Julia and Zak left us as we welcomed Jeff's parents for our first official "visit from home". As Jeff mentioned, Wyatt was speechless upon seeing Grampy. The twins quickly grew attached to Grammy and Grampy and were excited to show their new attendants all of their favorite parks and playgrounds, introduce them to their Aussie friends and take them to the Melbourne Museum, the Aquarium, Healesville Animal Sanctuary and more. In addition to that, Kevin and Deborah made short work of seeing everything there was to see in Melbourne (more than we have even seen), be it by train, tram, trolley, bus, or by foot. Even the greater Metlink transit system was not enough for them and Kevin rented a motorcycle (which Maddy still asks for "Grampy's cycle - where are you?"). They came, they brought mostly rain and cold weather with them, but they could not be stopped. I hope that I will have that kind of energy once I don't have children to slow me down! We were sad to see them go but I am sure they will appreciate the peace and quiet of Port Credit, far from the sleepless antipodean toddlers and their cranky mother. Thanks for putting up with me!
