Here are the highlights:
Glass Half Empty
2 Flights with a 2 month old in one day
Glass Half Full
Air NZ was great. We had help and a row to ourselves and free meals!
Glass Half Empty
Getting my wallet stolen in Sydney on 2nd day from the diaper bag that was in the stroller that I was never away from
Glass Half Full
Credit card company that denied the $945 attempted charge at a Target in Sydney down the road--seriously at Target?!? It was as if it was being rubbed in my face by going to my most missed store ever!
Glass Half Empty
Trying to deal with banks, credit card companies etc while in Sydney and explaining why I am in Australia but live in NZ and have American cards.
Glass Half Full
Everything was taken care of and my Mom was a ROCK STAR and helped us so much. And we still had one credit card and one bank card for the rest of the trip
Glass Half Empty
Staying in a hotel on the 62nd floor that was so tall that your ears popped on the way up and down--the poor bubbs screamed every time
Glass Half Full
We stayed for free with our friend and had a view of the ocean
Glass Half Empty
Our hotel was struck by lightening while we were there and Sea Jay and I were away from Sam and her husband and kids because they were swimming in the pool!
Glass Half Full
Everyone was okay and it happened while I was shopping with Sea Jay and staying with her family. Everything just seemed doable because of that
Glass Half Empty
The one movie Sam was dying to see with Banning was posted with times and everything, when they arrived the movie theater informed them that they post movie times a week early before the movie comes out. UGH!
Glass Half Full
They got to be home with us that night :)
Glass Half Empty
Sea Jay got super sick and we had to take her to the doctor and we ended up not going to Steve Irwin's Zoo and a Race Track near there.
Glass Half Full
We still got to be with Sea Jay and the kids all weekend before we flew out
Glass Half Empty
We had to leave the Jesus Culture conference early because of when we flew out
Glass Half Full
We got to see some of the Jesus Culture and it revived both of our hearts and refreshed our souls being in healthy worship and a church environment. For me that 30 minutes made the whole trip worth it!
Glass Half Empty
Sea Jay being sick the last 3 days so she couldn't cuddle Max
Glass Half Full
She got to cuddle Max TONS before that when her kiddos would relinquish him :) They got quite attached while we were with them....So did Maximillian, I think he is wondering where all the kids are that were constantly in his face and begging to hold him.
Glass Half Empty
Saying good bye to the kids and Sea Jay while trying to pack to leave the hotel at 5:30AM and Sea Jay being so sick still
Glass Half Full
We know how to stay in touch even with the distance and we just went on National Lampoon's Vacation that will forever be a very funny memory!
Glass Half Empty
The bubbs getting sick and being sick all week when we got home
Glass Half Full
He isn't bad enough for antibiotics and he got sick while spending time with the Liebschers :)
It really was National Lampoon's Vacation--Australian Style!
Our first day in Australia at Sydney Harbor
At the beach with Momma
My favorite picture of the whole trip!
They loved helping Max take a bath!!
Sam and Lakey (and the girls too) LOVE watching Sponge Bob together. One night I caught the picture above and thought it was just TOO adorable! Then at the bottom of our hotel there was a shop that was like Sponge Bob HEAVEN!
They just LOVED Max
Our views in the Gold Coast!!!
Those were just a few of the highlights. Other fun ones were Max thinking he is big enough to take steps! We put him on the counter to show the kids how he likes to look at himself in the mirror. The next thing we know he is moving his feet in perfect steps towards himself. This is now his latest trick and HATES sitting down and only wants to be standing up! Oh my is all I can say to that!!
I took this for my MOM! :)
