December in photos

Well , here it is, our Brissie Holiday in pictures.We left on the 10th Dec and stayed with Leone for 3 nights.Here are the boys after the plane landed at Brisbane Airport.The hostess organised them to visit the pilots and cockpit.They were stoked after their first plane trip.

Here we are outside, waiting for Leone to pick us up.

Day 2 at SeaWorld, saw the boys trying all sorts of rides.This one, they had to both pull themselves all the way up to the top using ropes.William said Steven was being lazy..hehe

And yes, we did go on this ride.William squealed in delight, Me I screamed, and Steven just had his head down...a little scary for him me thinks.

The Dolphin show was amazing, and would go again and again.You can see in this photo, just how high the got into the air...AWESOME!!!!!!!!

William and I on the Skyways.What a great way to see all of Seaworld by air.

Day 3, enjoying a walk along the esplanade with Leone and the boys.We saw Model train displays and look at this skyline


Here is the best tour guide a gal could want and not to mention a wonderful friend.Thanks Leone, from the bottom of all our hearts. xxoo

The boys loved this ride where they had to pedal these vehicles around a rail track.You had to be quick to grab them too...very popular.Still didn't wear them out though...hey Leone???
Day 4, saw Leone, the boys and I meeting up with Leah, Al and their two kiddies at Max Kennar Choccy cafe...OMG...if you get the chance do go...what yummilicious food.Leone and I had Belgian Waffles drizzled with melted hot milk chocolate, with side bowls of fruit and icecream.Yum!!!! Then the boys and I said goodbye to Leone and headed home with Leah.

The pool was very popular as it was sooooooooooooooo HOT!!!!!!

Day 5, saw us all getting up early and Al driving us to Australia Zoo.What a fantastic day and really enjoyed spending it with Leah , Al and the kids.Here we are , Leah taking a photo of us at the Irwin statue.

The beautiful Asian elephants and their amazing enclosure.Everything was so very clean, and so spacious for the animals.A real credit to all the people who work there and of course the Irwin family.

A quiet moment together, while the kids and Al were feeding the kangaroos.There were a couple of outtakes, but I don't think we will share in here.LOL


This brought tears to my eyes, going along and reading all of these, in memorium of Steve.There was stand after stand under the Crocoseum.


This Kangaroo was getting very friendly with William, sitting on his knee


The boys sitting a true to scale crocodile....incredible that they can get so big


Day 6 , and we met up with Kristy at Lollipops, a play centre for kids and a meeting place for Mums.We spent nearly 3 hours here.Declyn got on so well with my two .Then we said goodbye and Leah dropped us at a shopping centre near her home so that she could get the kids down for a little sleep.


And this is our last day...boohoo.The kids had so much fun together and have said they can't wait to see these two little munchkins again soon. Love to you guys...Thanks for having us. xxoo


So there it is, hope you like a glimpse into our holiday...just for you Jewls...I didn't want that kick up the Ahem!!!!!LOL.
