Perth, Australia

After missing our first flight from Sydney to Perth and then the airline canceling the next day of flights due to the volcanic ash cloud, we finally made it to my parents 2 days behind schedule.

Here are a few photos to give you a quick look at how we spent our time with the 'rents!

Subiaco outdoor market and my Mum's impressive lemon tree!

The new tandem bike!!  Bennett totally mastered it - me, not so much.

Riding from Perth to Fremantle for fish and chips.
 
Great views of the Swan River.
 
We got to watch my Dad run a marathon on Father's Day!  As usual, he was super fast.
 
Beautiful black swans on the Swan River.
 
A fun day at the wildlife park feeding kangas!
 
I wasn't as big a fan of the grubby paws being all over me as Bennett :)
 
Amazing birds that were all over Perth.
 
More kanga time!
 
Posing with a wombat. 
 
Pretty pink, dancing bird.
 
Koalas sleep 20 hours a day and eat for 4.  I could totally get used to that...
 
An awake koala and a lovely white peacock!
 
Bennett on the golf course.
 
A wine cruise down the Swan River.
 
The Tim Tam slam!!  Bite off both ends of the cookie, drink coffee/hot choc through the cookie, slam cookie in the mouth. YUM.


A delicious dinner out at the end of our trip. 

 It was wonderful for me to see my parents and Bennett interact.  Since they've been living in Australia for the last few years, they have had very limited amounts of time with him.  Australia is ridiculously far away...from everything...but it was totally worth the journey!  Sydney update tomorrow :)
