They love the trampoline

The first thing they do at playgroup is head straight to the trampoline.  They just love it and its so much fun to watch them jump and play together. 

Double decker bus

We see the red double decker bus all the time around Bondi and the city.  It is a tourist bus that drives around Sydney that has the roof off the top level of the bus.  Sebastian has been asking for months to go on the bus so we finally decided it was time for us to have a ride.  We got prime seats, up the top at the very front.  It was a great trip around the city, Sebastian and Hannah had a lot of fun. Towards the end, it was very hot and sunny and Hannah fell asleep.

Sydney fish markets

We had some friends coming over for a BBQ and we decided to have a seafood theme.  In the morning, we headed down to the fish markets to buy the fresh seafood.  They cut our swordfish while we were watching and I loved looking at all the different types of seafood they had there.  The dinner was very yummy!

Meeting Santa

Sebastian was so excited to be going into the city to meet Santa.  We took the bus into the city and walked to the QVB to meet him.  We were a little bit early and were first in the queue.  We saw Santa walking towards us and Sebastian was excited, but poor Hannah started crying.  She didn't want to go anywhere near Santa and she certainly wasn't sitting on his knee.  He actually had to leave the area for a minute to calm Hannah down and he snuck back in without her seeing.  We then managed to distract her (with chocolate) to get her to smile.  The whole time Sebastian loved it but didn't smile for a photo.  I love the photo we got with Santa. 

The 4 of us

Bike park

Sebastian wanted to ride his bike, so we took the kids up to the bike park and let them ride around for a while. It was a lot of fun. 

Feeding the ducks

We went to Centennial Park to feed the ducks.  As soon as we sat on the seat, we were surrounded by lots of ducks, swans, pelicans and birds. At one stage they were trying to eat the bread from our hands and poor Hannah got a bit scared. 

Dinosaurs at the Zoo

The dinosaurs have arrived at the zoo again and they were a major hit with Sebastian.  He absolutely loved them and walked around the zoo trying to find all of them. 

Watsons Bay

We had an early dinner at the Watsons Bay Hotel before hitting the beach for a play in the sand.  We were treated to a beautiful sunset over the harbour too. 

The beach

It was a lovely sunny day, so we headed down to the beach for a swim.  Hannah loved to stand at the waters edge and watch the water come up and splash over her feet and legs.  Sebastian loved to get into the water and run in and out with daddy.  They both love the water so much.
