My little grandsons grew up in Los Angeles but their parents have returned to live in Australia, (Yippee). We had Sonya and the boys stay with us for two weeks before they continued on to Melbourne where their dad is working. They will make a new home there.
While they were here they met a few Aussie animals. My neighbour introduced them to her pet bearded dragon (lizard.) Needless to say Fox was a bit apprehensive but very brave.
Banjo and Sonya had a pat too.
I took them to the forest where we saw a koala and a wallaby. "Look boys can you see the wallaby?" "What's a wallaby?"
"A small kangaroo"
"Oh yes. I can see it. Lets creep up to it."
"Can you see the big lump in her pouch? There is a joey in there. Try to feed her some grass."
"Go on Banjo you go first." (But she hopped away)

We took them into town on the train. It was their first time on a train. They went to South Bank Parklands for a swim.
On the way home Fox had fun with Granddad and his camera.
Other days we went to the skate park.
We went to all the different playgrounds in the area.

Grandma and the boys enjoyed feeding the ducks at our nearby lake.
This was a first for us, entertaining grandchildren at home. It was fun and hectic. Sure did liven up our quiet household. I was exhausted after two weeks and that was with their mother here too. I take my hat off to those of you who regularly care for grandchildren.
