More Pictures!

Just thought I needed to add more pictures to the blog of our amazing Australia Trip. I hope the Woodsies won't mind me taking their pictures and adding them to our blog. We were so lucky to have a photographer on the trip to take all of these amazing pictures. Seriously...Nick Wood is a way good photographer. So...thanks to Nick and Emily for all of these!



You're CRAZY!!

Driving around all day and looking at scenery like this never gets old....




What the?? Two fish in ONE catch!!

Cool birds in Australia...My favorite comment by Jonny when we get home to the airport is when we saw a little brown bird and he said, "Aren't our birds so dumb here in America?" I would have to agree...the birds are definitely not as cool here in America.



Sydney really is beautiful..


I don't miss seeing these little critters that are not so little...




World's Largest Potato! Nick ate his way to the top.
Near Kangaroo attack---good thing Emily got out of there alive.
The boys cooking all of the fish we caught..
Emily is way too cool now! A shark? Seriously....that was amazin'!



Another plug-in for my pony! She has such a pretty smile and is way photogenic.
Can you believe this picture....a Mama Roo and her Joey! SO CUTE!

Some things I learned from this country:

1. When somebody asks you if you are on "holiday" that it means "vacation." I had a lady on the beach ask me if we were on "holiday" and I said, "no...we are just here on vacation." She looked at me like, "umm...dumb american girl." haha.

2. Don't say "fanny pack"---it is a bad word over there. Weird.

3. Don't be the girl who cries "shark" until you find out they really aren't sharks and are dolphins instead.

4. If a sign says "dangerous waves" in Australia it means the same thing it would in America, "Dangerous Waves"

5. Americans drive on the right side of the road but Australians drive on the "proper" side of the road.

We can't wait to go back to Australia some day soon! It is beautiful and feels like home there. :)
