Visiting the fishes

Brett has been on holidays this week so that we could spend some family time together and we decided to have an outing to Manly oceanworld. It was Elora's first train ride and Bethany hasn't been on a train since she was 1 and neither of them had been on a ferry before so even the travelling was exciting for them. It was supposed to be raining but ended up being a beautiful day and we had a great time seeing the sea creatures, playing in the sand on the little beach nearby, eating the best gelato ever at Manly wharf and enjoying gorgeous views of the harbour from the ferry!!!

Very excited to be on a train!

Learning to be gentle.

Can you tell these girls are big fans of mermaids!! (thanks to Barbie)

Would not like to meet this fellow without glass in between!!!

They LOVED the walk through section, we went round the cirle several times.

This blurry pic was from my phone but I love the up close shot, it looks like there's a sting ray on Brett's head lol.

Spending time on the beach.

Enjoying a ferry ride and Bethy was looking for pirates on all the boats we passed (we saw Ice Age 4 the day before so I think it put pirates in her head lol).

Our beautiful harbour.
