Saturday was Australia Day-a celebration of the discovery of Australia by Captain Cook in 1700's. We had a fun weekend celebrating with the Aussie's. On Saturday, we had the Edwards to our apartment for dinner and the festivities. There was a carnival atmosphere in the parks surrounding Belmore Basin and South Beach. Bands, Amusement rides and games, magic shows and girls walking on stilts was entertainment for a very large group of picnic-ing families. At 9:00pm there was a beautiful fireworks display choreographed to music. We are lucky to live close so we were able to walk over(only 1 block) and come home for dinner. We walked back just minutes prior to the fireworks.On Sunday, we went to the beach. Kait was turned into "turquoise" the mermaid by her Daddy.
A regatta was taking place while we were at the beach--one of many events held for the special weekend.
