Grandma and Grandpa and Koalas, oh my!

Grandma and Grandpa Maki arrived Down Under in good shape two days ago. They recovered from jet lag in less than 24 hours and seem to be enjoying themselves already. Zach certainly has been enjoying the extra attention from Grandma and Grandpa.

Brett took them for a drive to see the countryside this morning.

We headed north to the red gum forests of the Murray River to look for koalas this afternoon.

Zach enjoyed the view from his new backpack.

Although we think Zach is about the cutest thing to put in front of a camera, he discovered he had a little competition today.

We got some great family shots.

And good close ups, too.

The koalas were everywhere and everyone had a chance to get their picture taken with furry little critters.




And as we left the forest behind...







...the kangaroos came out to bid us g'day!
