Travel Memories. Its all about the animals

Strolling through the pics archive has become something I do when I am too chilled to read, and too lazy to cook or crochet. I got the computer out today and chose a few shots to share with you. I'm not sure why these pics snagged my attention but they must have connected somewhere in the brain.  Although these pics are loosely related to family holidays since many of our family times seem to have revolved around animals.  Visits to SeaWorld with the Brisbane family when the two older boys were very little, Holidays at the beach, visits to farms and to various zoos. For the city kids exposure to animals is a great adventure.


Iluka was a favourite holiday place for a few years. I think we found out we were going to be grandparents for the first time there and for a couple of years we shared a week  a year there with our son, daughter in law and their first two boys. One walk along the beach we found these crabs. The whole beach was covered in them.

Another summer when the same two boys were still quite little we went to Sea World. I remember it being hard to pull the boys away from the glass windows of the aquariums but the favourite was the polar bears. This large one came right up to the window to say hello and the younger ones wrestled in the water.

 

 

And of course there are the tigers. We are a tiger mad family.




This  lizard came to visit as we had lunch and posed happily for a number of photos before wandering off to find a bug or something.

 

One summer more recently K and the boys went snorkelling in a rock pool on the Sunshine Coast. Even in knee deep water there were fish! K had just bought a cheap water proof camera so there are lots of shots of legs and knees and funny underwater faces as well.

Then there are photos of  dingoes and the giraffes and turtles and lions and horses and ........ Maybe for another day when  I get bored.
