Final week in Perth...

Saturday morning pottery with Grandma.

Non-stop playing with great new friends from the cul de sac in Leeming.

Mmm... banana smoothie and pancakes at Naked Fig Cafe.

Letting Kong Kong win at chess.

Two cheeky monkeys... soon to be three.

"Boys, oh boys... I think he's come back for his noon feeding." (Jaws, 1975)
Grandpa got dizzy with the girls dragging him around the huge tank seven times!!

Super cool touchpool.

Happy Birthday Kong Kong!

Another birthday, another carrot cake.

Working up an appetite for hot chocolates and cookies from Beaches Cafe.

While we're away, the kids play...

The grandmothers took their granddaughters out to Cohunu Wildlife Park. Matilda, animal lover, was in heaven from what we hear.Lucky Isabelle was old enough to hold & cuddle a koala called Banjo. Feeding the kangaroos.

Oh cute, a little joey!

Queenstown, NZ sans kids!!

Brendan and I enjoyed eight days of skiing and no kids! Highly recommended.NZ is so beautiful, don't you think?
Brendan loves putting snow chains on.

Blustery weather. Cool photos though.

Haunting.

We took our skis off and had a little picnic. Breathtakingly beautiful scenery.

My new beanie.

OK, now we're all recharged and looking forward to seeing the kiddies again...
