little fishes

before christmas (and it's now february - that's how far behind i am on my blog!), we went to the aquarium up at hillary's. Hillary's is a big marina with shops and restaurants and stuff for the kids, including a lil' safe beach and water area. A bit concrete and busy for my liking but we checked out the very expensive plush boats for sale and picked out which one we'd be buying if we won the lottery. It was a hot sunday and it was packed with people, but we escaped to the aquarium, where we sneaked dad in at senior citizen's price (i stood back for this one and let the boys do that). R was snap happy and took loads of pics as we wandered round on the underwater conveyor belt walkway tunnel. i liked the turtles best - so cute! We then had lunch (chicken and mayo sandwich) and i was violently ill for the next 4 days. In the last photo, you can see the smoke in the distance from a bushfire.
