The Wait is Over!

My Mom finally made it to Australia and we had such a good time! The first day we walked around Sydney and went on a Harbour Cruise. We got some amazing views of the Opera House, Bridge and amazing mansions and beaches. The next day we went to the Taronga Zoo. By far that is the best zoo I have been too. The zoo sits right on the harbour so the views are amazing and animal enclosures are outstanding! And Adeline had so much fun seeing all the animals!

Trip to the Zoo

Sorry it's been a while since I have blogged. We have been pretty busy. Two weeks ago Daniel's family came to visit us here in the outback. We had fun and went to the zoo. Daniel and I bought a season pass so now we can go whenever we want. This is a zoo that you can drive through and also ride your bike. It was also Father's Day last week. We went down to the local park with some other families and had a bbq, played tennis, and then went to the pub and had dinner. And yes, Daniel is so lucky, he gets two Father's Days. Enjoy the pics!

Just Havin' Fun

Hi everyone! We haven't been up to much. Mostly just hangin' at the house. But here are some fun pictures. Hope you enjoy!

Adeline got invited to her first birthday party. She was scared and cried most of the time. Poor thing.

Daddy and Adeline checking out the cows at the Tullamore show.

Say Cheeeeesssseee!

Adeline loves to play in Daddy's garden shoes! Too cute!

We went to the Japenese gardens in Dubbo and Addie had so much fun feeding the ducks and fish in the pond!

Adeline vs. the Koala

Here's a funny video of Adeline and the koala! Enjoy!

Our July Holiday

Wow! What a trip! We had an amazing time traveling through the different parts of NSW.

As you can see point A would be Tullamore, we spent the night in Tamworth (point B) which is higher in elevation and was freezing, then went through Armidale which actually had snow!









Then we headed down toward the beach and on the way down went through some tropical rainforest in Dorrigo (point C). Daniel and I fell in love with the city! We then carried on to Macksville (point D) and off to Newcastle to celebrate 3 birthdays! Happy Birthday Erica, Andrew and Annabelle! Check out more pictures here.



Of course we had to go and feed the kangaroos again. Thats always free entertainment for the family, especially Adeline! And more pictures here.

We also went to Blackbutt Reserve to see the koala bears! They are so cute! I had never seen one in real life so that was a treat! We even got to pet one! More pics here.

We had such a good time seeing all the animals and spending time with family! And on the way home we saw an echidna! They are a little like porcupines but they don't throw their spikes. And they have little long noses for digging in the dirt and searching for bugs to eat. The neighbor said we had several in our back pasture...we haven't seen them yet. Maybe they will come visit us in the spring! Here is a link for what they look like without being balled up...http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.abc.net.au/science/scribblygum/June2000/img/f_echid10.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.abc.net.au/science/scribblygum/June2000/f_echid10.htm&h=491&w=487&sz=67&tbnid=cbFfZYO7GQAJ::&tbnh=130&tbnw=129&prev=/images%3Fq%3DEchidna&sa=X&oi=image_result&resnum=3&ct=image&cd=1

And last but not least, Daniel finally got a haircut!!! Michelle and I took Adeline to the park while he had a wonderful transformation! Enjoy all the pics!

It was a wonderful trip! I can't wait till the next one when Grammy comes to visit!!!! Only 10 weeks! Already counting down!
