Australia Adventures Part 3

Before we left Australia, we wanted to share some more pictures from our time in Australia.  After we went parasailing and bumper tubing, we decided to go explore the city of Cairns.  It is a beautiful and busy city.  They have a lot of things to do.





Of course, this is what Andrew & Bekah wanted to find most of all- McDonald's!  They had a lunch special from 12pm-2pm, so it was the cheapest meal we ate while in Australia!  


Apparently Tupperware is big over here.  We saw a Tupperware car!


They speak my language!!!


After lunch we went to visit the "Lagoon", which is a large free swimming pool that is part of the Cairns Esplanade.  Although we hadn't planned to go swimming (no towels and the kids didn't have swimsuits), it was a great way to cool off. 


 They were anxious to go and explore the Lagoon and cool off!


Fortunately I had worn my swimsuit under my clothes!  


The pool is right at the edge of the ocean.  You can see the faint outlines of the mountains in the background.


The kids had a great time!


At the end of the day, we went to a local grocery store to pick up a few things and waited on the bus to pick us up to take us back to Tree Tops.  We had two tired kids!

We are incredibly grateful for our friends that made this trip to Australia possible.  We look forward to visiting again!

  1. Hearing your stories reminds me so much of when we moved to Africa when I was 7. A great adventure and memories to last a life time for your kids and they will always tie it back to God and his greatness. We are praying for you guys!!

    Love,
