Our next visitor was my mom's cousin, Andrea Gilbert, who came to visit us in March! It was fun in December to look ahead and know we had someone coming to visit us in Jan, Feb, and March!! Something to look forward to! ;) She came through an organized trip where she traveled with other people, but came to Australia early so she could spend a few days with us in Sydney before meeting up with her tour group to travel the rest of Australia. We had a great time showing her around all the amazing sights Sydney has to offer.
This kookaburra was sitting in a tree in our backyard, and I was able to get a picture of it! One thing I love about Australia, is all the wildlife that is only found here in this country. I love that it's "common" for us to hear the laughing voice of the wild kookaburra in our own back yard! Not to mention the brightly colored parrots we always see and the cockatoos! When you haven't grown up here, it's just so cool and never gets old!
showing her around Sydney - we took her to "Wagamama" for lunch. It's one of our fun little favorites that we have fond memories of with our friends, Mike and Lynsey, while touring around Europe with them back in the day..... ;) ahhhh.....good times!
we walked over to the Sydney Wildlife center and the kids got to pet a snake - ew!
we then went and showed her the aquarium
We knew she would see the Sydney Opera House and the Botanical Gardens with her tour, so we went up in the Sydney Tower where they have the new 4D movie....ooooohhh!!
