Murray surprised us with a weekend away in Terrigal (about an hour away) for Mothers Day weekend :)
Genna was VERY excited too 'It's DARK outside - look at all the lights - I get to stay in a HOTEL!' Her excitement was contagious !

Beautiful view from our hotel of the sunset. |

 |
| That afternoon we made our way to the Reptile Park |
 |
| They had a really good koala viewing area too! |
 |
| And kangaroos of course :) |
 |
| and lots of interesting reptiles |
 |
| Genna got to have a little feel - exciting! |
 |

 |
| Elvis - the biggest crocodile in NSW |
 |
| His snap made us all jump! |
 |
| Genna had a blast :) |

 |
| A FANTASTIC trip - we had so much fun :) |
I can see why Genevieve was so excited; what a lovely place to visit! Great photos of the family and it makes me lonesome for all of you. We are counting down the days until we can visit with you. Those beaches looked so welcoming and quiet. Thanks for sharing your family vacation with us! The only thing I could do without...the pictures of snakes! Yuck.
ReplyDeleteLove you, Grandpa and Grandma
Whatta great blog! The photo of the snake in the grass with his tongue out was amazing (and creepy)! The swimming-on-dada's-back video was a blast! The pics of all of you in shades are gonna be new screen savers here! And the smiles in each and every photo are contagious! Thanks for making my day!
ReplyDeletePS - Mo, you still look beautiful!
Love you all,
G.A. Joni
Love, love, LOVE the videos!! Who doesn't remember the excitement of staying at a hotel? Let alone jumping on the bed! And the running into the surf.....precious!! The sunglasses photos are wonderful! And the nature photographs are spectacular! The alligator snapping.....breathtaking! Thanks for sharing!
