Well, 10days have just flown by, my mom is already going home on sunday:( Things have been just great, we have had a blast together. Last monday i took the crew to Sea World, i had never actually wandered around and seen the shows so it was alot of fun. We had absolutely gorgeous weather, and they had a chance to see where iam working right now.
Tuesday, glenn worked but kelsey, my mom and i went on a day tour of O'reillys and Tamborine mountain. It is the mountain/rainforest range right near us. We had another beautiful day and were able to get in a few walks through the rainforest. Yesterday, we rented a car and i drove us to the Sunshine coast where we went to the "Australia Zoo". It is the zoo that Steve Irwin the crocodile hunter built. It was awesome definitly one of the best zoos we have ever been too. My mom was really happy cause she was able to pet kangaroos and koalas, she was in heaven. We had to pull her away! The zoo is very hands on and allows you to get right up close and personal with the animals, we got to feed elephants, pet koalas, kangaroos and wombats and lots of others. We watched a live feeding of crocodiles and learned lots about the wild life. The concept is that when people get to be close to the animals they will want to do more to save them. It was super cool!!!
We have lucked out the weather has been really good for all of our day trips and we have also gotten in lots of beaching. It has been a very fun filled busy week and iam sad that it is almost over. I have to go back to work on Sunday:( Kelsey is here till dec 12th so we get to visit with her lots more before she goes. Tomorrow night we are headed to watch Willy play at one of his gigs before my mom leaves. Well thats the update for this week, hope all is well with everyone back home, we miss all of you, and think about you everyday!!! Chat soon!
Love Jen and Glenn
