Learning to Surf!

For Maddy's Birthday present we took her surfing at Manly Beach.

Matt attempted to surf also :)

Maddy did awesome - even though the surf was rough today!

Jonah had a lot of fun!

Bella always manages to ride a few good waves!

Elijah got in on the action!

Tia tried to catch a wave (while on the beach!) with Daddy's help of course!

A very fun day was had by all!

Sydney Aquarium

with Annie, Maddie & Tia. We had a very fun day - Dugongs are so cute (and chuppin' - as Mads would say :) Tia loved the dugongs, though they did scare her when the swam right next to her! Tia got a pink stuffed Dugong - she named it "Tia". Mads got a grey one and named it "Bosh" I guess it means Cow in french. Tia loved posing with the mermaid (who looks a little freaky if you ask me!)
It was a beautiful day at Darling Harbour - and we really enjoyed a lunch at a restaurant overlooking the water. I wondered if it would be my last?!
