Australia Part 4 (this is all, promise)

We had one sunny, bright, gorgeous beautiful day!

The day before we flew home was just what we needed.

We spent the morning at Tallebudgera beach and the rest of the day we spent lazing around Luke’s brother Daniel’s house, pool and beach. Miles and Masie were so stoked to be swimming. They both loved jumping into the pool and running in and out of the ocean.

Man, it was a great trip. We are so glad we went. We love our Australian family. They always show us a good time. We think of them often.

Love you guys!

Australia Part 3

It makes me sad that our kids don’t see their Aussie cousins very often. Miles is such good friends with Taylor, and Leif, and Fyn. Masie is learning to be nice, and she had loads of fun playing with all of Mia’s girl toys. Lyla was content to stay at my side. As long as I was in sight, Lyla was happy. Lyla has 3 cousins born within a year of her, so she’ll soon be running around with them.
