Okay, I have another funny story, but this one isn't about Sadie. This is about a little sunbeam in our Primary. He has blond spiked hair, and wears his cowboy boots to church each week. I nicknamed him "the outlaw", and not just because he wears cowboy boots. I wrote the outline for our primary program this year, and I had the sunbeams say "My name is ____and I love my family". When it was the outlaw's turn, he stood up to the mic and loudly said "My name is ____and I love my family, except my dad." I've never heard an entire congregation burst out with loud laughter before that moment. His dad is a very fun, likable, well respected ward member, so this made it really funny. I latter found out that when the outlaw and his dad were rehearsing his part, the dad told him to say "I love my family, especially my dad", but he must have been a little nervous on the stand because it came out as except. This was one of the best backfires ever! And I'm 100% relieved to have the Primary program over. I was so stressed about it...I thought I was going to throw-up that morning, but I don't know why- the kids are all so cute and they did a fantastic job!
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for helping Sadie carve her pumpkin!
Yikes!!! Who gave the almost 2 year old a knife???
That scooper is much better!
Sadie was Abby Cadabby from Sesame Street. She loves Elmo the most, but Abby is a close second.
Wild Kangaroos that we saw in the Blue Mountains.
Manley Beach. It was a little too cold for swimming, but that didn't stop some people! 
The last night there, we ate dinner with the group at a revolving restaurant at the top of a sky scraper. We could see the whole City and the Bay- it was gorgeous! 
We took a ferry to the world famous Taronga Zoo.
This was taken at a homestead in the county where we learned how to throw boomerangs and shear sheep.
We learned that Australia is home to the worlds deadliest snakes and spiders. This is the closest I came to any reptile! (crazy looking thing)
The first night the group ate dinner on a boat as we cruised around the Bay. It was pouring rain right before we got on the boat, but then the rain let up and I got these shots! So glad I brought my nice camera!
I love the Australian people- they are so funny! They are a little feisty and just tell it like it is. We met some really neat people there. We spent lots of time shopping at the Sydney markets and ate lots and lots of yummy food. (Oh crap, I have to fit into a swim suit for our next trip to Puerto Rico in three weeks. Yikes...better hit the gym!)
Drew and I take a big trip every year with Drew's company- this year there are actually two trips. The first is to Sydney Australia and we leave tomorrow! Drew's company plans these trips for their clients, and we get to go for free. (YEAH!)
