It Has Been a While!!

Well, it has been a while since we last blogged. I blame it on the fact that it takes forever for pictures to download into the blog (probably because I am doing it a totally lame way) but we have also been very busy! My parents came to visit in October and it was amazing to see them and show them some of this amazing country. We went to the Hunter Valley wine region of New South Wales,  the Blue Mountains (which really do look blue in some light), and Jenolan Caves.

Jenolan Caves (over 900 stairs and the girls did them all...so did the grandparents!!)

 The girls and I took Grandma and Grandpa into Sydney to see the harbour and Opera House. Then we took a ferry to famous Manly Beach!

One of our favorite beaches in Jervis Bay!

 All good things come to an end and we had to say good-bye to our company. We then spent a weekend in Sydney and a weekend in Bateman's Bay.
