Australia Wrap up

I feel like I've dragged out the Australia trip for WAY too long, so I'm just throwing in all the other cute pics of things we want to remember about the trip.
This AMAZING pool was walking distance from Troy's parents' house.  I only wish we had visited more often.  It's indoors and fully heated too!
Jonas liked to stick to the little kid side.

 Reef enjoyed the "deeper" side more.  It wasn't really deep though, had a very gradual slope.  He was sad that he was too short for the big slide, though.  He made some great progress in going under water on our last day.  With just one more day, I think he would've been swimming.  Hopefully a sign of good things to come in swimming lessons in June.

 Troy got to spend a guys' day hiking after my girls only shopping day.  He had a great time and they saw some beautiful beaches.  The guy in the red shirt is Troy's cousin Greg who stayed with us a couple years ago, minus some of his big hair.

 Troy's parents' house is right on the water.  From their yard, you can see (and smell) an island with tons of pelicans on it.  Jonas became obsessed with going to that island.  Luckily the neighbors let us borrow their kayak.

 They were definitely not thrilled with us invading their territory.  Look at the babies!

 Lachlan didn't get to go on the trip and wasn't happy about it.  He did get to sit on the boat when we got back, though.

 For our anniversary, Troy and I spent one night in a nice hotel in the city.  We caught the train in early one morning and came back the next afternoon.  It was a great get away; thanks for keeping the boys, John and Daphne!  This is the view from our hotel room.

 Obviously, one of our main priorities was seeing family during our trip.  We got to spend a lot of time with Tanya and Bernie and their boys.  We also got to visit Troy's cousin Yvonne, her (American) husband Eric and their 4 kids.  No pictures of that visit, but we had a great time.
We also enjoyed seeing the Mullins cousins on various occasions.
The Potters came to J&D's house for a sausage sizzle.  The kids all had a great time eating and playing outside together.  I thought this group pic turned out pretty good.

 As many of you know, Troy promised the big boys ice cream every day in Austrlia.  They did NOT let him forget this promise and ate way more ice cream that I really wanted them to.  Lachlan caught on after about a week and made sure to get his fair share. 

 Just a fun morning of playing at home.

 Reef loved climbing the trees at Oma and Opa's house.

 Saying "cheese" and eating his first ice cream cone at the same time.  He was IN LOVE.
