Bethany in Oz

My lovely friend Bethany came all the way from Alaska, on the other side of the globe, to visit me in Sydney! Four planes, a Chilean ash cloud, and long layovers couldn't even stand in her way of a dream trip to Australia. That crazy ash cloud may have shut down the Sydney airport and took one day away from our time together, but we had a fabulous time when she finally arrived :)

We went to see the Australian animals up close at the Featherdale Wildlife Park.
Tasiana wanted a closer look,

Makoa took videos,

And Bethany even pet the wild animals.

We posed with a Koala.

and stuck our heads through holes.

And my kids are cute :)


On Friday Bethany went on a Harley ride all around Sydney, and on Saturday we went to the city for a girl's weekend.
We climbed the Harbour Bridge,

after a manicures got dressed up for dinner,

followed by high tea at the Sydney Museum,

buying souvenirs at Circular Quay,

and the streets were closed so we could take a photo of Bethany owning the town!

After a whirlwind of a week Bethany had to once again board 3 planes to make it home for her kids' birthdays (same day different years).

Thanks so much for coming B, I had an amazing time!!
