Crystal Blankenship came over to Australia from Florida (Your very first Floridian guest from dads home to meet you)
We took her to the Reptile Park and the City so this was the start for ALOT of firsts for you. I wont write much in this post cos everything was a first for you but ill post lots of pics for you to see your first time patting animals and seeing aussie animals at the Reptile Park and also your first train ride and time to the city.
WE LOVE spending all these firsts with you. We know you wont remember them but we do and we are so blessed to be able to take 1000000s of photos for you to see when your older.
We took Crystal to Terrigal for fish and chips and walked around the headland/skillion. You had never been to the top of the skillion but have been to terrigal alot since you were born. The Haven was your first trip to the beach when you were a week old :-)
You boys are my world.
Love our little family of 3. You are just so loved little man.
Looking back over to the Haven
We had to stop for you to pat a little puppy. You love dogs
You walking up with Dad to the top of the Skillion
This cheeky little face is what i LOVE seeing everyday. Taking in new experiences and loving life
You and Crystal
Pretty sure you should have been taking a nap on our walk but no you were always peeking out looking around. Dont wanna miss a thing huh
After we went to Terrigal we drove up to The Reptile Park to show her some Aussie Animals and it was your first time too. Since we had you the people at the park were more inclined to come up to us with some of the animals you have to pay money to take a photo with and we got a few photos we would probably never gotten so that was exciting.
Daddy tried to feed you to the big croc... mummy saved you
You met an owl
First glance at a kangaroo. While we were patting the Kangaroo you grabbed its fur and pulled it and the Kangaroo gently hit you on your hand. I jumped back thinking he was going to hit us more but he just laid there still. We laughed because you didnt seem fazed at all and we couldnt believe you got hit by a kangaroo the first time ever meeting one.
Being such a good boy in your pram :-)
You got to see a Koala
You got to pat a Wombat. Even Mummy had never seen one so close before our touched one.
An Alligator
The very next day we went to the City. We went to get on the train and missed it so we drove to Hornsby Train Station and got one from there. This was your first time on a train. You will more than likely end up using the train ALOT in your life. :-) Like Mum and Dad you may end up commuting to the city to work when your alot older :-) It was such a gorgeous day. Its so close to winter but the days are warm and the nights are getting colder. You were such a great lil man taking everything in your stride and just enjoying the different scenery and people.
First time on a train.
Train stopped at Milsons Point. So Daddy let you look out the door and you got to see the Harbour Bridge for the first time :-)
Walking through one of the Parks in the City
The QVB (Queen Victoria Building) There was a busker there that you loved looking at. We moved you further away and you sat forward so you could still see him.
@ The Rocks
Your First visit to Pancakes on the Rocks! You went to the one in Campbelltown but this is the original and my FAVOURITE ;-)
WOW thats the BRIDGE!
We loved having Crystal visit for 2 days :-)
On the train on the way home after a LONG day...
When we got home your Aunty Brooke (Who was out visiting from New Zealand dressed you up wtih a pink bow. I know you can totally handle that. She called you Eamonette.
What a weekend it was. Loved sharing all those fun memories with you!
