The Smokies

We went to the Smokies to go camping. After we drove there and got our place, we set up our tent.

I didn't get to do it all by myself. Even though I wanted to. I got to set up the tent poles and put in the tent stakes. I still had a lot of fun.

 This is me unfolding the tent poles.

This is me putting in the stakes. 

This is the finished tent. It was so big we could stand up in it.

I helped daddy with the fire. Here we are getting it ready. Much later we would light it - when it was dark.

I am learning to whittle a stick. We are getting the ends sharp so we can roast marshmallows later.

This is me standing on a stump like the Lorax. 

This is after we did our hike to the cabin. We are getting ready to go back to our car.

Jumping in Cairns

Our house has a trampoline. It is a lot of fun. The house also has a swimming pool.

The koala was soft. I wish I could keep it. A kangaroo ate food out of my hand. The snakes were really cool.

Hangin' in Sydney

My favorite part of Sydney was the playground at Darling Harbour. I got to zip line in the park. I liked the slide, too.

In the Royal Botanic Gardens I got to see a flying fox. The flowers were pretty.

The Opera House was big. I bet a hundred people could fit in it.

Costa Rica Adventures

I went hiking the waterfall in Montetzuma. I jumped off the rocks by the waterfall.

Then we went horseback riding to another waterfall. It was bouncy but I had fun.

Yesterday we went snorkeling. I saw fish. On the beach I got to pet a wild pig. Then we went to a pizza place for dinner in Montezuma - yum! I got to drink fanta.
