On Sunday we drove to Dubbo, our final stop. Dubbo is about 4-5hours drive from the Blue Mountains. It rained most of the trip, very very heavily at times. We made if safely and really enjoyed our time in Dubbo. For those who don’t know, Dubbo is the home of the Western Plains Zoo.
We visited the Zoo on Monday and Tuesday morning, for about 2 hours each day. 2 hours is about as long as the boys will tolerate. The boys had a great time exploring the zoo and loved the animals that moved a lot. Their favourites were the Rhinoceros, Giraffe and the Otters. We saw feeding time for these, and other animals. Feedings seem to make the animals more alert, active and closer to the front. The boys pointed, laughed and talked the the animals. We found it quite amusing that in certain exhibits that used water to contain the animals, the boys found the water more interesting than the animal!

That’s the end……. We had a great time on our trip. On Tuesday afternoon we drove home. It took about 6 hours. They boys did great. Ethan didn’t feel well, and cried and whinged on and off for a few hours in the middle of the trip. We are all pleased to be home, and are now wondering where we’re off to next!

What a fabulous road trip! Looks like all four of you had a super time. I especially like the park with the spider web ropes. very cool....we dont have those in Texas. :) The boys look like they're getting around so well. I'm sure you're finding that they are harder to keep in one area, too. Everett is always on the go and wants no constraints and to answer your question about the dog backpack harness....he doesnt much care for it. :) He doesnt sit down in protest, but he certainly pulls harder if he wants to go somewhere. We havent really used it much, i'm thinking it will come in handy when he starts to run faster than i can walk. :)
Yes, we are having a fantastic summer and are always searching for cool places to take Ev. When you come to the states, we'll have to get together so we can take you to some neat places, too. Ev really enjoys his red wagon. He did have ice and water in that cup BUT it had a lid on it, otherwise it WOULD have spilled all over the place. He love having a big, boy cup all to himself. We love reading your post and hearing how everyone is doing. How's the weather in your part of the globe? OH and secondly....how do you get such pictures posted on your blog? When i post, i choose "Large" photo, but they're certainly not as big as yours.
Hugs to all! -M
