Australian Adventures- Part 2

Because of the kindness of some dear friends and partners, we were able to take some time to enjoy at least one outing as a family while here in Australia.  We wanted to do something fun and special.  There are a lot of things to choose from here in Cairns, but we settled on going parasailing and bumper tubing.  It was a blast!  I had been parasailing a long time ago, but no one else had.

We had just a few pictures (over 300 after deleting the ones that didn't turn out) of the day's activities, so I've chosen some of the best.

Bekah is enjoying the boat ride as we prepare to go "fly"!

Andrew & Tim with the city of Cairns in the background.

Bekah and I are ready to go "fly"!

We're flying!

Up in the air!  That is the wake of the boat down below Bekah.

They gave us a camera to take up with us.  This is a self-portrait.  Look at the gorgeous mountains behind us!

It's the boys turn to go flying!

The boys took a little dip in the water.

Tim's self portrait!  Yep, this is the same man that hates to have his picture taken, but I had not one but two self-portraits on him up in the air!

Andrew hanging on for dear life!  

Time for the bumper tube!  The boys wanted to go first.

Just a relaxing day for Tim.  OK, he sat in that position for all of 2 seconds before grabbing the handles and hanging on!

They got a little bit of air on this one.  

Now it's the girls turn!  Bekah laughed the entire time.  She kept wanting to make it bumpy.  I guess actually sitting was overrated for her.  (Notice how far up she is off the seat...)

The best part was catching air!  Our driver took it easy on us because the kids were small.  I'm sure if we come back in 4 years, there will be more air with the possibility of being flipped out!  

We survived!  That is the city of Cairns behind us.  It was an incredible day for all of us!

More to come later!
