Yesterday we hit the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, a zoo-like facility with an obvious koala focus here in Brisbane. Did you know they aren't bears? Did you know they sleep 85% of the time? Of course you know they're cute.
Anyway a nice spot with lots to see, touch and do with the kids. Kangaroos and walaby's all over the place.
Here Lucy and a python make faces at each other. . . . .
Libby got a little close during the petting session and grabbed a handful of fur, much to the disapproval of the stay-happy-and-polite-no-matter-what handler (and probably the koala!). Lucky for Libby, she was probably the only thing around competing in the cute department with the koalas, so she got off easy.
Today we visited "South Bank", which is a bit like Toronto's Harbourfront, but along the river instead of a lake. Besides restaurants, theatre and what-not, they have this huge water park that costs nothing. Busy place today but still lots of fun.
And then the hair cut. I cut Ryan's hair last night and Oscar decided today that he wanted a matching one. Mom likes it long but the poor guy was really feeling the heat I think and wanted it cut short. Ryan did a fine job, calmly buzzing his hair while giving hazing suggestions to the children ("just shave their bangs first then they'll want to shave the rest"). Good fun.
Meanwhile the other kids bounced on the trampoline at dusk. Neat photo.
