Our Fun Filled Week in Sydney!

We just got back from a fantastic week in Sydney. We stayed with Asa, Karen and the Boys. Thank you for such an amazing holiday.

While in Sydney we took over 400 photos...... So I have done well to reduce it to this many! I guess that since I have been slack at updating my blog this will make up for it.

We had such a great time visiting with family and friends. Thanks Asa, Karen and Seth for a wonderful week!!

Nathan acting all cool - really he was exhausted from the Hike!!

The Surprise trip to the Rugby!!

Karen and Asa bought us tickets to the Rugby. We all knew about it apart from Nathan. We told him that we were head to an Opera in the park. Just before arriving it started to rain a little so I thought we should change - I pulled out our South African rugby jersey and Nathan was a little confused and then full of excitement as he realised what was happening! Although the South African team lost we had a fun night - rain and all.

Thank You Asa and Karen for a Fantastic Night!!!

The Braai (BBQ)

Monday night the boys prepared a great Braai, followed by family home evening and toasting marshmellows! It was such a fun night.

Enjoying the Braai (aka BBQ) cooked by the boys. It was delicious........

We roasted marshmellows and made smores for the treat!!

Nathan, Bonnie and I spent one day in the city. We explored many sites and had a wonderful time together. What a beautiful city Sydney is.

It was a windy Ferry ride into the city

The Elephants....

The whole day Will and Ewen were elephants! I captured this shot with their hands behind their backs while they were watching a show - They are so cute!

There were so many beautiful animals at the zoo

This is why Nathan loved the zoo - he said it was his kind of Zoo as it had lifts and escalator throughout the park!

The Sky rail was fantastic! It had the most incredible views of the city and also the zoo.

Here is the African drinking water from the waterhole!!!
