In Australia!!!!

This is me getting ready to go to Australia at Jeffs apartment. I was just a little surprised by the random photo taking. We had to wait a bit for our plane to board since we got to the airport 3 hours before our departure time. Sydney from above! It only took 14 hours to get there! Ahhhhhh, finally past customs and the passport agents. We walked to our hotel from the train station and Jeff stopped to catch the first picture of me in Sydney. The Pyrmont Bridge used to be the first electrical bridge but now its just for pedestrians and the monorail. The big building on the left is going to be our hotel after we check out of Rydges on Wednesday morning. The big glass ceiling below it is where we had breakfast....see below! This is me trying to plan our next activity and Jeff catching me and the view at the same time. This is where we had breakfast at Cafe B & C under that big glass ceiling. This little guy wasn't scared of us one bit. He walked right up and watched us finish our meal while hoping that we left or gave him some scraps. I was pointing to a snake....I think. I got to pet a baby shark and that is my hand doing so. They don't feel smooth at all like one would expect. They are more like touching a starfish or a gravely rock. Shark above us!!!!!! RUN!!!! hehehe We stopped to catch our breath after the Aquarium and decided to get a photo too! Nifty butterflies! Not a kangeroo. A rock climbing wallabee. Can't remember the right name. Did you know koala's have a brain the size of a walnut and sleep about 20 hours a day?

Easter Party

I dunno who thought of hiding Easter eggs in the flowers but it probably wasn't a good idea. Especially as I watched my child pick the pretty flowers up with hardly any effort at all. In the end I think the flowers survived, barely. One of the fathers' out of pure love for his daughter Avery and his wife Stephanie subjected himself to the heat of a bunny costume. I hope I didn't ruin that for anyone, NO the Easter Bunny is a fairy story!!! hahahahahha. Little did I know that the rest of the week was going to include this week and the phrase, "NO!!!! MINE!!!!!" along with her hitting me. Happy baby was in love with Enzo's slide. This is her waiting for me to watch her so she could slide down and recieve her obligatory applause.
Abby loves her fishy's.
The kiddo's eatch got gift bags with play dough (spelling?) and bubbles in it. It was such a cute little gesture and I have to say thank you to Erin for all the work she put in on this party.
I was in charge of carrying the easter basket as Abby ran around grabbing the eggs.
