Stacks on

We had a lovely brunch today with Aaron and Olga in Surrey Hills. Mum and Dad had promised us a play in Centennial Park but it poured with rain so we went to the super centre instead. So we had a bit of excess energy by the time we reached the cafe!

Aquarium

We were SO LUCKY! Our NBFs* Sarah and Rachael took us to the Sydney Aquarium. We had the best time. Beatrix liked the sting rays best, as they swam over her head (yet chose a penguin when we were in the shop) - here she is watching underwater with Sarah.
Here were are - Beatrix, Lily and Harper - watching the penguins. Harper liked the sharks best (but chose a turtle) and Lily liked the penguins (but chose a sea-horse...go figure!)
Mum liked all the aminals [sic] but we think she liked lunch best.
Here is Rachael with Beatrix and her penguin
Here is Harper (sitting on her turtle)

And here we all are rockign our toys to sleep (the ladies and their NZ SB are off screen to the right)
Thank you so much Sarah and Rachael!
