Refreshing Swim
We went to the Perth zoo and we saw a lot of amazing wildlife. I remember it like it was yesterday...it was hot and sunny when my eyes met the amazing Saltwater Crocodile. Even though it was hot and sunny I wouldn't get into the pool with them to cool down. Should have dared Dylan to get in.
Night Adventures
Jayden my brother in law took us to the Kings Park so I could take some night pictures of the city. It was such a good night to walk around and we had a pretty great view.
Always Wear Sandles
Our personal tour guides Jayden and Dylan took us to a beach called Cottesloe. We brought a beach tent my and dad had problems with setting up the tent because it was windy. I would have helped but it was too funny and more enjoyable to watch him fight with the thing. The sand was blazing hot almost burn my feet off. Once we got the tent up and buried our feet in the cool sand it was a perfect day of relaxing and hanging out.
Family Movie Night
We all went to see Jumanji featuring the Rock! We laughed so hard at Jack Black and Kevin Hart. The whole movie was quotable, for those who have seen it my favourite lines were...
Jack-" Wait a second where is my phone."
Kevin - "Cake makes me explode."
Uncle Ryan
Jayden and Dylan adopted a rescue pug and her name is Gabby. She is cute and I'am her puppy uncle. I missed her lots and the love the fact she always sticks her tung out. I was glad I got to see my whole family, dogs included! Well actually I probably was more excited to see Gabby then I was to see Jayden (just kidding, or am I....).
Melting
Perth weather was Blazing hot, nice and sunny with no chance of rain (or snow). Nothing like the weather in Canada during the Christmas Holidays. When its that hot all the time you have to stay hydrated or you become a puddle on the ground. There was always, ice cold beer, coke, wine and water close by.
Signs Are Never Wrong
My dad went for run and found this sign... instead of caution signs for kids a sign for the aged. He took a picture next to it to be funny, that silly duck.
Doesn't It Look Good??
You can't go to Australia and not eat sea food pasta. So we found a Restaurant at South Perth and I ate the whole plate pictured above. To finish it off we got ice cream just to have a fully balanced meal. Vacation is for eating yummy food and relaxing so I was going to make the most of it.
No Sharks In Sight
Another day at the beach. A day with a great hanging out, lunch, and then we finished it all off with a swim. Once again the sand was as hot as pea soup.
RMH World Wide
I have been very involved with Roland McDonald House back in Edmonton. So we thought we would take a tour of the Perth house. They had a Roof top garden, amazing art inside the building, and so much more. It was cool to take my love for the house internationally.
All The Best Things
We had supper with Dylan, Jayden and friends. We had all day meat and they put Bruce Springsteen on their tv for ambiance. Just when the night couldn't get any better we had Gluten free Cheesecake for dessert. Many good nights of food and good company.

Another strange sign my dad found. So silly. So many questions...why not? Was there a kissing acident?
Family Photo
We went to the Caversham Wildlife park. So many great animals, like this guy. We have adopted him into the family. I though of ways to get him back to Canada but my two ideas were not the best. One, was my suitcase. Second, was using Jayden's passport and pretending he was Jayden.
Nice Hat
We celebrated the New Year all together. There was a group of great people to celebrate the old and new. It was so good to be able to spend the holiday with my family.
None for You
We went to Rottnest Island full of white beaches, blue water, good company, yummy food and curious critters. We watched a Quokka try and steal someone else's yummy food. Quokkas are the most well-known animal on Rottnest Island.
Hardest Part
The trip was over before I knew it and we had to say goodbye to my brother (mom and I were not happy about it even though we look happy here). It was time to go back to work and the snow. I miss Australia and my brothers. Everything about the trip with outstanding and it made it that much harder to leave. We will be back soon though.
Well there you go! Some of my favourite parts. It was fun to go back through the photos and remember all the great times spend in Perth. I hope to be back soon! Let me know in the comments below if you have ever been to Australia and what your favourite part was. If you haven't been what is something you would make sure to do? Below are some more photos that also were great moments from the trip.
