until wanderlust takes over again... 

which keeps everyone happy for a while 

and after a tiring run around, you clearly need some sustenance as well 

drinks were most desirable... as were benches in the shade 

of course, on a hot day everybody loves the fountains... 

meanwhile, Rafi was a little less interested in the flowers.... exploring the wilderness was more her thing.. 

and was wondering if she could have just one for her collection? 

a beautiful... though pretty hot.... day at the botanical gardens.... Freya reckons this is clearly her colour 

and the dingos were pretty elusive 

the rhinos were pretty good fun to watch 

although there's always more to do 

pretty tiring, climbing 

and once you've successfully climbed onto a bench, it's definitely time to sit back and relax 

and in all honesty, clambouring around is just as much fun as looking at the animals 

off course, sea lions are just as good 

then, at the zoo, it's all about finding the lions 

and everyone can show how good they are at spelling... 

Grandma is visiting, so lots of fun trips for everyone... the Children's museum is always, fun and Rafi can show off her driving skills 

good cop bad cop

then someone found daddy's shades.... 

cool baby v2 

only a matter of time before the shades and the bear change hands.. 

news travels fast of course 

ahhh, the big girls couch is really pretty comfy 

much more peaceful when your sister is not sitting on you
