Phillip Island / San Remo

When we got back form San Remo the kids were so excited to tell Jason about their trip. Jason ducked off to the study and little did we know but he booked us a night down there the next day so that we could do all the things that we had been meaning to do with the kids down that neck of the woods.

Once a yr we always take Josh to a hotel to stay - Josh has a LOVE of hotels he just loves the experience as long as they have an indoor pool he is set. Josh hasn't had his hotel vi st for a while and was sadly over due. It was nice to all go together as i haven't been for yrs as Coop was to little last time and the time before i was very sick and pregnant (or maybe just sick of being pregnant who knows?).

Anyway as we were over due for some time off and Jason's birthday was on the Monday we headed off. It was a great weekend and I am soo glad we did it even if i am not really into spur of the moment plans like that.

When we got to Phillip Island on the Saturday morning we headed straight to the Wildlife Park. we had been wanting to take the kids back there for ages as the last time we went it was about 5 yrs ago, there were a lot less Kangaroos than when we last went there but still plenty to photograph and get close to.

Cooper found a stick he was particularly taken with. He LOVED the Kangaroos it was soo cool to be able to take him to experience something so beautiful.






This isn't such a great shot of me but hey Rylee took it and seriously it is only one of such a small handful as i am always behind the camera.

This next is a photo Josh took of a kanga it is one of 100's he has filled my camera with - ever the professional.





















Me feeding the Kangaroos and even got to feed the little joey that stuck his head out, although he only really sniffed at the food and didn't eat much it was very sweet and mum didn't seem to mind at all.

















Jason feeding Skippy, Jason kept calling them Skippy the kids were lost they had no idea who he was talking about - When did we get so old??
