Kim comes Down Under!

Our sweet friends from our small group back home, Matt & Kim, were recently transferred to Singapore for a year.  They left Katy in June, which meant that we wouldn't be able to see them for TWO years because they'd be gone once we finally moved home.  Luckily, Singapore is only a 5 hour flight away from Perth, and Matt was kind enough to let his beautiful wife come and visit me so we'd be able to cram two years worth of fun into 4 short days!  We had a blast together, and it was such a blessing to be able to spend some quality time with a special friend that I have truly missed.  We took her to all of our "usual" tourist stops that we dragged our families to, but we also discovered a new one together...a cemetery where wild kangaroos come out to play in the afternoons!  Her time here flew by, but it was full of fun, unforgettable memories!  *I didn't take near enough pictures because we mainly used her camera...but you can see all of them on her blog here.

At our favorite Italian restaurant, Pronto.

Finding the Black Swans at Lake Monger

Of course, we had to see all of the Aussie wildlife at Caversham!

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop??

This kangaroo was flexing his biceps and trying to look SO buff for us.

You MUST feed a kangaroo when you're down under!

Kim & the Koalas

I'm almost a Kilpatrick Koala again!

Look at all of the wild kangaroos we found at the cemetery!

Kim and Karis down under. I have nothing derogatory to say, except we are all jealous of the adventure you are both having.
