Royal National Park

So here we are again, another weekend, another adventure. As you all are having your delightful snow showers, we have been having rain. Yup, another rainy weekend for us as we went to the Royal National Park, which is as it sounds. It is a wildlife preserve just outside of Sydney. Our friends Chris and Sarah got us to tag along and we had a really great time. First, as we drove off with our friends, the hubcap to the rental car came off. Luckily, it was a piece of junk that can easily pop back into place. First adventure, check. Once we got near the park, we stopped off at a grocery store to pick up some picnic items before our hike. We parked in a little picnic area where a bunch of kids were jumping off of a waterfall. Chris decided that he was going to do it and I would have done it myself, but I did not want to start a hike off wet. Nothing is feels more disgusting than going on a trip wet and gross. So, I thought I would wait on that until we returned from our hike. The hike was a 6 mile loop and it was wonderful. The coast is nothing too new from the previous photos you have seen probably except for the rock. The sandstone is swirly in certain areas and have varied colors from deep red to white. It was neat to look at. We also saw a kangaroo and nuns hiking. I have never seen nuns hike and we all were mezmorized by the idea of hiking in complete nun regalia. It was hot for us in our shorts! But I guess that's the way to appreciate nature, God's work. It was really nice having another couple to do all this with, especially taking pictures. The link to the new photo album is below this post and we hope you enjoy them. So special thanks to Sarah and Chris for making this trip delightful! We also went canoeing and had a great time trying to find koalas. Sorry Mrs. Everett, but koalas will not come out to play with us apparently. If only you liked kangaroos, 'cause they are everywhere. We are debating now whether to get our scuba certification so that when the time of the Great Barrier Reef comes about, we can do some scuba stuff. I am really looking forward to that trip, although we probably won't do it until May or late March. We do have the first weekend of March booked for going to Melbourne and doing the Great Ocean Road if you care to Google that. Anyway, good times, but Mondays are left for me to clean up our place. So, hope everyone is doing well. We miss and love you guys!
