The 26th was Boxing Day, and the whole family came up to Judy and Ken's for dinner. Their neighbors had kindly offered free use of their pool, so we took the kids over there for a bit.
And then we had dinner (I guess that I was too busy stuffing mah face to take pictures), and then had dessert. Pavlova is pretty much my favorite thing ever. If you haven't had it, you should call up my mom and have her make it for you.
On the 27th it was approximately 142 degrees F, so the cousins had the brilliant idea that we would hide out inside during the day, and then have a barbecue in King's Park in the evening. The best way to kill some time during the day was to see The Hobbit in 3D.
These guys were especially proud of their 3D glasses, and popped the lenses out so that they could wear them some more. (They were disposable - the glasses, not the kids - so they were fair game to keep.)
At King's Park we parked next to a memorial with Felix on it. We've seen his name on various things several times since coming here. It's almost like it's not a weird name here.
Then barbecue with a gorgeous sunset, before heading up to an overlook at night.
And then on the 28th, we headed to Penguin Island, which is always a favorite. I'm just going to chuck a bunch of photos up. We went on the sea lion tour on a glass-bottom boat, which was absolutely fantastic this time around (much better than last time, when we hit some bad waves and wind). After Penguin Island, we headed into Rockingham for ice cream. (Sophie spent the day wearing HER 3D glasses with no lenses, as that's what 11 year olds do.)
