Melbourne - Dec09

We had a great time in Melboune with Jacqui. Jacques and Jaylen. It was especially nice meeting our nephew for the first time and Brandon was fascinated with Jaylen. Here are some pics from our time there.

You can definitley see the family resemblance between Uncle and nephew in this photo

We did some Xmas shopping in the city one day; we were in awe of how easy it is to shop and the relatively cheap variety. Korea's really made us miss big shops like Target where you can get such a variety of things in one go. Much to Brad's delight we found a Nando's to have lunch (yes, Nando's exists in Australia), we sat outdoors along the riverfront. When Brandon needed a nappy change we found a beautiful patch of grass, Brandon loved being on the grass and was on top form - he practised his talking and walking and just enjoyed the outdoors.
This is the life

Hehe, I got the phone

No mom, you can't have it back.

You change my nappy and I'll make some calls.

On second thoughts, maybe I'll just text someone instead.

Check out that bird, dad!

Do you think I can walk to it?

Nap time!
We went to a really good restaurant one lunch time - the fish was excellent and they put up with all the mess the two little ones made.

A relaxing lunch
We mentioned to Jacqui that we would like to take Brandon to a petting zoo/farmyard because he doesn't get much exposure to that kind of stuff in Korea. One day we went to a farm and let the kids look at all the animals, Brandon absolutely loved it. There were horses, pigs, chickens, goats and a few other things, Brandon giggled a chatted the entire time and we could tell that he was really fascinated by the animals (unfortunaltely we didn't take the camera). So on another day we went to one of the markets in town where they bring in some farmyard animals for the kids to see. Once again, Brandon was delighted.

Brandon was a bit skeptical about the chicken

All in all we had a fab time and wish we'd taken more photos.
