This is the Tarzan rope. The kids thought it was really cool and all tried to jump from it. It was funny to watch because they all climbed up and leapt without hesitation, to just land flat in the sand, time after time. We kept explaining that if they just sit on the ball they would swing, but they couldn't get the hang of it right away.
This was so much fun, and check out the view!

Next stop.......

To Busselton to see the Erickson's!!! Tracy and Dave decided to take a holiday in Perth on spring break as well so we decided we would try and meet up with them sometime during the holiday. Turns out they were staying half way between Rockingham and Margaret River, our 2nd stop. So, we enjoyed the afternoon with them at their place. They stayed in this really cool campground, that also had cabins. This was owned by a man with several children, all of which were boys. He deisgned a bunch of boyish playground areas that our children loved, even the adults got into it.
God blessed us with that time.

What a life!

Penguin Island

Next we went to Penguin Island. This was a quick 5 minute ferry ride to a tiny little island supposedly ihabited by penguins. The weird thing is, we didn't see many penguins. There was a cute little family of them that the keepers fed each day, in their little cages, but none on the rest of the island. We saw plenty of pelicans though.
The cool thing is we saw a bunch of mini caves. The boys loved climbing in and out all of them. We also took a guided ferry tour on a glass bottom boat to see many of the colorful coral type fish. We never saw any coral or fish, but we did see some seals on seal island. It was a bizzarre day, but fun none-the-less.
