The Adventures of Young Penelope

It's hard to believe my parents' visit is almost over. We've kind of gotten used to them being around, as if they live here. We have shared lots of meals with them, and Penny loves to be held by them. She loves her grandma so much that she saved up almost 10 days worth of poop and then unloaded it on her. Apparently, this is not that unusual for small babies (pooping once every 10 days)... and it actually wasn't that much poop. 

Penny got to take a quick day trip on her first ferry ride to The Basin, which is a camping and picnic area that is part of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. She saw her first wallabies, goanna, and brush turkeys, even though she was a sleep for a lot of the time. Mike got to participate in Survivor weekend there, run by a friend of ours who splits everyone into teams and plans the challenges. Penny was having her milk while her dad was eating half a raw onion and some whole chilli peppers. 

We also got to take Penny to see Circular Quay (where the Harbour Bridge and Opera House are) for the first time. 

It has been an eventful week. While we will be sad to see Lola and Grandpa go, the next set of grandparents visits soon, and we are excited for Pen to meet them!
