Sea World Australia

Meagan, I'm hoping this guys a temple rec holder, and that he'll wait 5 years for you.

'Cause I can't think of anything hotter than the above if you're a dolphin lover like Meagan.

My dudes.

For you Megara.

And once again for you Meg. And every time I walk past this weird vacuum type thing they have at one of the end-caps at carrefour (that's dolphin shape) I think of you again. lol

Thank heavens for bringing these calves into my life. Oops, now where was I, oh Sea World.

Hunter on a 'real' pirate ship.

The little dudes on the Carousel

Airplane ride.

These next few are my favorites. Check out my dude on the back this ride, honking the horns for the boys. I'm literally falling over laughing right now. Whatta Dad.

And around they went, Dad employed by the little boys.

Go Tim, go!

Tanner making sure his Dad was still on the back. lol.

And another of my favorites of Tims calves, er, I mean of Tim and the boys.

Hunter was totally begging to get on this ride. You know this ride, the one that sways from side to side really fast almost going in a complete upside down circle.

Can you see them on the back row. It looked like they were having fun. Then Hunter got off and was looking very annoyed.

"Mommy!! I've got bad news!!" He said almost yelling.

"It was very very scary, and I was almost going to tip out. It was very dangerous."

Free ride.

Hunter: "Daddy, you did NOT make a good choice! You did not put me in my swim trunks, and look now I'm all wet because you didn't 'choose the right' ".

But he was alright, what, he had to be tough for a beautiful girl. Ella. Sweet Ella. They held hands and had a blast looking out for each other.

Ella is the daughter of Simon and Shaying who also live in Shanghai. Our vacations overlapped in Australia, so we had to hook up. We absolutely adore this family.

Tim actually knew Shaying while he served his mission in Australia. The very first missionary lesson he ever taught was to Shaying. And it was her first missionary lesson too. She later heard the other lessons from other missionaries and eventually joined the church. She is a very powerful influence here in our little brach in Shanghai. I truly admire this woman.

Here we are in the windy sun-- couldn't ask for better! It was perfect.

And the rain started just as we were on our way out!

Here's the happy family- Simon, Shaying and sweet Ella.
