We had some of our Utah friends, who moved to Australia as well, come down from Brisbane. They had a friend over from the states and wanted to show her Sydney. I was VERY impressed with myself for not taking ANY pictures of us at the Opera House, or at the beaches. But I gave in because we ended up going to the Sydney Aquarium(which was new to me)!!
This is probably one of my favorite picture of the 3 of us. It is just funny!!!
Hello Bruce!!
Another family shot, a little more serious.
At Sydney Aquarium they have these underwater tunnels that were very cool. These ones had sting rays, dugoones, fish, ect. We were a little bummed that there weren't any sharks. :(
But no worries there were other tunnels!! SHARKS!! It was VERY cool!! They were HUGE!!!!
Besides the horrible light reflection that you can see on the shark, I thought this turned out pretty cool. You can see all the sharks, and see the tunnels that you walk through!
Huge viewing window of an aquarium. Love this picture!
Thanks Sam and Tiffany for letting us tag along with you guys. It was fun!!!
Saturday-Sydney Royal Easter Show
This is like a HUGE state fair. There was so much to do and see, and EVERYONE comes to this!
This is me milking a cow. I don't know why I was little put off that the utter was warm. I don't know if I was expecting it to be chilled like my milk in my fridge, but it was cool!
This was the highlight for R. There were animals everywhere that you could feed. We bought her a little cup to feed and ended up having to buy another one for her! She LOVED this!!!
To bad this picture wasn't in focus, but it shows her excitement!
Just like a state fair, there is food. HUGE food! Here is R's HUGE hot dog.
and Jared's HUGE turkey leg.
And rides. Back in Wollongong for Australia Day Jared and I went on this ride and TRIED to get Uncle Jim to come on it. He chickened out. But told us earlier that he had prepared himself for it at the Royal Easter Show. Sure enough it was here, so from some unknown source we got him on it!!!
Jared is having fun, and Jim is ........... well not being a chicken!!!
and there was rides for kids too!! Of course she picks the "pony ride"
It was a fun weekend, and I will post a few more pictures later of actual Easter morning.

how fun! I'm impressed with R for actually petting the animals at the petting zoo. M is a total chicken when it comes to that. And p.s. that picture of Jared with the turkey leg scares me a little bit! :)
