After a few days in California with Grammie and Papa we got on another plane and went for a long long long time. I mean a LONG time. It was late and we were crowded and uncomfortable. But we made it and finally the plane landed and we were in Australia!

We had to wait in lots of long lines to get through immigration and customs. Sure glad we got those new passports. Here I am waiting in the airport enjoying my camera.

After that, we picked up our bags. Mommy and daddy's big suitcase with all their clothes didn't get on the plane with us and was still in California. They were sure frustrated. After that we waited for my Australian family to find us. There were so many people in the airport! I took lots of pictures of them all.

Once we found them we all sat down and had something to eat together. Grandad brought me the coolest teddy bear! This is me eating my first Aussie sausage roll. I wasn't real impressed. After that we took a long ride on a train through the country to where Grandma and Grandad live. I saw lots of trees mommy called gumtrees. I told her I saw one called a Minneapolis Flower tree. She said probably not in Australia. Then I said yes it was, because it had tiny apples on it - so it was a Mini-Apples tree. Ha ha ha.

This is my auntie Julia in the airport. Mommy thinks I look like her.

This is my uncle Michael. He lives close to where we're staying so we see a lot of him. Iris and I were scared of him at first but now he's our favorite person. He's VERY silly.

This is our living room in our apartment where we're staying. It's really nice! Iris and I have our own bedroom with beds you can jump on. We also have a balcony and when we go outside we can see birds in the trees. I saw a "egg-pie" (Magpie) bird and really liked it. I also saw a pigeon and tried to feed it eucalyptus leaves, but it didn't eat any. This picture is Iris tackling me underneath the dining room table.

This is the pretty planter outside our front door. The cross street behind it is Beaumont, it has lots of neat shops and food to explore.

This is when we first arrived. It's Julia, my grandma, and uncle Michael. They were so nice to help us feel right at home and I LOVE playing with them! We're having so much fun with them - more pictures to come as soon as we get a decent interne tconnection to upload them!

Mommy called our neighbors at home to check in today and heard we got lots of snow. It seems strange to think that Ludo is hanging out in snow while we're running the air conditioning and going to the beach. Tomorrow I'll try to post pictures of me and Grandad at the beach - I found shells!
