would need to call our neighbours in Australia by dialling the Australian country code first. What we can do though is easily order pizza's for everyone in the states for the cost of a local call. Kind of! We'll test it out for its prank factor later and report back. Until then Henry and Grandma can see each other each time they speak now. Henry's already shown her his Fireman Sam truck and told her all about what Santa is going to bring him.
