Adelaide Day 1

We took a weekend trip out to Adelaide and stayed in the beach side town of Glenelg. Here are Maeby and Spencer at the Melbourne Airport raring to go and already having a good time.

When we got there it was morning time, we dropped our stuff off at our hotel and headed out towards the beach. We played a bit in this big grassy field, running up and down the hills. The kids needed to run after a long morning of travel. 

A passerby was nice enough to take a family photo of us out on the Glenelg Pier.

We took a train into Adelaide to look around, this fountain was in the center of the town. Sorry I can't remember what it was called. Probably Queen Victoria Fountain or something like that.

A really beautiful cathedral down town.

Back at Glenelg on the beach in the afternoon, the kids collected shells and made sand castles.

...and got their feet wet.

Fun with shells.

We ate dinner at a place called "The Hogs Breath Cafe", it was yummy and the kids had fun.

Chinaman's Island Walk

We often go for walks down around Chinaman's Island, a little peninsula that darts out into Lake Mulwala forming a lagoon/billabong. Its about 5 minutes walk from our house and its usually where we go to unwind and get a little fresh air or exercise. This day was just perfect so we decided to take some photos of our walk. Mel resting by the lagoon.

Maeby exploring the area off the trail.

She found a walking stick, now she's ready for our walk.

Spence has his stick too.

Walking is a little too low-key for Liam, he likes to spice things up a bit.

Looking back over the marsh and the billabong towards the houses.

Big fallen gum tree right at the lakes edge, a great spot to take in the scenery and to watch the sunsets on the lake. Maeby and Mom having a little rest.

Maeby is a bit wiggly, she can't sit still for more than 5 seconds...ever.

Maeby needed a picture with her Daddy.

There she goes again...
