More Sydney

On day 3 we had rain and cold. We had other plans, but decided we would scratch anything outdoorsy and go to the aquarium. It was not in our original plans, but we're glad we went. It was a really fun place.

Getting ready to go in. There were Lego's everywhere.

Replica of the biggest great white shark ever spotted off the coast of Sydney. Glad we didn't run into that guy!
In front of the shark tank. They had some big ones in there.
The Great Barrier Reef exhibit. Getting excited to go check this place out.
Hudson LOVED the aquarium.

Hud and Daddy about to touch a shark egg.
Elaina didn't know what to think. Who knew, huh?! We thought these were really interesting!
Playing with the settings on my camera and I just thought this came out kind of cool.

Elaina was lucky enough to have her 5th birthday in Sydney. We wanted to make it really special, so we found a place about an hour outside of Sydney that you could pet koala's and feed kangaroo's and wallaby's. It was awesome!

The birthday girl ready to open her presents before we start our day!

She got a really cute le sport sac elephant bag from her brothers along with a pair of really cute (read over the top) rhinestone hello kitty earrings.

She got a DS from Mom and Daddy. She was so excited!

MeMe and PopP gave her the "chip". They sell these in Korea...they have 75 games on them. They are really neat!

Now we're off to Featherdale Wildlife Center!

Right away a wallaby hopped on over. How fun!

Elaina's the first one to give the koala some love. They are so soft and squishy!

Now it's Aiden's turn!

Daddy got in on the koala petting, too!

Now it's Mom and Hudson's turn! It was a really fun experience.

Aiden and a kookaburra. It did "sing" and it was really pretty.

Aiden partaking in feeding the pelicans. It was pretty cool. Elaina wanted no part of this. She was not going to touch dead fish.

Feeding the kangaroo's.

It was so neat to have them eat out of your hand.

You fed them out of ice cream cones and they would try to just take them from you. It was really funny. Their jaws are stronger that you would think.

Everybody feeding kangaroos. All these Asian people were more interested in Elaina than the kangaroos. She was getting really annoyed. We just thought it was strange because Australia is full of blondes. She's not different there.

The Smiley's and the Roo's!

Mom helping Hudson feed a grey kangaroo. Are you noticing a trend? We made sure that he did everything that we did. He may not remember it, but at least he can say he did it and there is photo evidence.

This little guy escaped his tree and was wondering around the park. Of course we took advantage and got some pets in!

Giving a pet to a wandering wallaby.

Aiden wants a turn!

Mom feeding the crazy emu babies. There beaks HURT and they are aggresive!

Huddy finally fell asleep and he was attacked by goats in the petting zoo. They were very curious about him. At one point there were 3 goats in the stroller with him.

Petting sheep. The kid's loved how soft there "wool' was.

Little Australian kid's on a field trip. I just thought there uniforms were so cute. All school kid's wear a uniform. They are all some variation of this. Our favorite part was the hats. They take sun protection VERY seriously in Australia.

On the train headed back for birthday dinner (chicken alfredo, of course) and cake!

Yea Daddy! He found a bakery with a pink cake and these super cute candles for the birthday girl!

What an amazing view, huh?! This is in the living room of the house we rented.

Lots more to come. Check back soon!
