Darling Harbor

 After spending most of our morning in Sydney harbor we took another ferry to Darling harbor.  Darling has got a lot of fun family stuff to fill your day with! The first thing we did was hit the wildlife exhibit.
 The unexpected surprise to the exhibits was the Lego people.  All over the exhibit they had Lego statues of all different kind of things. Here at the front of the exhibit they had this horse and cowboy rider.

 This is the enormous crocodile that is 45 years old! He was incredible to watch! They told us they caught him and took him to a wildlife park in hopes that he would mate with a girl crocodile, but this big guy kept killing all his girlfriends instead of mating with them. He killed two girls before they moved him here to be by himself!
 We could of spend the entire time watching this big guy, but there was much more to see so we moved on!


This is the biggest lizard roaming around Australia! I just pray I never run into one of these guys!

 This was my favorite part of the exhibit, the Koala! They let you get so up close and personal with these cute animals! We couldn't hold them or pet them, but we were close enough!


 Savannah and Cody got attacked by this giant crocodile

 Then it got Brittany!

 This is the worlds most dangerous bird. They have a real one, but this fake one was better to take the pictures with!

 Luke had a harder time getting on this giant bird so his sweet brother let him use him as a stepping stole to get on it!

 Another Lego's site that was too amazing, we had to take a picture by it!

More Koala's! Too cute
 Another exhibit is the aquarium, and here too they had cool Lego's statues

 The coolest part of the aquarium was the tubes under water that you could go walk through. Here Savannah is under a giant Manatee.



They also had turtles, giant sting rays, bigger than Clay, and of course Sharks!


Cody found his girlfriend at the aquarium!

It is still crazy to think that you live in Australia!! It still feels like we can't get our schedules to work and that why we haven't seen you.

All of these pictures are making me want to book flights now to come and visit.

I guess we have to start saving our money to come visit! The kids are looking at all these pictures oohing and ahhing. Especially over the lego statues. Those are absolutely amazing!

I love that the Island is called Darling. It's absolutely darling!!
