Australia Week 2

On Sunday we visited Aqwa, an aquarium just outside of Perth.

Nathanh always enjoys the touch pools.  This is a sea cucumber.

Thianna liked all the tile mosaics.

There was a moving walkway through a huge tank.  The perfect viewing spot for stingrays and sharks.

After the aquarium we had some ice cream, well I had ice cream everyone else had slushed, on the pier.  Then Nathanh, Thianna and I walked over to the playground on the beach.

Winter in Australia is really quite enjoyable!

Monday may have been my favourite day of our entire holiday.  We drove out to a kangaroo and koala park and I got to snuggle with a koala!

Yup, our new family photo:)

We also got to feed at pet the kangaroos.

This wallabie has a baby Joey in it's pouch.

Such a fun experience for all of us:)

Later we stopped by a park that we used to play at with Nathanh on our last trip.  We wanted to see if he rememberedit, which he did.

On our final day in Perth we took a public transit ferry from South Perth into the city and had dim sum for lunch. We were treated with some stunning views of the city.

 

In the afternoon we went back to King's Park.  I wanted to find the glass bridge and walkway.  Thianna had fallen asleep in the car so just Nathanh and I went exploring.

It was a very busy trip which went way too fast.  But we are very thankful to have had the opportunity to visit with Erwin's parents, sister and her family, and to have seen extended family.  We are not sure when we'll be back next but one day...
