Mom and Dad Visit Perth!!

My parents came to visit me and Graham in February! We had a great two weeks with them here in Perth. It was their second trip to Perth and a great time was had by all.

A few photos from their visit:

 Mom always brings an extra suitcase full of goodies for me!


Dad at Graham's University Campus UWA (University of Western Australia)

Mom and Graham at Valentines Day lunch at a restaurant on the beach called Indiana! 
The views didn't look like Indiana to us. Its named for the Indian Ocean.


Mom at our neighbourhood hangout The Como Bowls Club. Its our usual weekend hang out.


Dad and Graham at The Como Bowls Club, Dad's new favourite hang out too..

Mom and Dad at Kings Park. We had a nice morning walk before lunch at Perth's largest park.

Mom at our favorite Swan Valley Winery Harris Organic! 


SAILING!! We took Mom and Dad sailing with our good friends!!


Mom with our favorite sailing friends Peter and Helen!! 
Sailing on the Swan River was a great night, we even saw dolphins!
I think the dolphins made a special appearance for Mom and Dad.. Actually I am sure they did!



I took Mom and Dad to a great little cafe called The Secret Garden. Its near my home in South Perth, good breakfasts and yummy treats!


Mom and Graham and the Bowls Club. We spend a lot of time there.. haha
Graham is in his bowls uniform for completive bowls called pennants. A uniform is also called Club Colours. If it was the USA we would say Club Colors. 


Dinner at Mary and Graham's! Graham made prepared some beautiful fish.


Dog Beach! Windy day at the dog beach, right after I snapped this picture a black lab ran past at the bottom of the photo. He was cute! This is the place you can take your dog for a swim.


People Beach!! haha
It was windy!! This is the Indian Ocean at Trig Beach



Take Mom to a beach and she find treasures.. She doesn't care for swimming but she can spend hours searching the sand for the perfect shell.


We took a day trip south to Harvey and Bunbury. This was at the May Gibbs Cottage, with a beautiful English cottage in Harvey. A perfect spot to have a cup of tea.


 As we enjoyed out beverages and snacks we became surrounded by BIG Skink lizards. About 14 inches long.. It was a funny surprise. 


Dad back again at the Bowls Club chatting with Bevin.

She did pretty well!!

It was so wonderful to have you in town Mom and Dad. I am so glad you got to spend time on our beautiful river, at our favorite hang out and got to meet some of our Perth buddies!

I miss you every day. Thanks for loving me and raising me with big strong wings and courage to pursue my dreams.  I love you!!

Can't wait to see you again this year!!!
