We just arrived back after three great weeks in Australia. The kids had a blast, and the parents did too. We spent quite a bit of time in Brisbane, but also managed to get up to my folks holiday house on the Sunshine Coast. The kids had a fabulous time playing in the garden, going to the beach and going on walks around the neighbourhood. Z's favourite was the visit to Australia Zoo, seeing the lizards and kangaroos. It was HOT! But I think we dealt with it pretty well and the kids were fine. It was hard to come back to colder than average weather in SF! It was great to catch up with everyone in Australia, though we didn’t get to venture outside of SE Queensland, so hopefully we’ll get to catch up with everyone else on the next trip, which should be sometime next year.
