Fun with Grandma
She loved seeing the koalas
Look Marky - they are right there!
Snack time with Grandma
Ohhh more koalas!
She gave it a little pet (well, poke really)
And a little wallaby - cute!
In the wallaby enclosure she wasn't too sure about all of them hopping around
But she did give one a poke
He's big compared to me!
Sometimes its just nice to rest with raisins while Marky pushes me though
MORE koalas!
These ones were really close too
What's in there?
This cockatoo stuck his head through the fence and said 'Hey Darling, give me a cracker' lol - it was so cute we HAD to give him one!
walking with Grandma & Grandpa
HELLO!
Marky too
It was a really fun visit :)
We also went to Manly one day for lunch
Do you like my Minnesota cheerleader outfit? TOO cute
The water fountains are TOO fun
By the Christmas tree in the Manly corso
It was such a nice hot day - lovely day for the beach
Drawing at lunch
The concentration tongue
and of course we had to go play in the sand for a bit
and a swing - fun
Back at home we got out the 'Merry Christmas' cookie cake I got for Murray
That night relaxing - we don't exactly have enough seats yet - so the lawn chairs came into the living room lol
Finally we had hot weather in Marcus's last week - which called for daily dips in the pool
snack by the pool
yummmm eggs
Dad helped Murray power wash the drive way
Before - After
Wow - those paths are DIRTY! This is Dad's artwork :)
Marcus & Dad helped Murray get rid of some WAY overgrown bushes around the pool too - here's the before
and the after! Looks a bit empty - but we plan on planting some nicer bushes that will cover the fence and NOT hang over the pool!! (that old bush would drop a million leaves into the pool if you touched it!)
Ride in the car from Grandma
I put my feet up sometimes so I can go FAST!
Sipping from my tea cup
Seeing if our new SUV fits in the garage - eeeeek JUST barely
opening Christmas pressies
watering the plants with Grandpa
Oh is this how I do it? Water the path?
Ahhhh or like THIS
MORE!
Nap on the sofa with Grandpa
