Hey, all you lovely people! So sorry that it's taken us so long to post, but we've been busy tearing up some serious Australian territory! Mom, Dad and me and Ryan ventured up north to the Blue Mountains for a few days. We even saw wild kangaroos and a real, wild wombat (that caused a big scream out of Mom because she thought it was chasing her as she was taking pics of the kangaroos outside the car in the middle of the road.) We've sure had some great laughs - I've missed hanging out with my mom and dad. It's so great to have them in hugging distance! Here are just a few pics to help capture the fun we've had the last week or so:
Here is Mom and Dad in front of the Three Sisters. The view is really quite breathtaking! On the very first of the "sisters" there is a path that you are able to take (with really steep stairs) and you can actually stand on it. So, we did that, too.
We also made some friends along the way. Here was a friendly guy that took a liking to Ryan and Dad.
And this guy was just too irresistible to hug!
Here was the place where we stayed - it's called the Megalong Valley. It was beautiful! One early morning, me and Ry actually spotted a wild kangaroo from our bedroom window!
One day we traveled to the Jenolan Caves. We climbed 1,236 stairs and went up and down ladders through the "River Cave" - but it was worth it! It was so incredible - and this is just one of 320 caves in that mountain alone!
On Friday, we went into the city of Sydney. And you can't go to Sydney without taking a few tourist-y shots! Here is Mom and Dad with the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
And here is one with the Opera House. (They must be having a good time - they let us take all kinds of pictures of them!)
We also visited the IMAX Theatre in Darling Harbour. It is the world's largest screen - 8 storeys high! We saw the film Deep Sea 3-D (hence the cool glasses!)
It was quite good - but there was this one part where this ugly, big fish comes out of the screen and looks like he's going to eat you...I screamed a little.
This was our train ride home after a long day. Ryan took this photo - Like Father, like daughter.
Well, we are having a blast and we can't believe it's almost over! It went by way too quick - but it's been so much fun! Talk to you, later - have a fabulous week, everyone!
love,
