Arriving in SA

I know it was a long time ago now, but with everything that's happened in the last 6 weeks I haven't had a chance to put many shots or news on the blog from our trip down South. It was a really hectic trip!! We arrived in Adelaide on 6th September. Dad and SongXin had driven from Coffs Harbour the day before and so we flew to Adelaide together. Our little posse was rounded out by my good friend Tracey who met us at Adelaide airport after flying in from Brisbane. Just getting from the airport to our accommodation was an adventure in itself. I'd booked a pretty small hire car (to save money - Matt was proud of me) and even though we'd all been careful to pack lightly it was a tight fit. With four grown ups and a baby in a tiny Toyota Yaris there was much re-organising of gear before we were finally able to shut all five doors.

Dad, SongXin and Tracey stayed in SA for four nights and while they were there we camped down in the most beautiful beach house at Aldinga Beach (20min drive from Emma and Justin's house).
Here's Tracey cuddling up with Ben in my luxurious bedroom.



.. and this is the spectacular view from that bedroom!!



Aldinga Beach is very beautiful- with the green hills rolling all the way to the ocean. Here we are on the beach soaking up the Spring Sunshine.











Of course - the whole reason we went to SA was to meet Fergus. Who was (and is) very cute. I couldn't get over how teeny Fergus looked next to Ben. I really found it difficult to remember Ben being that small!



And while Fergus seemed pretty curious about Ben it would appear that Ben was more interested in looking at the camera...


... or grabbing his Uncle Justin's nose.
