Back at the playground after the show, Graham is still enjoying the water.
2013.07.30 11:33
2013.07.30 11:33
Having a rest, it's hard to go out all the after flying 24 hours with a 10 hour time difference from home.
2013.07.30 11:36
2013.07.30 11:36

Nancy finds a new friend.
2013.07.31 07:17
We would have brought home...
2013.07.31 07:21
That's a big dinosaur skull.
2013.07.31 07:22
Glad this guy doesn't live anymore to fly around.
2013.07.31 07:22
2013.07.31 07:45
Graham builds his own dinosaur.
2013.07.31 07:51
Not bad, there are ribs, legs...
2013.07.31 07:53
Nancy checking out all the "stuffed" animals.
2013.07.31 07:53
It's a little eerie.
2013.07.31 07:54
Graham's completed dinosaur.
2013.07.31 07:57
All the different bird eggs.
2013.07.31 08:02
Madeleine's not so happy in the "stuffed" animal room.
2013.07.31 08:03
2013.07.31 08:03
2013.07.31 08:03
2013.07.31 08:04
2013.07.31 08:04
She did pet the bunny.
2013.07.31 08:05
It is a little odd to see hundreds of dead, stuffed "real" birds in the cases. They were laying belly up.
2013.07.31 08:10
Look, a new species of turtle.
2013.07.31 08:33

2013.07.31 11:31
They had quite the water feature.
2013.07.31 11:34
Nancy and Grandma went off to have coffee and chocolate.
2013.07.31 11:57
I think the playgrounds are not as great in the U.S. due to fear of kids hurting themselves.
2013.07.31 11:59
2013.07.31 11:59
There is something so fun about pumping water.
2013.07.31 12:00
2013.07.31 12:30
And then the massive climbing net.
2013.07.31 12:39
It was quite scary. Nancy went to the top and you should see the huge holes, if you fell...
2013.07.31 12:45
Whew, the smaller nets are much less scary.
2013.07.31 12:45
Kids enjoyed yet another new playground. Tumbalong Park.

2013.07.31 17:35
Not quite sure why Grandma is blue.
2013.07.31 17:39
Bye bye Sydney.
2013.07.31 17:48
The lovely bathroom sink.
2013.07.31 18:28
We have one last view of the city while dining outside the Opera House.
2013.07.31 18:53
We take the subway back to the apartment.
