I caught two little men playing in the dirt outside. Judging by the evidence, I think this one had an early dinner...(and this was the day after the heat ended and it was only 69, so the jackets came back out)
Fun game! I promise I had nothing to do with it...but I will keep it in mind for days when I need a little peace and quiet.
I love how these guys sleep. Ben was curled up on the edge of his bed one night.
Alex has been gathering all the friends and toys he can find lately. I don't know how he finds room to sleep! I have to dig him out each night before I go to bed. And he loves sleeping in his robe.
We have a new chapstick addict in the house, except I haven't exactly been able to teach him that it only belongs on his lips.
On Saturday we wandered through Fremantle for some shopping and lunch and happened on a street performer. He was using a whip to break pasta out of that brave woman's hand and the boys apparently thought the whip was too loud.
That evening we had a barbeque with another great family by the beach and were amazed to see whales breaching in the distance. If you click on the picture to enlarge it, you can see the spray from a whale directly over the man's head near the horizon. It was so much fun watching them! Even better, we got the same show last night from our own porch. Through the binoculars we could clearly see flippers and tails and watched the whales jumping and splashing for over an hour.
The family. Unfortunately the entire group shot including the Smith family is on their camera.
On Sunday we spent the afternoon at King's Park in the heart of Perth. We typically don't make it past the big playground so this time we skipped the play and went straight for the scenery.
Ben kept asking why we had to walk around but Alex got right into the spirit of things and loved running wild.
The WWI memorial on the hill overlooking the Swan River.
The city skyline.
My crazy boys rolling down the green hills.
Some of the bush flowers are really pretty but it's not exactly a lush garden.
A huge boab tree that came from the Kimberley region in northern WA. It took a lot of people, a big truck, and 6 days to make the trip.
The boys' first time to climb a tree. Ben loved it until he realized how far he was off the ground, then he freaked out a little.
My main reason for visiting this side of the park was to see this treetop walk. The bridge was pretty exciting for the boys...nothing like confined spaces to get them running.
The view was nice but overall it was nothing special. We all enjoyed our afternoon at the park, though.
