At last, my stepson Peter joins us in Sydney!! It was a very merry reunion, I think it was a really long two months apart for all of us. (His mother flew over with him and then went to her own hotel and will stay in Sydney through the weekend.) I can hardly believe we get to be a family of five for a whole month in a row!
The kids and I took the free green tourist shuttle around town to give Peter a little feel of the city and to keep him from falling asleep on his old clock. We get off at the stop nearest the Australian Museum. We walk through Hyde Park, the Australian Museum and then take our time walking back home to World Tower. A very slow, uneventful day, but so wonderful just taking a leisurely stroll in the park in the sunshine, with all the kids together again. One of my favorite times here, and doing almost nothing.

At the Australian Museum you got to put on birds of paradise costumes, then dance electro dance tunes to an actual bird of paradise, with your image on the split screen so you could mimic their dance! In nature the birds of paradise who try to attract mates with jewelry and fancy cars are apparently far less successful…
Peter was hilarious, he did expert birds of paradise imitations, and made up a few moves of his own, I was crying...

Peter's a great big brother -- he has always amused and entertained J&G better than anyone.
There was an epic dinosaur versus dragon battle! Guess who won!
I always tell Peter, as I force him to pose for yet another photo, that some day he will thank me.
I hope I'm right about this.
