Busy Busy Busy

Sorry everyone, it has been a few days since my last blog post. Mackenzie and I have been very busy since she has arrived. The weather has been iffy lately and I want to make sure we get in everything we can when the sun is actually out.

Sunday we went down to Bondi and walked along the beach and then all the way to Bronte. I wanted to write something in the sand so I could take a picture of it and I told Mackenzie to be on the lookout for water. It was a simple job, just look at the waves and tell me if they are coming up high. Well someone needs to find a new job because next thing I know the wave came up and completely covered my shoes and soaked my pants all the way up to the middle of my calves. Luckily I only had my sperrys on they would dry eventually. We walked down to Bronte and took a little detour to check out MacKenzie's Bay. It was a great day and actually got a bit warmer than I expected. We got fish and chips to go and ate them at the park by the beach. There were a lot seagulls and all Mackenzie wanted to do was feed them. I let her give them some french fries when we completely done eating. She was done feeding them as soon as they started to swarm her and get too close. We caught the bus down to Circular Quay to take a look at the Opera House and the Harbor Bridge. It was a great day to be down there and take pictures. We ran into some very interesting people down there, we always seemed to ask the weird ones to take our picture for us.

On Monday we got up bright and early, and I mean bright and early, to catch our tour for the Blue Mountains. We went with a small company, but had a great time. We were the first pick up and spent about an hour picking other people up. Finally we hit the road and made our first stop at Featherdale Wildlife Park. We got to pet the Koalas and feed the Kangaroos. It was a pretty small park, but there were a lot of cute animals. After Featherdale we drove for a while and went to a lookout over the Blue Mountains and finally ended up at the local country club for a delicious lunch! Then we got to go learn how to throw boomerangs. We weren't awful, but it never really made it back to me. We went deeper into the Blue Mountains and rode the Cable Way down into the valley. We walked through the temperate rain forest and then took the worlds steepest railway back up. It went up to 52 degrees, but felt like almost 90 degrees straight up. We stopped at Leura on the way back and got to shop around and eat some really good snacks. The ride home was long and almost everyone feel asleep. We drove through Olympic Park on the way back and then took a ferry back to Circular Quay.

Today we went to the Aquarium, Wildlife World, and the Sydney Tower. We always seemed to get stuck behind the awkward couples or the Indian family taking a picture of EVERYTHING. It was fun to do again and Mackenzie seemed to enjoy it. We got a bit tired so we decided to come back early, however not before doing a bit of shopping before we left.

Tomorrow is supposed to be rainy so what a better way to spend a rainy day then to just go shopping!!!!
