We continue to make great use of the Sunday Funday discounted family transit passes. This time we totalled six ferry rides each.
To Tessie's delight we ran into one of her Kindie friends at the ferry stop. I see photos like this and know we have done a good thing coming here.
We decided Nina and Grampi could not leave the country without seeing some Australian wildlife at the Taronga Zoo. The emu seemed particularly interested in us this time.
We admired the wallabies and learned how to tell them apart from kangaroos. Wallabies tend to be smaller with narrower faces and more flexible tails.
We happened by the Tasmanian devil enclosure just before feeding time and so we got to see him alert and active.
Emily collected fallen flowers and Tess posed with the penguins.
We caught the seal show again and saw different tricks this time.
We also saw this sleepy red panda.
Here's the view looking out from the zoo.
Riding the ferry is always part of the fun.
The girls adore having their grandparents here. I just love seeing Tess and Grampi together.
Emily and Tess have been begging to return to Luna Park so we capped the day with a carousel ride, a trip on the ferris wheel and an ice cream cone. I'm still stunned we can enjoy summery days like this so late into March.
Our kids are still quite cautious. On the carrousel Tess chose to ride in the swan because it doesn't move. Emily chose the horse because the chicken moves too much. Still, both of them gamely hopped into the ferris wheel.
We got some amazing views from up high.
So we had an amazing weekend. Now Brian's back to work. The kids are back in school. Nina and Grampi are resting and reading. I'm puttering around updating the blog, doing laundry and paying bills. We are headed to Melbourne together for the long Easter weekend. Then on Monday Brian heads home to the US for a week of work. A few days later Nina and Grampi return to their regularly scheduled life.
