Frank & Garla DOWN UNDER!

Tyson's parents are here!!!!!  We have already been having SO much fun with them!  It is so special to share everything that we've been able to see and do with them.  Here are some pictures from their adventure through the outback so far:

We immediately took them for a picnic at the beach!



The next day Tyson went to work, and I played "Tour Guide" and took Frank & Garla around to all of my favorite spots in Perth...this is the view from Applecross.

We went downtown to see all of the malls - here is quaint "London Court".

We met up with Tyson for lunch and then went to see King's Park - here is the view of the city from the park.



I think jet-lag was starting to set in for Frank!

T being silly.  Are we surprised?

The war memorial at King's Park

And of course, how could we resist taking them to eat at one of our favorite restaurants on the beach!?!  We were blessed with a GORGEOUS sunset!!!

It just never gets old!


It was a breathtaking sunset!!  I think I get my love for the sky/sunset from my Grandma C - because I just can't get enough!

The next day we met up with Tyson for a lunch picnic at the beach!

He grilled us some delicious sandwiches - he's become quite the cooker in Australia!


After lunch we laid out on the beach and soaked up the sun.  The weather was fantastic AND we had the beach all to ourselves!

Garla went for a stroll to test the water....it is BRRRRRY!

T with his sweet parents after a perfect Aussie arvo!

We stopped by Lake Monger on the way home from the beach to show them all of the black swans.

The next day we went up the coast a little farther to Scarborough beach for lunch & people watching! 


And then we took Frank to his own slice of heaven...the Harley Davidson shop!

We still have so much more to do and I'll try to keep you updated before they have to head back home!

Ever since the Triathalon, I've noticed that Tyson is more apt to pose for pictures with no shirt on....ok, we get it...you're in shape!

Does Tyson get to wear a t-shirt and shorts to work? He sure is casual when he meets you for lunch! :)
