Mom & Laurence come DOWN UNDER...!

The 26th of September 2010 Don's Mom and Laurence arrive from South Africa. We hadn't seen them for 2 years and Naldo-Rei hadn't seen his mother for about 8 years (I think). It was their 1st time to Australia and they visited for 6 weeks. We had such a blast showing them Aussie and having them stay with us. We did so much in the 6 weeks even though it rained ALOT!!!

The day they arrived we were SPOILT with gifts!!!

The beautiful Three Sisters...

Catching up with the local wildlife at Featherdale Wildlife Park!

Pacey trying to play with Rekki. Matt, Jade & Pacey flew down for a few days and we got to catch up with them.

Dinner at Mum & Dad's house for Marley & Naldo-Rei's Birthdays.

SYDNEY SYDNEY SYDNEY... I love this place!!! So Proud to call Australia Home, it's just beautiful!

The Beautiful BONDI BEACH.

Having fun at Parklea Markets. The best place to buy all your "AUSSIE" Souvenirs.
The Little South African Stall.
Mom bought all our Indian spices here and made the best curries ever!!! Spices by the bucket load, we love this stall!

Lunch at Dural Country Club.

Our weekend in Canberra... We love Canberra, Don & I go at least once a year. Of course we had to share it with the In-Laws. Don & I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary... Can you believe it!!! Time flies when you're in LOVE!
Naldo-Rei & I being tourists... throwing up the peace sign...
We just want to say a big THANK YOU to Mom & Laurence for making the trip to Australia to come visit us. We are so sad to see them go but hope and pray for the day they will be with us again. We love you both so very much... Love, Hugs & Kisses Don & Lisa xx

  1. Now I know why you haven't blogged about this until now, it must have taken weeks to upload all those photos!! Your new banner picture awesome and you guys just look so young and happy in all the photos. After such a fun long vacation it must have been hard to get back to work in the new year. Your next post should be all about your new house in Castle Hill with lots of photos so I can see it!
