Dan & Katie!

So the last 10 days I have had my little brother Daniel and his wife Katie, here visiting Sydney. It was so much fun. I seriously tried to do EVERYTHING with them that I could think of so get ready for a picture show!
This is my sister in law Katie and I hiking the "three Sisters" up in the Blue Mountains. NOT for people with vertigo, and breathtaking!

The Three Sisters
Thomas at the Eco Point outlook!
Here is a pix of Daniel and I surfing at Bondi Beach...nice wet suits hu? Dan and Katie borrowed them from distant family members, and it was really easy to find each other in the water with all the florescent coloring. It was also good because the water was freezing since it is winter here.
Katie babysat by burying Mary in the sand...that way she couldn't go anywhere!!
We took turns watching the kids and surfing...what a deal for me hu?
We also did all the Sydney touristy things. Here we are touring the Sydney Opera house. It is AMAZING. I highly recommend the 1 hour tour. You see all the halls and get the history. Funny thing I remember from the tour--Each seats cushion absorbs the same amount of sound as a human body. So the concert hall sounds the same with a full or empty audience.
Saturday we took them to featherdale wildlife park where they got to pet the kangaroos and koalas.
Here is Daniel and the kids at the Sydney Olympic swimming pool!
Here Dan, Katie and I rented a three man Kayak and paddled around Balmoral beach in Mosman. My bennion friend Amy babysat my kid--thanks!!

After Sydney Dan and Katie went up to Brisbane (the gold coast) for a couple days! I had so much fun seeing my family! Now who is coming next?
