Life Moves On




















Miss E immediately behind and holding tight to Master J




Unlike the rest of our family, my favourite theme park of the three we visited on holidays was Sea World. All of these photos were from our second day at Sea World - details of our first day can be found here. 

To be able to watch and in some cases, touch, a wide range of sea life was very special. Sea World appeals to a wide range of ages and interests including rides and activities for the more adventurous too. I could have lingered longer at several of the animal exhibits, enjoying access to sections of nature which are not part of my everyday experience.




 A moonlight beach walk with my husband was a beautiful treat on our last evening. We rarely have a chance to walk and talk alone.

 Thank you for following along on our holiday adventures, I have enjoyed sorting through our photos and encapsulating some of our experiences. 

 We have been home just over a week now and life certainly has moved on. Our eldest two have "left home" to begin new adventures at their respective universities, my husband has spent the week back at work and homeschool lessons have filled our thoughts and time at home. We are slowly finding a new normal for our family routines, already looking forward to being a complete family again at Easter.


Sharing at Our World Tuesday.

    Z pewnością wspomnienia z cudownych wspólnych wakacji będą miłym wspomnieniem na długo dla wszystkich. Życie toczy się dalej i też jest cudowne. Pozdrawiam.
    Certainly the wonderful memories of holidays will be shared pleasant memories for a long time for all. Life goes on and it is wonderful. Yours.

    Karen I enjoyed all the pictures of your holiday. It was really fun to follow virtually the holidays of a family in Australia.

    Just read back over your holiday posts. Looks like you had a fantastic family holiday. I visited Sea World in Florida with my daughter and it was one of the best experiences ever.

    I think Sea World would be my favorite theme park, too. I'm not much for rides (though it's fun to watch the kids enjoy them) and I just love our wild kingdom & natural world. Animals are amazing.

    I love the moonlight beach photo - the layer upon layer reminds me of a bottle of stacked multi-colored sand.
    Glad you enjoyed that treat together & hope the kids are doing well at their Universities.

    I love Sea World, not to crazy over the rides. I am sure your children loved the rides. I like the sea creatures and exhibits. Wonderful series of photos.
