Welcome back to a recap of our Aussie Adventures! (The first round of fun in Sydney can be found here.) We fly out of Canberra today to head to Melbourne, but Canberra has been an absolute blast! After finally recovering from a round of stomach bug that knocked us all for a loop, we were able to fully and properly celebrate Aunt Kate & Uncle Tom in their home town, and to show the kids a bit of what Canberra has to offer. This is one of the spots they had never been before, so seeing it for the first time through their eyes was so magical.
Here’s a bit of what we got up to!
Our first couple days were stomach-bug rough, so it certainly was nice having THREE grandparents around to help out with the kiddos!Cockington Green Gardens was a nice way to spend a beautiful day outside, and the kids loved running around the tiny building set-ups.Tiny Aussie things.Cousinssssss!!!!We <3 you Poppa!And you, Auntie Sarah!Saturday was WEDDING PARTY DAY! The girls were super pumped to get their hair done.#teambride in full effectThanks for throwing a stellar party, Aunt Kate & Uncle Tom!Grandpa was here, too!My cutie MIL & SIL. I sure got lucky <3Can’t remember the last time Chris & I dressed up for a night out on the town. Love ya, hubs!Never not smiling when we’re with Nan & Poppa 😉A trip to the Australian War Memorial was both beautiful and sobering. Remembering those who gave their lives …The Questacon science center was so cool! Everything was so hands-on and the girls had the best time!We spent the better half of four hours here on a rainy Tuesday. So good.Adults had fun, too.We’re wiped, Canberra, but thanks for being a pure blast!
And now we’re off to Melbourne to visit my own Aussie family. I am so excited for the girls to finally meet my Mom’s family and to see that side of Australia. Until then … BIS BALD, FRIENDS!
