Sydney Again!

EV and I went to visit Little Dude and his Mummy in Sydney over the weekend. We had a such a fun time (except for the bit at the airport when EV had a meltdown about leaving her dada behind, later when we arrived at the house she declared she missed dada and he's her best friend).


That was all soon forgotten once we got to Little Dude's digs and got settled in. It was raining pretty hard so we decided to hang out at home for a bit then we went to the mall for an ice cream. Sunday was a beautiful day so we got ready early and headed to Taronga Zoo. The Koalas were the first hit of the day.

 

Then we checked out the reptiles. EV was a bit scared at first, but when she realised she was safe from this lizard she started playing up and poking out her tongue at it.


The next exciting thing was seeing a baby elephant get a bath. Followed by the seal show.


 
After all this action we caught the zoo cable car back and headed to a Balmoral Beach for some lunch.

One thing I love about Little Dude's mummy is that she has great taste and always knows the good places to go for coffee and food. And it wouldn't be a visit to Sydney without a visit to a beach after all.

The next day we sent Little Dude to preschool and the girls went to the park (seems unfair really but it was nice having a girls only day). All EV wanted to do when she knew we were going to Sydney was to go to the Blaxland Riverside Park, which has the best playground we have ever played on. EV got stuck in to some climbing.


She started off on the small climb but was super eager to climb the big wall to get to the big slides. And with a few nudges she made it to the top, and did a classic EV victory dance.


Then it was time for a quick rest and some more climbing and hanging, and racing Aunty Sez to the slide!



TA DA!

We love hanging with Little Dude and Aunty Sez so much, thank you for sharing your home and your toys with us! Looking forward to the next visit!

This one's for you Pop Pop.
