Week 2 starts out with Church and then Sunday Dinner. Kiersten made delicious pulled pork burritos. This is Heath and his twin nephews, Micah and Abram. They spent Sunday with us while their mom had to work.
On Monday we went to Mount Coot Tha. It has a beautiful botanical garden that we visited. Heath found this funny tree. Everything it TROPICAL!
We went with Heaths nieces and nephews.
Heaths brother, Chad, and his wife, Irene. Their son is Kellen.
Group pictures at the Gardens
Mount Kut Tha also has one of the best arial views of Brisbane City!
Kim and Ethan had a professional photo shoot while we were there.
This is at a local city park. The gardens were unbelievable!
Here's the preppy couple.....
One day we took the bus to the city to go shopping at the open air market. Here's Kim and Kier at the bus stop waiting.
I got to experience "State of Origin", one of the biggest rugby events in Australia. It is New South Wales vs Queensland. Queensland won a record 5 years in a row!!
We spent Kims last day in Brisbane at Warner Brothers Movie World. A scaled down version of Universal Studios.
Riding the train........
At the kiddie rides........
I was pressured into riding the Batman ride. The smile on my face is fake.......
The next evening we went to Southbank and rode the Famous Brisbane Ferris Wheel. It is a major landmark and attraction there. View of the City from the top.
Inside the Ferris Wheel Cage.
My last night in Brisbane we went to an professional Australian Football League game. The Brisbane Lions is Heaths favorite team and he dreams of playing for them one day. This same day I also went to one of Heaths AFL games but didn't take a picture! At the end of the game, they let all the fans onto the field to kick the football around.
After one more long flight home I am greeted by this at the Phoenix Airport :)
Thanks Kiersten, Heath, Kim and Ethan for a wonderful 2 weeks!!

You have to post the video of you riding the Batman ride!!
I'm jealous you got to go on such a cool ride, we do the same thing to my dad - FORCE him on the scary rides. Hehe. Don't worry it would have made everyone else enjoy the ride even more!
It's always nice to come home to a loved one at the end of a enjoyable holiday. Xx
