Heaps of Fun in the Down Under



So I am well aware that it has been some time since the last time I blogged. Life has been crazy this past month. We've had visitors and gone on trips and everything. 2 weeks after having Harrison come visit the Gold Coast, my sisters Beth and Ali came to Australia to visit me! It was amazing having them here and we got into some ridiculous adventures which were not surprising considering when we get together, anything can happen. We roadtripped all the way to Sydney which is about a 13 hour drive. We stayed with Harrison got to see the sights of Sydney and then got majorly lost on the way home turning our already long road trip into a 17 hour one. It was nice to have more family come visit and we made some great memories. The only downfall was that they had difficulty getting the tan they so desperately wanted which made it the first time in my life that I was ever tanner than those two.

The Opera House!!



At the same time my sisters visited Jen's parents were in town which was fun to see them so there were visitors left and right!! Since than our days have been very busy trying to soak up the last rays of Australian sun and enjoying our last few nights in our lovely home by the sea. Our last weekend we were able to go to an actual AFL game with Scott and Jamie which was so much fun and the Brisbane Lions won even though everyone was losing faith! The next day we all went down to the Fox for the $2 steaks that the Brisbane boys had been telling us about for the past month. For only two dollars, it surprisingly wasn't too bad! I have left out heaps of stories but at least this is a quick update on the past month in Australia. I sorta failed on blogging these past weeks so my apologies but I will blog at least once more before I leave this country I've called home for the past 4 months!!
