This weekend we decided to take a trip up to the Blue mountains, we are quite lucky here in Sydney- the beach is right there and the mountains are just 1 1/2 hours to the west. I use the word "mountains" loosely, I would say more foothills compared to the rockies. They are called the blue mountains we found out because the morning haze has a blue misty look to it. we stayed in a in the town of Katoomba- all the towns are very much tourist traps (just think Lanesboro with a kick) lots of cute shops and eateries. the kids got a kick out of getting hot chocolate that they made themselves by putting choc disks in a cup over a candle and added milk to it stirring the melting chocolate in. And if you like hiking, this is the place- lots of trails to hike. we had to be careful of what hike we went on because some were way to difficult to do with the kids. The kids did great on the ones we did go on, they love a good adventure.
The first picture is of the "three sisters" rock formations. the three sisters refers to some aboriginal legend about a father protecting his daughters..blahblahblah. we walked to these first and the rest of the weekend logan kept asking when we were going to see the mountain family again.
And one of logan pretending to be a turtle, and for those of you about to freak out about the strap around logan's neck- he was in no danger of strangulation.
it was a very nice sunny weekend up there and it was great to get away and explore. Love Kelly
