Sydney Harbour and Taronga Zoo

This week we FINALLY got our upstairs floorboards sanded and polished. We've been planning to get it done for over 2years!
We had to move out for 2 nights to avoid the dust and smell. We took the opportunity to have a couple of nights in sydney and a day out with the boys. We decided that this day would be their birthday present, as they don't need any more toys, a day out is best!

We took the train from the hotel to circular quay, then a ferry across the harbour to the zoo. It was a beautiful day.
We spent about about 4-5 hours at the zoo and had a great time! We let the boys buy a souvenir as part of their present. Ben chose a stuffed toy monkey. Ethan chose a plastic tiger that's mouth opens. They each like their new toys.

For dinner we went to Pancakes on the Rocks (pancake restaurant). The boys were amazed we let them eat pancakes for dinner. It was a great treat.

After dinner they were hyped on sugar so we went for a walk down by the water to run off some energy. We saw the large cruise ship leaving, and they loved watching them untie all the ropes and the tug boat pull the big ship out of the dock. They don't get out much after dark, and loved all the city lights at night!

It was a fantastic day!!
